I really like my Aspar. Not a fan of the logos being so prominent. It was one of the selling points for me to buy the Aspar. By the way loved the video making a dartboard while you were explaining it!
Yeah I thought it was better with the more minimal/smaller logos. Thanks 👍
This looks like a board I could have. The symmetrical logo's idea is quite appealing, although they could do with being a touch smaller, and the adjustable feet would be much better than the rubber wedges I currently have jammed strategically around my old Unicorn Eclipse Pro.
Thanks for a great review Darren 👍👍
Thanks mate! :)
Stunning board, the rear end is a beauty
Great honest review as always Darren
Thanks mate! :)
Nice board and even better review, thanks Darren.
Thanks mate! :)
Great looking board. I worry that those Tor logos would draw my eye towards them when trying to focus on the doubles. Top review as always! 💪
Thanks mate! :)
Positives are it ships with roto-locks, so much better compared to using wedges, let alone bits of cardboard stuffed behind it. I don't like the red Tor logos, looks a bit, well, crap to me. Maybe some faint Target logos with red highlights might have been nicer. But I'm sure standing at the oche it looks better. I'm not sure I buy into the Madagascan sisal being superior, it sounds like they were able to get a supplier that Winmau doesn't use.
Interesting price point though, I think your average player will either opt to pay less around the £50 mark, or just opt for one of the Blade 6s as it's what they see on the telly. I seem to remember the Aspar was fairly quickly reduced in price... So I guess we'll see how well these sell. I would definitely consider it when I need a new one though.
Yeah the logos are not so nice looking, if they were a quarter of the size it would be neater and better. I just dont know the ins and outs of sisal to be sure. I was told years ago that because its a natural fibre there is all sorts of things that can affect the quality which is probably why we get people who have good and bad boards. Even the time of year and how its cuts can affect it. Maybe Madagascan sisal is better in some things but I dont really know if its the best for a board, this may for all I know be the first board I have had using it, so will see how it fares :) Prices may change as you say especially as there seems to be some recent competition with all these new boards :)
Thanks Darren was waiting for your review. Was hoping to get your input on the firmness and comparison to other boards so thanks a alot for that!
It sure looks neat!! Wires seems flushed more than the winmau TC 6.
Thanks, it is more firm than the B6TC :)
Tht new design is kinda growing on me. I like it. 👍 Happy darting. 😊
🙂👍
Glad to see this softer than the aspar. My aspar showed a lot of white holes when new and never really healed with use. I was disappointed with it
my aspar is still very hard even with a lot of use
Great video. I was very curious about this board. I thought the Aspar was a good board. Had my dislikes, but I felt it was a great value. I like the improvements to keep up with the competition.
Thanks! I think it could be popular if it heals well and lasts well, its probably got that middle ground of firmness that should be ok for most people, will just have to wait and see :)
@@DartsReviewChannel that's why we wait for the update videos.
You have to get yourself a massage ball for your elbow and use it every day on the painful muscles in your arm and shoulder. You hold in to the wall and press it hard up and down. It helped me, and still does.
@@gerddekeyzer7439 I have a hard lacrosse type Ball which was advertised as a massage ball, only used it a couple of times though. Wasn't sure if it was doing anything really. 👍
Great Video. Can i ask you for an advise? My grip is slighlty moving to the rear and now front taperd Darts are a bit to skinny for me at the back. Do you have any recommendation for a rear taperd Dart set? Maybe in the style of the Shot Celt Toranos (blue is just not my colour :) )Thanks 😊
Thanks! Yes definitely try that style if that is the case or just go for a chunky shortish straight barrel style.
@@DartsReviewChannelThanks, do you have any specific Dart that you tried with that style which you would recommend? I know its not really your way of throwing but who better to ask with a question like that then you haha. Have a great day!
@@josephcic5005 I quite like some of the Unicorn models, they often do darts less than 48mm such as the Code Blue
@@DartsReviewChannel Thank you!
A decent looking board for the price, definitely a lot of advertising but don’t see it as a distraction really, thanks for the review Darren, happy darting to all 🍺🎯
Cheers mate! :)
Cracking looking board in my eyes. Looks like an ideal replacement for my aspar. Nice to see they have put the holes in for the mod system too.
