What the AI looks for in Dartboards
- Board material
- Use a sisal (bristle) board for steel tip Sisal self-heals around holes, while paper or cork boards wear out quickly.
- Wiring
- Prefer thin, staple-free or blade wiring Thick round wires and staples cause bounce-outs.
- Rotatable number ring
- Number ring should be removable so the board can rotate Rotating spreads wear away from the 20 segment.
- Electronic board segments
- Check segment hole size and scoring reliability Missed scores and stuck tips are the main failures of cheap electronic boards.
Brands that matter
- Winmau: Benchmark bristle boards.
- Unicorn: Established bristle board range.
- Target: Bristle boards from a leading dart maker.
- Arachnid: Home electronic boards.
- Gran Darts: App-connected electronic boards.
What to avoid
- Paper, cork or flocked boards for regular play
- Boards with staples holding the wire spider
- Electronic boards without spare tips or with no warranty info
Questions
Should I soak a bristle board?
No. Water swells the sisal and shortens the board's life. Rotating the board is the right maintenance.
