The Blade is the most widely thrown board series in the sport, and the reason is the wiring — an ultra-thin profile with a staple-free bullseye leaves less metal standing proud of the sisal for an incoming dart to strike.

The range covers every level. Blade 6 comes in standard, Dual Core and Triple Core, with the extra layers adding density behind the doubles and trebles where the traffic concentrates. Blade X is the official PDC board.

The Blade 360 is built to be rotated easily, which is the cheapest thing you can do to extend a board's life. The Diamond Plus has stayed in production longer than most boards manage, using triangular wire to guide darts into the bed rather than deflect them.
