What is the dartboard that players will be using at the PDC World Darts Championship 2024? Here is everything you need to know about the Winmau Blade 6 Triple Core.
PDC World Darts Championship 2024 Dartboard Brand
In 2022, darts manufacturer Winmau took over from Unicorn as the PDC’s official dartboard supplier after agreeing a five-year sponsorship agreement with the organisation.
This meant that Winmau’s flagship board, the Blade 6 Triple Core Carbon, will be used at all PDC events until 2027 – including the World Championship and beyond.
Winmau have been a major player in the sport for some time now and are the primary sponsors for two of the best players in the world, Michael van Gerwen and Joe Cullen.
The Blade 6 Triple Core was launched in 2021, which features a three-part sisal base and sixth-generation Blade technology to provide the best playing experience possible.
The board has an anti-glare number ring and features the PDC logo on the surface. It is fitted with an easily adjustable rota-lock mounting system and is simple to hang on any wall.

According to Winmau, the board is the ‘most future driven, high-performance long-lasting dartboard in the world’ which combines ‘futuristic design and masterful longevity.’
Its lower compression at the outer core is said to reduce surface resistance and increase point penetration for fewer bounce-outs and higher scores.
The higher compression at the inner core increases resistance below the surface, which is supposed to absorb excess kinetic energy for improved durability.
The board is available at a price of £79.95 with most major retailers but can be often found cheaper with frequent discounts.
Unicorn were previously the biggest name in darts and had a 25-year-long partnership with the PDC, but decided to end it to focus on getting more darts out to the community and inspiring others to play the sport.
