The NEW Winmau Blade 6 vs Blade 6 Triple Core Carbon - Is It Worth The Extra $$$ 

I purchased the blade 6 TC on the day of the release. My thoughts so far are that this is probably gonna be the only board I'll ever play with from now on. The quality is just way beyond the other companies.

So much effort in the planning and editing of this video! Thanks Worldwide, great review!

Love it. Great review as always. Love that you answered the question that most of the people have. Is it worth it. Keep up the great work and look forward to the next one. Cheers

Just watched this - really enjoyed it and now a subscriber. Well presented and easy to listen to.

Awesome video. Been wanting a winnmau board for sometime now. I'm going to splurge on the carbon board

Preferring larger segments because of an advantage in online darts seems to me like a weird reason, for two reasons: 1) since this will be your primary practice board, I would want smaller, if having to choose, so you hone your skills a little better. If going to league play at a local, for instance, you want the segments to feel larger rather than smaller. 2) I would really prefer as close to regulation size as possible, not larger or smaller. Thanks for your review!

Thank you for taking the time and spending lots of money doing a great review, those segments are huge !. I found the B5 a little soft and prefer brighter colours AND vein free so I'll be sticking with my G3+ with the metal Unicorn number ring for the time being

Great review - I liked all of the detailed 'nit picking' ☺ especially the missing sisel patches and the levelling tool included on the triple core ... just an extra note that there is a depth gauge on your vernier micrometer - use the little tab that extends from the opposite end to measure / compare the wire heights. Cheers

Thanks for the video. Very usefull review. Keep it up :)

Good honest review as always. It’s hard to argue against the Winmau Boards being the best on the market.

I got the regular board and that is enough for me, but I really like the numbers on the carbon one. Nice video. And you have an interesting throwing technique

Best range of boards ever made. With 3 different price points, theres one to suit every budget. Yes the carbon is expensive, and probably no need to go to that level for a home board, unless you do online competition. Im still using blade 5, with smooth points, its lasting forever! My Champions Choice trainer board has that bright orange look on the trebles, i like it 😁

Great video 👍 I've always gone with the basic Blade boards, apart from one time, when I went with the Eclipse HD II. Dreadful board! Even with smoothe points, it was chewed up in no time. My other half treated me to the Blade 6 TCC for Xmas this year (on my recommendation 😉) Lovely board. Zero issues. Would've gone with the basic board, had I been paying for it, but it was a gift. The TCC is a bit too pricey, considering the basic B6s we use in the league are more than adequate.

Blade 6 on the way in the mail. looking so forward to it. Glad I saw your vid today because I'm glad I got the right one for me. The red orange on the carbon bugs me. I'll sub now and explore your channel. Like. Thanks.

Just got the blade 6 carbon for Christmas and I love it

Interesting and well done for the reviews you do inc this one . Im still on the blade 5 board from a few yrs ago , i dont practice as much them days as one time did fir sure and do turn the boards segments around once every 4/6 weeks approx this to give the board more so even wear AND im a guy when practice i go from a few bullseyes to begin trebles from treble 10 to the treble 20 and then bulls always thinking of check outs ..And then around double 1 to double 20 and end on bull/s I ll give few on the scores also and i do all this in breaks inbetween times as get problems with the base of my back often and so dont tend to play as much as i once did for sure although practicing too much i feel can do as much harm as not Anyhow all to their own as for me i am a firm believer in Darts is in you or not from the beginning of playing the game i often heard from older experienced good players back in 1970s in that i had the game in me, from the off in comparison to a few guys my age who could not count the board ..and yet they were in higher classes in school ( Its a funny old World as they say lol ) But i tried also and i kept at it and learnt myself the check outs , with the ways to go through writing down on paper / with pen in hand them days ..and i paying attention to the older guys who played both when playing v them and also marking game/s i paid attention to the good players in the league and learnt and learnt much myself also with paper / pen in the house in which took some time ..but my mind re darts counting is alike a calculator them days for sure We all have our own ways to go , some go one way to check out , others another way its all individual But counting dartboard is a needy if your wanting to go into tournaments its a thing u should learn anyone who cant I could not count when i first began darts very good at all , although learnt reasonably quickly as my mind was into nailing such down in my mind the countig with ways to go for check outs this from the off , as i loved my darts and wanted to get it all right to aid me in games .. As for Dartboards for me Blade 5 i have has this rotar system which is all good as im so used to before that board with inserting rubber inserts to keep the board level or steady more like lol ..But norm was cardboard id use until later in yrs used rubber inserts ..but rotar system is much better , and hidden out of the way so looks better also And its the normal in thing with todays boards is rotar system ..Somethings in darts as we move on in yrs are so much better boards and gadgets are now . Though trebles and doubles segments are that touch larger today in comparison to 1970s and early 80s i so recall when staples were all way around in each doubles and trebles and bullseye and 25s segment .. and so we had more bounce outs them days as well as wiring surrounding the dart boards were rounded and thicker wires ..and so again more bounce outs which was dangerous also , as anyone stood in harms way can easily have received a dart in the eye ..I know ive jumped out of harms way when my own dart had bounced right out and onto the oche area often ..So much more safer today also which is all good . Good review though there bud and all good . Well done .

