Everything About Traditional Sisal Dartboards
Traditional sisal dartboards are the preferred choice of professional players and darts enthusiasts. Discover our complete guide to choosing the perfect dartboard.
What is a Traditional Dartboard?
A traditional dartboard is made from compressed sisal fibers, a natural material that self-heals after dart removal. This type of dartboard is used in official competitions and offers exceptional durability. The best dartboards can last several years with proper maintenance.
How to Choose Your Traditional Dartboard?
To choose the right dartboard, consider the diameter (typically 17.75" for regulation dartboards), wire type (round wire or razor wire), sisal density and staple-free construction. Brands like Winmau, Unicorn and Target offer professional quality models.
Maintenance and Lifespan
To maximize your dartboard lifespan, perform regular rotation of the number 20 to a less used area. Maintain ambient humidity between 40-60% and avoid direct sunlight exposure. A good traditional dartboard can withstand over 10,000 throws before showing wear signs.

Sign Up FreeHow We Review Dartboards
Every dartboard we review goes through a reproducible testing protocol. Because traditional and electronic dartboards work very differently, we use a dedicated set of criteria for each type and rate every criterion on a scale from 1 to 10.
Traditional Dartboard Criteria
Sisal dartboards are tested with steel tip darts over extended sessions. We focus on the physical playing surface and build quality.
Durability
Sisal and wiring resistance over time after thousands of impacts. A board that holds up after sustained play scores higher.
Bounce-out
Frequency of dart bounce-outs. Thin wiring and staple-free construction reduce bounce-outs and score better.
Perceived quality
Sisal density, surface evenness and print quality. How the board feels and looks when new and after extended use.
Finish
Wiring regularity, ring finish and overall assembly quality. Consistent craftsmanship earns a higher score.
Visual comfort
Segment readability and colour contrast. A well-designed board reduces eye strain during long sessions.
Each criterion is scored from 1 to 10 and combined into an overall score for that board type. A high score on a premium model is not guaranteed — we rate relative to the price range, so a mid-range board can outscore a top-tier one if it delivers better value for money.