Seems decent so far
Hi Darren what flights are they like the idea of them when you hit close to it it spins great video as usual mate
Thanks 👍 they are the cuesoul tero plus
There is too much logo for me. Why not make them smaller but some people will like it. Good review Darren.
Agreed 👍 thanks Glenn 😊
I've tried many boards, most probably. The best lasting one was the Blade 4. But I do love my blade 6 TC to be honest very much. Have had that one since it came out, still looks almost brand new.
It heals quite well but a bit too soft for my liking :)
@@DartsReviewChannel yeah i dont have the most powerful throw but i play w 24g darts and had to switch to 35mm points so i don't sink all of them and end up blocking too much of the treble bed(not that i group that well mostly, but still...)
I had the Aspar, marked up really quickly.. May try one of the Tor boards.
I have a B6 Dual and B6 Triple at the moment, the triple is wearing a lot faster than the dual..
Yeah the Aspar did not wear well with long use compared to some.
Clean number ring, offset by garishly designed logos.
Has someone been eating those flights Darren? 🤣 The board seems pretty good so far
Oh yes, they got used a lot, bits missing off them but I am not choosy lol
@@DartsReviewChannel If it works for you lol
Great work, Darren. Btw, how long does 10,000 throws take?
He's doing about 12 darts a minute, or 720 an hour, so between 12-15 hours depending how fast he throws. Just a rough estimate from watching this video.
Thanks! for me quite a while lol! :)
@@mikeupdike yeah it also depends on what level of pain I am in each day lol :)
@@DartsReviewChannel x 3 new boards!
That's dedication!
@DartsReviewChannel 🤣 hope that elbow gets better eventually! Love the videos, keep up the great work. I'm sure it's spread out over longer periods of time, 10k throws is a lot of darts regardless of speed. I was curious about the answer myself and did some rough calculations 🤣. I couldn't imagine 10k throws in one go all day long nonstop. That'd have to be some kind of Guinness world record.
Glad to see something simialr to roto-lock
Yeah its a useful addition :)
The full name for the Sisal plant is agave sisalana. Obviously a relative of the tequila agave, agave azul (agave tequilana).
To me, this means agave sisalana is the GOAT in the agave family, because not only does it give us dartboards, but also a type of mezcal
Edit: Just to note Brazilian sisal is also used as lesser sisal in boards. If i remember correctly, the GOAT Everscore NXT LVL also uses Madagascar sisal
yes I read that already. I just have nothing to tell me that its the best for a dartboard though, environmental conditions might mean in some instances it could be the worse if it is affected by moisture more than other sisal for example :)
@@DartsReviewChannel oh please, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying any sisal is better than another, because I hAve no way of knowing. What I do know is that sisalakea boards, and it can also make mezcal, so it's my favorite agave 😂
I know, but that was the problem in trying to find the right info, there was nothing to say if a certain type of sisal was better or worse for specific things like a dartboard :) I know what you mean though lol
@@DartsReviewChannel oh don't mind me, I'm just trying to justify my drinking andy hobbies 😂
101 comentar 😊 Look nice, will wait for Release... thx again for Video and Review 😊
No problem :)
Need this, but who can wait till December. Logos could be a bet smaller but oh well
its only 6 weeks away lol
which is heavier ... bandit or tor? my theory is the heavier the board the faster it self heals
Bandit is 5.15kg Tor 5kg and 701 is 5.2kg
Looks a good board. Do like the number rings, although I do agree about the logos being too much. I imagine Target have an eye on the PDC contract when that’s up
Maybe :)
Das ist die schönste scheibe die ich je gesehen habe 👍. Hab schon vorbestellt und freue mich schon sehr risig sie in den Händen zu halten .Da kann sich Winmau ne scheibe abschneiden . Einfach mega geiel die scheibe .Super arbeit 👍👍👍👍🎯
@@christopholejnik5972 yes
I'm in the market for a new board as the spider quickly loosening in the one got (looking at you Unicorn).
Thinking about getting a Bandit.
Still early days but the Bandit does seem to be holding up well so far :)
@@DartsReviewChannel Thanks, good to hear!