Very nice dart board. I am looking forward of purchasing one. Nice Review. WWD.

Great video! Thanks a lot……hope you get to do Blade 5 DC vs Blade 6 DC . Thanks:)

I bought the B4DC six plus years ago and just ordered a regular B6. I never liked the more orange colored segments but the board was great. Bit, I also happen the like the veins, I guess for nostalgia and always missed that look. At near 7 years, my spider is coming out so it was time, and I’m looking forward to the latest Blade board. I don’t give a hoot about the DC, OR TC. Been around boards since round wire/staple days and all these are so much better. Segment size is going to vary some board to board but as long as standards are met I’m happy.

good video thank you!!!! I bought the normal blade 6

Just put up my blade 6TC with Plasma LED ring light - waiting for my surround to be delivered and then I’ll use it. I had the blade 5 before so very excited to see how the 6TC plays

Awesome vid with an HONEST opinion and review. The blade 6 looks like the right thing to buy based on everything you said. The triple core only seems necessary if you are making a living from darts.

This was great. I'm thinking of the triple core, just as I like to "future-proof" anything that I buy, that's to say, get the absolute best availabe at that time if I have the money... it will last years..

Thanks for the awesome review. Do both boards sound the same? Also is there any point of considering the double core version?

Winmau have always made the best dartboards IMO and the Blade 6 are no exception!! I really love the look of the TC carbon so clean. My only reservation is the extra price difference is quite substantial and can I justify spending the extra on it. Over here in the UK at ARGOS the are £47 ($64) for the standard £60 ($82) for the dual core and £75 ($102) for the Triple core carbon. (Knowing me as I do, I will probably get the triple core anyway) Fabulous review Great stuff WWD 👍🏻

☘️ Brilliant Video I will go for the Blade 6 Cheaper Board thank You 🎯👍 from Rep of Ireland

i just got mine (regular) and lol i didn't realize how worn my old blade 4 looks compared to it :P anyway i don't think i can live without the rota lock system anymore. the blade 4 spoiled me :P i loved my blade 4 and this is definitely a big improvement.

Great review as usual.

nice review

I just picked up two Blade 5 dual cores on clearance at a local shop. Still the best board Winmau has made IMO.

Always used a winmau board. The blade 5 currently is what I have and I love it,But the Blade 6 tc is next!!!!

Board is awesome. Just buy 8 days ago. Board is wooow

As always, top review. Everything you said tells me to buy the standard or the dual but every time I look at it I'll be pissed off that I didn't buy the triple core. So £75 it is. I don't think its too expensive considering how much hammer it'll get 😊

dual core , triple core , The sisal seems to fly out of the boards like theres no tomorrow . I like regular the most :)

return on the king

nice 180 at the end ;-)

crazy watching this now, that 57 dollar board is now 30$ more lol, im canadian and i just bought the blade 6 tc for 179$

I bought the blade 6 with the white numbers For the price. but I like the carbon one when I buy the carbon one I'm going to spray the numbers white will look cool 😎👍🇮🇪

Being massed produced not custom made there's always going to be variables in boards , chunks missing triple core was off putting for a supposedly better board ( mass production flaws ) . I agree the cheaper board looked better overall and measurements , value for money , sometimes it's just a gimmick for sales saying the triple core is better and so on .

