Winmau Blade 4 dartboard with 4th Generation Blade Technology

Blade 4 dartboard with 4th Generation Blade Technology utilises a revolutionary new wiring system that dramatically reduces bounce outs and provides the opportunity for maximum scoring potential. The Blade 4's predecessor, the Blade 3, set the standard as the World’s finest staple-free dartboard and the Blade 4 has taken this to a completely new level.

The DSW (Dynamic Sector Wire) used in the Blade 4 is now over 50% thinner for best-in-class performance and optimum scoring possibilities. This unique wiring system is constructed from a hi-tech, ultra strong material that is designed to deflect the darts into the target area. The advanced molecular structure of the high tensile steel facilitates total accuracy right across the whole playing surface, whilst lasting even longer.

Blade 4 dartboard is a result of over 60 years manufacturing expertise. The incredible durable sisal base is manufactured from millions of the finest East African super dense sisal fibres for long play as standard. A matte finished black restraining band edge and non-reflective high visibility sisal base compliments the sleek and stylish finish of the Blade 4 dartboard. The Winmau name is synonymous with quality and precision giving you peace-of-mind satisfaction that your new Blade 4 dartboard is manufactured to the highest possible standards by Winmau's skilled manufacturing technicians.

SightRight dart training aid for perfect dart vision!

SightRight works in 4 easy steps to give Perfect Dart Vision so you can position yourself exactly on the oche time and time again. The patented design guarantees perfect sighting and, through letting dart players actually see if they are off line, SightRight prevents sighting across the line aim (like 99% of TV dart professionals).

Many dart players unknowingly set themselves up at the number 5 when aiming for treble 20. Each player’s sighting position will be different. However, once you're SightRight’d, your technique and biomechanics will develop a symmetrical throw with no side bias on the dartboard i.e. Double 16 and Double 10 will feel the same. SightRight straightens up the path of your darts into the dartboard dramatically reducing blocked doubles and trebles.

Mervyn King said: "I played professional darts for over 20 years off line. SightRight is amazing, it allows me to stand in exactly the right position every time I practice and I use it everyday”.

SightRight Instructions:

Centre the SightRight - use the plumb line to get the white SightRight line centre to the bullseye (See FIG 1). Place the SightRight darts aid with the lower end of the ‘Step’ nearest the wall. SightRight is designed to make you stand in exactly the same place, with perfect dart vision time and time again.

1. Take your normal position at the oche then look at the SightRight - what do you see? (See FIG 2)
   
   
   1. Can you see a broken or kinked line or
   2. Can you see a continuous straight white line? 
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. Re-position yourself so that you can only see a perfect straight line (See FIG 3) and start to throw at the treble 20. You are looking to get straight darts into the board from your new throwing position. Don’t worry (yet) about where they land, just how straight they are, on entry and flight.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
3. If you are happy that your darts are straight and you are playing from your SightRight’d aiming position, continue to play and practice as normal as much as you can with your SightRight. You may need to re-train the feel and weight in your throw. The bigger the correction in your sighting and position at the oche, the more you will notice the difference in the weight of your throw.

TIP: Once your aiming has been corrected, pay close attention to your NEW foot position at the oche. This will allow you to be SightRight’d when playing without the aid in competitions, etc.

SIGHTRIGHT FAQ:

What about aiming for doubles?

Once SightRight’d you do not need to move - turn towards the double/treble/single you want to hit and your body will pivot perfectly, left or right, like shooting a gun. You will have to train the new weight of your throw, as you’re now symmetrical to every point on the dartboard, as opposed to throwing from different distances. You will no longer have short and long ‘opposite’ doubles which makes it easier to hit them. Your darts should now be straight going into the double bed dramatically reducing blocked doubles. (See FIG 4).

My darts are still not straight?
You’re probably still slightly off line technically in your throw and that needs correcting. Stand more side on to the dartboard until your darts straighten - your foot may end up at 90 degrees to the oche. The effect of turning your foot ‘side on’ will bring your throwing arm into line with your eyes.

Darts still not straight after changing your stance?
Now that you’re sighting and technique are perfectly in line, check that your grip and hand angle are not affecting your throw. Go back to basics - hold the dart like you would a pen pointing straight down the target line.

Your back swing and throw.
You may need to control / shorten your back swing to ensure you throw the dart from in front of your eyes i.e. not from the side of your head. This will help to develop an accurate throw in front of your eyes and enable you to actually start seeing along the flight of the dart as you improve. Some players may prefer shorter shafts to keep their throw in front of their eyes. The easiest way to get the dart position in front of your eyes, is to look into a mirror holding your darts.