This looks lovely…… due a new board ….. unlike others I don’t mind the branding and like fact all the same all away around…….. could have upgraded number ring but done well with back and metal ring around the board ……very tempting but proof in pudding how it plays
Yeah will tell in time how well it fares :)
Im curious to see how would these boards stand against my Eagle Talon points 50 mm long lol , i think this board will look like after visit by Simon Whitlock
@@tomgengar all extreme grippy points will wear a board quicker. They are not needed for home use really.
@@DartsReviewChannel i use them in blade 6 dc and my points arent agressive , but didnt have any bounce outs at all but when ive played league game bounce out it cost me 180 .
Which top 2 boards would you recommend if we dont take the price in consideration, just pure enjoying in playing darts on them
Not used the recent ones long enough to know yet
@@DartsReviewChannel how about in general
@@vh0027 before these new ones I would have said Gladiator 3+ but some people get bad ones, I also dont mind the Unicorn Eclipse and possible the Samaurai Infinity but boards can be inconsistent due to using natural materials and how they are stored etc.
time will tell how well it holds up .
Indeed! :)
Nice looking board. Shame the fruit density meter is hiding quite successfully.
Having the firmness in numbers istead of just an impression increases the comparability.
I think its in one of many boxes I put all my darts stuff in, I will find it eventually :)
Very nice but I’m getting the bandit 4
Well the Bandit 4 seems really good so far, will know in a few weeks how they compare to each other though, quite impressed with the Bandit 4 though :)
It seems very hard ? I had problems with the aspar. So I switched back winmau
Not as hard as the aspar but if you prefer a soft board B6TC is a lot softer 👍
@@DartsReviewChannelBlade 6 single core is softer than triple core, I think
@@radonjicaa Well its on a par, the B6TC just about edged it for softness in my comparison test here: ua-cam.com/video/hE1oJy1eM7s/v-deo.html
I find it funny that quite a few of these differently branded boards are made in the same factory...🤣
Very likely
@@DartsReviewChannel as far as I'm aware, most of them are from the Winmau factory...
@@alanleemaxwell831 dont think so, they make Winmau, Nodor and Red Dragon darts in their factory in Kenya using Kenyan sisal but not sure which other brands they might make for but the Bandit used to be made in New Zealand, the Bandit 4 is made in China as is the Bulls 701 and also the Tor but China has a number of factories that make boards.
Going to be really honest here ol shot gen 4 is mint like 👍
It's very good so far, still early days
Them flights look like they’ve been chewed by the dog Darren! Sure you’ve got some spares… 😂
Lol they are a bit knackered but still working 😁
Love my ultra
I liked mine but it doesn't heal holes well
Looks like a great board. I agree with your opinion on the TOR logos
Yeah I think they should have been smaller
Weaver Darts in 4 days? 😁😁😁😍
not got them yet, so maybe, maybe not :)
@@DartsReviewChannel no problem. It should be my christmas present 🙃 if they will arrive until christmas it‘ll be okay 😂
@@cb4chrisbreak should be very soon I think
Just test the boards with a Axe . It's easier. Throw that at it lol😂no more boards foe me Dazz buy good to know review 🎉
not with my arm!
Agreed, pull all the logo's off and i'll throw my blade in the closet and switch 😅
lol :)
Aspar was rubbish, i tried it. This one looks decent, but there is so much variety now I am not sure it is the best
I think a lot will depends on the type of board you like as much as anything. If you prefer a soft board then B6TC if you want a firm board the Bandit G4 or Bulls 701 and the Tor looks to be somewhere inbetween I think.
Target are like that posh bugger in the street that has a fancy car and brags about it nine stop. That board has far too many logos and they are far too big. At the end of the day all these 'premium' boards will perform fine. Ill be buying the shot bandit as its the least in your face one
LOL I know the ones you mean :)
I cant stand the amount of logos. it looks so marketing attention seeking and may also be distracting. Its the same with the winmau surround, they print the names of their other products on it and hope it sends a buyme message
according to those who tried the board, it's not distracting at all when playing. and the board will look the same after rotations - i find other brands logos off centre more distracting than this
It’s actually good marketing as when you rotate it you still have the logo in the same place so it’s actually less distracting
@MultiSausack I think the logos would have been much better if they were smaller
@@DartsReviewChannel they are a bit smaller on the aspar, aren't they?
@@sebwilk similar amount but a lot smaller