I have a TC Blade 6 on the way (before seeing your video). I was into darts 30 years ago, and decided to rekindle my interest. I had (still do - pack rat) a,dart cabinet and am eschewing that for a surround. I also bought a Target Corona vision 360 LED light, which simply was unthinkable back in the day. I figured I’d splurge on equipment, since after you figure out your dart setup, maintenance (mostly just flights and some stems) is pretty cheap for the hours I’ll spend. I like the numbers on the more expensive board, because they are clean compared to the wiry numbers on the less expensive one. That said, I do wish they’d opted for a little lighter shade of gray. Also, it would be nice to have redder vs oranger segments, but that’s not a huge issue for me. I was disappointed that there were so many flaws in your more expensive board. Imo, they should have better,quality control for that price. Thanks again for your review!

Unicorn changing their branding to "PDC Approved" tells me there could be a case for them losing their contract... at least then they can keep that statement on their boards. Who knows if they'll renew or not next year. I'd say it's likely, but would love to see Winmau take over as the board of choice. These are just too good. The Eclipse Ultra has already shown to be largely inconsistent (again) with some getting absolutely torn up on the pro-tour with only semi-aggressive points. Great video, think I'll be getting myself a B6 TC next.

My blade 4 is still awesome. I like the veiny look. Olde Time look.

I wounder if the the wire not being pushed in as deep has to do with the triple size difference. Like the video thanks for making it.

IMO, the B6 has a darker black giving more contrast which makes it seem brighter. The black is driving the perception. Both boards look like winners.

i would use the ring of the triple core om the normal boar . maybe on an target asper board .

Iv just upgraded to the triple core absolutely best dartboard on the market love the new number ring didn’t really like the colour though so I have sprayed painted mine white looks 100 times better

thx, i order now the normal. no need laser cute mega numbers to kill the tip of my arrow ;)

Very nice video !! Maybe the best deal is the choice of the BLADE 6 DUAL CORE who is just in the middle of BLADE range ??!! ;-)

I wonder if the wire being more exposed on the TC caused the segment size to be smaller since the regular Blade 6 you where measuring higher up on the wire.

Worldwide; really timely review. My Blade 5 duo core board needs replaced soon and I'm in the market for a new one. I checked here in the states and A-Z has the Blade 6 Carbon board listed for $119; but not available until mid-Dec. A question; did you order the board thru Dartshopper and was the shipping still $10? Thx

I don't understand why the outside ring that the numbers are attached to isn't painted black to make the numbers stand out. Also on the new version of the dart board it seems that the thicker flatter numbers will result in more darts bouncing out.

Great review i have blade 5 standard board are the segment's a little bigger on blade 6

The blade 6 is going to be my first board and I think that's the right choice. I liked how the numbers look on the TC because I never got the dart font but actually I see them as a downside. I wouldn't want to hit that lazer cut plate with a dart. The wire probably wouldn't be that much of a deal. I think I'm going to remove the numbers anyway and paint them on my background and for people with good aim you'll probably not hitting the numbers.

Watching this after Unicorn have stepped down from PDC partnership, your wish may come true much sooner than anticipated! What board do you think will be used from now on? Frontrunning opinion seems to be Winmau unsurprisingly, but I'm also thinking maybe the One80 Gladiator +3 or Bulls Advantage 5.01?

Is the spider thickness the same? I heard in the video that it is higher, about thickness? Thank you

i will test the dual core for you :)

It's possible that when you measured the segments you measured the B6 segments near the tip of the blade which would have less girth near the top. You mentioned that the blades seemed to be sunken into the board more. When you measured the BY triple core you got the caliper deeper into the segment therefore measuring at a point where the blade was thicker which would make the segment measure smaller, when they could very likely be identical.

I like the Vien free but rather the old white ring the grey is a bit dull

Q. Have you done a review on the Winmau blade 6 from temu? I'm interested in tht.

Great video 👍 would you say it’s worth getting the normal blade 6 instead of the blade 5 duel core ? My blade 5 duel core is coming to the end of its life soon and not sure weather to get the standard blade 6 or another blade 5 duel core.

I don't really like the look of the new Winmau board, but given that they're the same company as Nodor ever since Nodor bought them out, I'm sticking with my Nodor Supamatch 3 board until they bring out a better 1.

Awesome review thank you. But like you stated that answer between blade 5 and the 5dc has never been answered. What are your thoughts on that now? Is the 5dc worth that extra $25-30 than the blade 5? Tia.

