Customer Reviews

Excellent Recreational Board Near Bar Quality
General:

Overall this is an excellent board, and I believe an excellent value, even at this price. The board plays very similar to a bar board at a fraction of the price. It is not without its issues, but those are outweighed by its benefits.

Pros:

-Excellent playablility
-Multitude of games
-X/O feature very nice and readable from a distance
-Few bounce-outs
-Sound effects announce number and score
-Solid construction
-Easy Installation

Cons:

-Darts that come with the board are junk. You must buy your own, unless you love chasing flights after each throw. At this price point, you probably own your own darts anyways.
-Bulls-eye malfunction: About once every 5 games, you will hit very close to the bulls-eye on say a 15, and it will score as a bulls-eye. The "bounce out" button allows for correction.
-Although the X/O display is lit, the numbers the X/O's correspond to just above it are not. So, from the throw line, you can barely see what numbers you need unless you memorize the X/O numbers. Basically before each throw you say I need 1 more of the second number from the left.
-CPU Vs. mode is useless. The CPU throws dreadfully slow, and even in novice mode(easiest) typically throws will be triple 20, triple 17 and double bulls-eye. Unless you are near pro, just play by yourself.

Even with the list of cons, this is still a 5 star board. I know it is expensive, but when you see that the playability is similar to a bar board at $3000-$4000, $250 seems like a steal. Just remember this is a recreational board, and it is not without minor issues.

Thoroughly pleased with my purchase. Highly recommended!

excellent electronic board, love it
have had this board for a few days now (playing solo cricket). i love it. a few words of caution, the measurements for screw alignment, as stated in pamphlet, was incorrect. please measure the back of the board for correct measurements concerning distance for screw placement. once screws were placed properly, bulls eye measurements were incorrect by 1/2" (low). one great plus, the heckler can be turned off. quite annoying. i do enjoy the fact that the board does let the shooter know which number was tagged/missed/closed, but, on the con side, it does not register missed hits outside the ring (time to cheat and throw again!?). just remember to hit next player (which is announced). i gave 5 stars for the simple reason, the board is actually great and worth every penny. ENJOY!!

Very happy with purchase but wish for more
I like this dart board very much. Having everything automated is so nice and allows me to visit with my friends instead of scoring. The price was a little high. The talking can be annoying. I like that it reveals what was hit. However, adding "hit" or "miss" adds to much talking. It's like having someone talk when your trying to putt. I throw darts fast enough that it's talking as I throw because it says too much. Just say the point value of what I hit...please.
