ABC Sports Australia: Blade 4 dartboard -15 years of evolution...

Since the first bristle dartboard was manufactured in 1932, not much changed until 1997 when Winmau launched the first ever Blade dartboard.

Within a year, the Winmau Blade had taken the global market by storm. The Blade dartboard wiring system had become smaller and all staples were removed from the surface making it the most technically advanced dartboard in the world. It had no rivals as the ultimate low bounce out dartboard, and players immediately benefited from dramatically improved averages.

Winmau’s commitment towards continually improving and innovating saw the introduction of the ultimate Blade board in 2010 – the Blade 4.

The Winmau Blade 4 pools all of Winmau’s 65 years expertise and utilises a pioneering new wiring system that dramatically reduces bounce outs and provides the opportunity for maximum scoring potential. The DSW (Dynamic Sector Wire) is over 50% thinner to even further enhance player averages and to provide best-in-class performance. The unique wiring system is constructed from a hi-tech, ultra strong material that is designed to deflect 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.
