Bit of a late entry here, but thanks for this! I had a permanent set up in my spare room for almost 2 years but now have to move it and I've been looking for a different solution and this is that solution! Thanks for the review!
Great review, mate. :) Couldn't agree more too, I've had mine for about 7months now and still can't believe it only cost me 50, some are nearly 200. 😂Love your helpful content and vibe mate, keep it going. Good luck with fatherhood too! Best thing ever. 👍😉
Congratulations on 1k subs Bryn. I also use one of these. The best thing I did was was put a piece of wood in between the stand bracket and the dartboard. Then connect a rotating bracket to the wood to hang your dartboard on. Make rotating your board miles easier. Good stand though highly recommended.
Interesting stuff. I'm lucky that I have my board set up permanently in a spare room so I don't really need a stand, but for those who need one or are moving around hotels every week this looks to tick all the boxes.
@@DartsClass what is it like for board rotation? I was going to drill a piece of wood to it and attach a dartboard fitting to the the wood to make it easy to rotate and change the board.
It's fine for rotation, very easy, but that is because it moves around easily and that can be annoying when just playing as you may knock it and have to restraighten often
@@DartsClass I think I will take the plunge. I am a little bit faster than Michael Smith when I throw so I hope the wobble isn't too much. I actually have a Unicorn on Tour and it's not too bad to be honest. I have one on the wall in a dedicated darts room but I find myself using the strap a lot.
Is this for any dartboard, or specific ones to attach to it? I have one that requires drilling into a wall but I'm not allowed to do that, so I have 4 holes in the back of my dartboard, so was wondering if a stand will accomodate it. Thanks!
Great video again as always ,yes this would do the same job as a £200 stand as they are all the same design and will all have slight movement exactly the same as this £50 one .and do you recommend the Rob Thornton darts as I have never tried a knurled dart thanks
Evening mate, you've said you've put a Nail Polish mark on the Stand but then count up to the third hole? Should I place a mark or just use the 3rd hole? 👍
The third hole is quite close to the correct height, but with the legs at full width it drops the board below by about 2 or 3 inches, therefore you need to heighten the bottom fastener by a couple of inches to narrow the base, which in turn will get the board to the correct height. 👍🎯
Yeah it works for any board. 100% the only solution I've found when the neighbours complain. Any other sound proofing of a wall mounted board might help, but will never eradicate the reverberation through the walls to the neighbours. I use this stand more than ever now in the house
Hi, i want to quieten the noise down of the banging of the darts through the wall, my board is up on the wall and you can hear the noise. With the dartboard up on the wall does that reduce the noise?
The only realistic way of stopping the noise is a stand. Some people mount their boards on foam / carpet on the wall which helps a bit, but the noise is mainly down to reverberation, and as long as the board is mounted to the wall, neighbours, family members etc will still hear it. 😕
This is a great video as I don’t have a designated wall mounted board and have had mine for a year. It’s good, but it’s started to break already. I’m going to have to replace it for something more sturdy. Great video. 👍🎯
@@fynixx8158 not yet. But I got the bully darts stand and that's simple enough. Unscrew a little, twist and tighten again. Consider the Bully Darts stand and the KOTO darts stand, that one has a traditional wall bracket method of hanging the dartboard, but on a portable stand.
Haven't played on that one unfortunately, but had no issues with this one if you're looking to save a few quid. On this one you just have to ensure everything is tightly fixed together and it's decent enough 👌
Looks like if yer in a game the board will go left or right and yeh need to straight it all the time taking yer darts out that wobble is bad too I'll give it a miss motions sickness lol
Is it quieter with it not being attached to a wall , I've already had an argument cos my board for xmas was up 10mins and 2 doors away upstairs complained about noise ? I have to have a place of practice which is not basically a pub ?
These stands are a POS. I had the exact same stand and it was utter junk. When you pulled the darts out the board tilted so you could be stood straight on, but the boards at an angle so your darts go in at an angle. B&Q, £35 in timber and a box of 100mm screws, and a few door hinges and I now have the sturdiest board possible with a built in foldaway raised oche.
If you follow the video Gorilla advise it does show how to tighten to stop the board tilting forwards, unless that was a previous model that had the defect that needed them to change something. They aren't fool proof but I see a lot of people comment about the forward tilt but mine doesn't at all 🤷♂️
@@DartsClass left and right tilt mate. I would set it up square to the oche, but after 30 mins of playing the board had a severe tilt to one side. Usually the left side was closer and the right side further away because of the amount of times I go for D16. Removing the darts from either side of the board resulted in it not being square to the oche.
