Blade 7 : Which Dartboard Should You Buy?

Blade 7 is the latest and most advanced edition of the Blade franchise. With only a £30 gap between the cheapest and the most expensive, there’s a Blade 7 for every player, from the most accessible professional platform to the Official Dartboard of the PDC ProTour and the PDC Stage.Here’s how to choose yours.

What every Blade 7 board shares

Before we look at what sets each board apart, it’s worth understanding the common ground that makes every one of them a Blade. Each board in the range is built from 100% finest-grade, self-healing East African sisal and carries ultra-thin Blade wire, angled at 60° to minimise bounce-outs, along with patented Density Control, a 15% thinner 25 ring and a laser-cut steel number ring. Steel thread-lock mounting means no drilling into the board, and a vinyl backboard and Rota-Lock come in the box. Every board also includes 1 month’s free Autodarts Plus (terms apply).
So you are choosing on three things: core construction, design and number ring, and PDC identity.


With the foundation shared, your choice comes down to three things:

·         Core construction. Single Core with 15% longer sisal, Dual Core, or Triple Core, each delivering a different level of dart retention and durability.

·         Design and number ring. From the white anti-glare ring of Blade 7, to the symmetrical 360° design and grey number rings of Blade 7 Dual Core and Blade 7T Championship, to the stage-specific design of Blade 7T Stage.

·         PDC identity. PDC endorsed on Blade 7 and Blade 7 Dual Core, and the Official Dartboard of the PDC ProTour or the PDC Stage on Blade 7T.

Blade 7 at a glance

Blade 7

Choose Blade 7 (£59.99) if…

•         You want a real Blade at the most accessible price, for the home, pub or a club.

•         You’re stepping up from a basic board, or from an older Blade.

•         You’re buying a first serious board or a gift.

The 15% longer sisal lifts the sisal bed depth to the Dual Core and Triple Core standard, so you get strong retention and durability without paying for extra core layers.

Blade 7 Dual Core

Choose Blade 7 Dual Core (£69.99) if…

•         You throw regularly and want the board to last. Symmetrical 360° design with 10 balanced rotation points lets you rotate consistently and spread wear across the scoring zones.

•         You care about how your set up looks. Grey perimeter branding and the smaller grey number ring keep the look clean.

•         You want better dart retention than Single Core. The lower-density outer core gives smooth entry; the high-density inner core absorbs excess kinetic energy for a firm hold.

•         It’s only £10 more than Blade 7, and for most home enthusiasts it’s the best-value step up. 

Blade 7T Championship Edition

Choose Blade 7T Championship Edition (£89.99) if…

•         You play competitively and want the flagship of the Blade 7 range.

•         You follow the PDC ProTour and want the board the world’s best play on week in, week out.

•         You want Triple Core plus symmetrical rotation with 10 balanced rotation points.

Blade 7T Stage

Choose Blade 7T Stage Edition (£89.99) if…

•         You want the board you see under the lights at the biggest PDC events.

•         You’re buying for a darts fan. It is a standout gift.

•         You want Triple Core performance with the recognisable PDC Stage look.

Championship or Stage? They share one Blade 7T playing specification at the same price. Choose Championship if symmetrical rotation matters to you; choose Stage for the stage identity.
