It was a very hard board when I first got it, I think the sisal must be densely packed on them, but its a lot better now, had a few bounceouts at first though. Must be a hard thing to get right for the manufacturers though, too hard and a light thrower with light darts will have problems and not hard enough may mean quicker wearing?

Subject: Re: REVIEW - WINMAU BLADE4 Sat Jul 28, 2012 10:40 am
I've had my Blade 4 for about a month now. Absolutely love it!! It's the best board I've ever owned or played on. Winmau did a really great job on this one. No complaints at all so far. Back in March of this year I bought a new Unicorn World Pro from Wally. Was on discount for less then $30. Okay board but after a few days of use I started to get terrible glue residue on my fingers. Took that board back and bought the Blade 4. Wally has them online for $48 shipping to my local store for free.
*** edit- have not had 1 bounce out as of yet. Not 1
Still holding up great after a month of intense play time.
I opted for an eclipse pro at home but the clubs practice boards are blade 4's.personally I don't see a big difference in the 2...although, the blades seem to take a good battering better. When the time does come to change I will probs try the eclipse hd that was posted on here a while back. That won't be for ages yet tho.....
I give the Blade 4 the highest 10 outta 10 for me. Thought Bulls advantage was better but have 2 of them and they have Bulls eye problems with inner ring coming loose.

Had my Blade 4 for a while now , several months anyway and have to say it has stood up well , The bull is a little hard but it doesnt get as much use as it should , Its even stood up to my stepson and his mates playing on it so would recommend without hesitation
