The Blade X Series: How Do Blade Dartboards Improve Your Scoring?

How Blade Dartboards Improve Scoring

For over 25 years, the Blade range has evolved with one clear objective: maximise scoring potential through precision engineering, advanced materials, and relentless refinement. From the pioneering Blade systems to the most advanced Blade X, every generation has been built to reduce bounce-outs, improve dart retention, and maintain consistency under pressure.
Here’s how Blade boards are designed to help players score more and consistently.


1. More Surface Area Where It Matters Most

At the heart of every Blade dartboard is the ultra-thin, staple-free Blade wiring system.
The wires are up to 70% thinner than standard round wires, increasing the playable sisal surface area. That means more room inside every scoring segment - especially in the trebles and doubles.
But it’s not just about thinner wire.
Each Blade wire is precision-engineered at a 60° angle. When a dart contacts the wire, it is guided into the scoring zone instead of being forced back out. This dramatically reduces deflections and unnecessary bounce-outs.
Less wire interference, More scoring potential.


2. Reduced Bounce-Outs Through Angled Deflection

Bounce-outs are scoring killers.
Blade’s angled wire system works by deflecting darts inward on impact rather than rejecting them. Unlike traditional welded webs that can become rigid and uneven over time, the Blade wire system is engineered to remain flat and interlocked, maintaining consistent performance.
The result is cleaner dart entry and fewer lost scoring opportunities, particularly in high-pressure moments.


3. Density Control in High-Scoring Zones

Treble 20. Double 16. Bullseye.
These are the areas that decide legs and titles, and they endure the most impact.
Blade dartboards use patented Density Control Wire Technology to optimise sisal compression specifically within these critical scoring zones. Fibres are directed away from the smaller segments to maintain consistent compression and softer dart entry, where players hit most.

This ensures:
• Greater dart retention in trebles and doubles
• Reduced fibre hardening over time
• Consistent scoring feels across the dartboard’s lifespan

The smaller targets stay playable, forgiving, and reliable match after match.


4. Deeper Sisal for Greater Dart Security

Blade dartboards feature some of the deepest sisal beds in the game, with Blade X extending this to 13% longer fibres than previous generations.

Why does this matter?
Deeper sisal allows for:
• Increased dart penetration
• Greater point stability
• Improved security once the dart is in the dartboard

With modern players increasingly using longer and more aggressive points, deeper fibre support is essential. The dart holds firm instead of loosening and falling, protecting your score.


5. Multi-Layer Core Technology for Consistent Compression

Scoring consistency depends on how the dartboard reacts at impact.
Blade’s Pro Core and Triple Core technologies use layered sisal compression to optimise performance at different depths:
• A lower-compression outer layer for clean dart entry
• A higher-density inner core to absorb kinetic energy
• Reinforced carbon bonding to secure the sisal structure
• Premium Layered Hardwood Backboard: Thinner, stronger and more durable for optimum structural density.

This layered approach ensures the dartboard maintains shape, recovery, and responsiveness  even after millions of darts.
The surface performs the same under heavy play as it does on day one. That consistency builds scoring confidence.


6. Premium African Sisal for Responsive Recovery

All Blade dartboards use premium-grade East African sisal - the highest quality and finest sisal in the world, with over 5.5 million fibres compressed into every dartboard.

The fibres are processed and manufactured locally to maintain material integrity and avoid degradation caused by long-distance shipping.
Higher-quality sisal means:
• Cleaner dart entry
• Faster fibre recovery
• Stronger self-healing performance
• A pristine scoring surface for longer

The dartboard recovers. The segments remain defined. Your targets stay true.


7. Stability Equals Predictability

Improved scoring isn’t just about the face of the dartboard; it’s about structural integrity.
Blade dartboards use premium backboard construction, reinforced bonding, and precision mounting systems to ensure the board remains flat, stable, and aligned.
Because a dartboard that shifts, vibrates, or softens unevenly creates doubt.
Blade eliminates that doubt.


The Result: Scoring Confidence

From the original Blade pioneering thin blade-style wiring, which dramatically reduced bounce-outs, through to Blade 6’s revolutionary Triple Core technology, every generation has been engineered to improve scoring performance. Each evolution refined wire precision, optimised sisal compression, and strengthened structural integrity, increasing playable surface area, enhancing dart retention, and maintaining consistency in high-scoring zones. The result is a 25-year progression of innovation designed to help players score more confidently, more consistently, and under greater pressure.

When you combine:
• Ultra-thin 60° angled wiring
• Density-controlled high-scoring zones
• Deep premium sisal beds
• Multi-layer core compression
• Elite structural durability

You create a dartboard designed to maximise scoring potential and maintain that performance over time.

That is why Blade dartboards are trusted at the highest level of the game.
That is why they sit at the centre of professional competition.
And that is why players who demand consistency choose Blade.

Because better engineering doesn’t just improve durability.

It improves scoring.
