Creampuff 22,628 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Cheapest place to buy a dartboard of reasonable quality? Would prefer one with a cabinet but I'm not buying one of the pish paper boards. Anyway, I'm heading into town soon and would like a dartboard. Ideas?

el fergo 0 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 This is what I have: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/part...ext%3EDARTS.htm Considering the Board alone goes for around £35 this is a bargain. The cabinet is good quality too but the darts that come with it though are like throwing sausages. Get a set of tungstens if you dont already.

MuirhouseBear 291 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Ive got one the now i got it a few years ago and its been good but its getting worn down now. The wires coming off a bit and i hit bulls eye yesterday and ripped the metal off a little bit round the bulls eye but that's a winmau board so i'm thinking of getting that Phil Taylor one but its my birthday next month so im thinking of just waiting till then and getting a new one.

I certainly notice less bounce outs on my Unicorn than I get on my mates Winmau. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott-RFC 308 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 What darts would you recommend? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
el fergo 0 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 The only Unicorn board I would buy is the Eclipse Pro. The Eclipse Pro and The Blade 3 are around the best you can get and there isnt much difference between them. If you dont mind spending a bit then go for the Bulls Advantage 2 at about £40. If it has round wires and staples dont bother wasting your money. As for darts I would recommend these: http://www.dartscorner.co.uk/Darts---Steel...oduct_info.html The can be held numerous ways untill you find what is comfortable, good grip and medium weight.
