Are pdc dart boards and bdo dart boards different?

Answer 1

Yes, the PDC use the Unicorn Eclipse Pro dart board, it has razor thin wires so it increases the size of doubles and trebles, but only marginally. The BDO use the Winmau Blade III, it has thicker wires, than the Unicorn, but it barely affects scoring.



My brand new Blade4 was delivered this week... AWESOME!

Although colors and wire thicknesses and shapes may vary somewhat among the PROFESSIONAL DARTS CORPORATION, the BRITISH DARTS ORGANISATION and the AMERICAN DARTS ORGANIZATION, certain standards must be maintained:

• The inner diameter of the inner bull = ½".
• The inner diameter of the outer bull = 1¼".
• The inner width of the treble and double rings = 5/16".
• From the outer edge of the outer treble wire to the center of the bull = 4¼".
• From the outer edge of the outer double wire to the center of the bull = 6 3/4".
• The maximum wire thickness = 16 SWG (64 mil).
• The overall dartboard diameter = 18".
• The 20 is always the darker of the two wedge colors.
