| Let's say you shell out good money for a new dartboard. Doesn't matter what kind, Blade 4, Eclipse Pro, Target, Nodor, etc... How long do you think it should last if you play on it every single day? Keep in mind you should be rotating it frequently for prolonged life. If you play at least an hour every day or so what's the proper amount of time before replacement? |

| I voted one year because I shoot a lot at bulls and can't rotate that. I play about 2 hours a day and going on a year with the blade 4. Bull is starting to get roughed up |

| 1 1/2 years, of course the use is big factor. My Blade 4 being outside has held up remarkably well considering. |

| how long is a piece of string?
no idea depends how much it is used and also how hard you throw the weight of darts and type of points.
If some of the pros practice 8 hours a day I would imagine they get through a lot of boards.
But my Bulls Advantage 2 has had about 30 - 45 mins a day if I add up all its play time and has lasted over 2 years.
So going by your requirements I would expect it to last at the very least a year. |

| I voted for a year because thats how long I had my last one up. Could have probably lasted longer but got a new Blade 4 for xmas. Like grip said the points and weight make a difference, my mate had his blade 4 and it was holding up well after 10 months but he has changed his points and their ripping the board up alot more than before. |

| I voted for 1 year. I get a new board every xmas and put it up on new years day. I have been in this routine for about 15 years. I rotate the board every Sunday and play between 1-2 every day, sometimes more. I get to September every year and think I could do with a new board but I hold out to new years because the difference is probably only a few extra bounceouts a day. Not a big deal when your averaging 1 treble a week |

| The 1st thing to ALWAYS go is the bull. I would think they could come out with a board that has a replaceable bull? |

| that would be good i have put good boards in the bin just because the bull is dead.you think the could have the middle that could screw in and out but would they want that they make more money when you have to buy a new one. |

| The Blade 4 by far my favourite board after 7 months is still holding well i rekon it just depends on if you use grip points as that makes a mess ony board |

| The boards should last at least 1 year. I throw 20-22 grm darts with storm points. My t-20 is already starting to rip apart on my brand new eclipse that I have had for a week, I try to rotate it once a week, but since it is Unicorn I have to rotate once a day almost :P I practice between 3-8 hours a day (And still no pro :P hahahaha ) |

| This question is easy. A new board should last one game. After which point it is a used board. |
