Winmau Pro SFB Dartboard

I got my first dartboard, along with my first set of darts in 2009. It was a Winmau Pro SFB dartboard. I would say that it was a well-made dartboard. The sisal was compact and the sectors were even. The colors were vivid. I loved the thin metal clips that set the dartboard on the wall, they helped give the board a nice sound whenever a dart hit it. I turned the board around frequently so that the sectors would age evenly.

As I played, I noticed that I had more bounceouts than ever before. It's normal since the wires are not as thin as the wires on the professional dartboards.

Overall, I loved my well-used board.

Here are some photos of my Winmau Pro SFB Dartboard using my camera phone:

Here are two dart forums that I usually visit:

Unicorn Phil Taylor Professional 9000 90% Tungsten 26g Dart

In 2010, I went to Landmark Department Store (a local mall in the Philippines) and checked the Sports Equipment section to see if there was anything new in their darts lineup.



I was able to find a Unicorn Phil Taylor Professional 9000 90% Tungsten 26g dart set which was priced decently. Sad to say, Unicorn darts are too expensive here.



I bought two sets and opened one package, and tested the darts. They had the same grip and design as the Unicorn Phil Taylor World Champion darts, only with heavier weight and no Phil Taylor signature. The weight of the darts was more forgiving and felt just right for me.



The set includes the three barrels, two sets of standard flight, three sets of shafts and 8 flight protectors. Not bad.



Here are some photos of the dart set:

Happy darting.
