Accudart Boards: Worth the Name or Not?
The mounting bracket clicks onto the wall, you step back to the oche, and your first throw sinks into the fresh sisal with a clean, satisfying bite. That first impression is exactly what an Accudart board is built to deliver, night after night.
If you're weighing an Accudart against the crowd of steel-tip dartboards out there, the case for it comes down to four things. Durability, surface quality, precision, and looks.
Built to Take a Beating
Accudart boards are made to withstand repeated play, so you won't be shopping for a replacement every season. That durability is where the cost efficiency comes from — one board, years of games.
The high-quality sisal fibers also self-heal after each throw. Pull your darts out and the surface closes back up, which keeps visible damage down and stretches the board's lifespan.
A Playing Surface That Holds Your Darts
The surface strikes the balance between softness and firmness that quality darting demands. Your darts land more consistently, and consistent landings make for a better game.
Pair the board with steel-tip darts for the best grip. Soft-tip darts will work in a pinch, but they don't stick as firmly in sisal fiber.
Fewer Bounce-Outs
Thin wiring is the quiet hero here. Less metal between the segments means your darts have a better chance of staying put instead of clattering to the floor.
That matters most on tight doubles and the bull, where a bounce-out off a fat wire can wreck a leg. Less frustration, more finished games.
It Looks the Part
Accudart boards carry a professional look and feel that blends into a games room or pub without fuss. If you're curious how they stack up against tour-level gear, see what dartboards the professionals use.
- Tournament-spec construction delivers consistent, match-ready performance for players of all skill levels
- Self-healing sisal and a repositionable number ring help extend the board's playing life
- Ultra-thin wiring reduces bounce-outs so more darts land cleanly in the scoring area
Setting It Up Right
Hang the board so the bullseye sits 5 feet 8 inches from the floor. Mark your throw line 7 feet 9.25 inches from the board's face, and leave room for players to move comfortably.
How Long Will It Last?
With regular play, expect anywhere from a few years to over a decade. Usage frequency and care make the difference.
Rotate the board regularly so the wear spreads evenly instead of chewing up the 20 segment. It's a two-minute job that adds years.
Caring for Your Board
Clean it gently with a dry cloth — never water, which degrades sisal. Keep it away from excessive moisture and direct sunlight, and store it somewhere cool and dry.
Is It Beginner-Friendly?
Yes — Accudart boards suit players at every experience level. The standard, easy-to-read layout helps newcomers learn the game and build their skills on the same board they'll use for years.
Hang it at regulation height tonight, and let the first clean throw make the argument for you.