Why do the not paint the white segments ? Then they are more brighter and better

Blade 6 Triple Core looks amazing, but it's too expensive (around 90€). I ordered One80 Gladiator III+ from DartsCorner (around 52€). I think, it's better choice for that price.

Hi I've got a blade 5 at the moment and just about ready for a new board what board would you recommend after watching your videos was thinking about a target aspar thanks

Would you buy the Blade Carbon and get rid of your Unicorn Ultra? I have to Blade 5 and like them both.

Does someone know how they clean up the sissels when they stick out? At the big tournaments (mostly after Withlock) they fixed it.

The wear and tear is the most important aspect when I look to buy a board and there's only one brand that I know delivers on that every single time. Winmau of course! Be interesting to see if the triple core marks up less with use over the more regular cheaper version. Also in general, this one metric stops me from taking a chance on any of those other brands boards. Would love to know if anything comes close, or even beats it, without dropping money on it to find out!

What flights are you using in this video? Are they moulded flights? or standard folding flights? they look moulded? I like the moulded flights I ma currently using the Robson flights and I like them a lot. Just wondering what these flights are?

So long as you dont use very aggresive points the normal blade 6 should last just as long.

Would be nice to see blade 6 dual core compared to blade 6 and blade 6 triple core

10:37- 10:39 see this spider on right.

Where can I buy the TC-carbon for $93

Winmau i have owned for 44 years all i ever had to do with it was repaint the colors and it was brand new looking. I am tempted to buy the Blade 6, 6 generation saving 46 dollars. but if i am going to be disappointed cosmetically i would rather buy it personally rather than order.

I went to a tournament Queens Hall, Oldham, December, 2016. I booked a VIP package. All the darts players were up their own arses except for Mark Webster. He was the only darts player to have time for amenable chat. Always watched it on television in my wheelchair and have always wanted to go. I won't be ever going again because I got located on the periphery instead of the location I paid for because they couldn't be bothered to rearrange the seating. It was all requested at the booking stage. Probably why I never see any disabled darts fans at matches, like we don't exist. Football and other sports are even worse. We have VIP money to spend too.

Was hoping for a second gravity drop into white for true comparison

Worldwide Darts what dartboard do you prefer for professional use? Currently I use the One80 Gladiator 3+ but it's one year old and time to change for a new one... Blade 6? Blade 6 Dual Core? Blade 6 Tripple Core or One80 again?

I love the crutch!! 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

I have the plain old Blade 5, which is still in pretty good condition, although faded by the sun. I'm seriously considering an upgrade to the Blade 6 Carbon, but I'm not sure if it's going to be worth the upgrade? I do like the style of the number ring more and the material does look nice, but I'm not sure if the sound and feel are going to be improved a lot?

My triple core arrived today. Looks awesome but man, the wonky number ring lets the side down.

Is there any way to buy that new grey number ring separately? I’d absolutely LOVE to put this on my B5

Once again cutting down on the bristle used and making it sound like an improvement. Impress me by cutting it in two.then compare it with a board at least twenty years old.

This guy sounds like Michael Stipe from R.E.M.

Hello. What do you think, what is better for home, Blade 5 dual or Blade 6 single?

What would be a better purchase im in uk blade 6 £47 blade 5 dc £52 what one good vids btw

I think Blade 6 sounds a little better than triple core

🎯

the unicorn eclipse ultra looks better then the tripple core.

Would you suggest buying blade 5 dual core or the blade 6 standard one?

great board at first had 2 of them now dont last half as long sisal board not as good as bristle for lasting both boards didnt last 6 months then its bounce out after bounce out

Is the triple core worth the many? No the blade 6 is a good board. But if you have extra to spent and want good looking producs. Like me using littler gen 1s and a triple core then go 4 it.

How much was the shipping to the USA?

Hello Worldwide are the winmau segments bigger than the gladiator 3+ segments?

I have the Carbon Blade 6, and could only describe it as “sexy”

the regular B6 looked like it didn't heal well

Is this board any quieter than other dart boards?

In our race to get healthy, might be time for a worldwidedart nakka darts live stream playing against fans!

Wosh it was still that cheap, just payed $85 for a standard blade 6 and the triple core is around $125 in 2023

I think my personal conclusion is... For a casual thrower, the standard blade 6 is more then enough.

what darts do you use?
