I've posted a board I believe to be slightly older than your one, but it seems to be the same spider as yours. It is my only board, but the bounce outs are lethal, had to jump out the way a few times myself.
Nice board!

Had one just like that several years ago and I found it frustrating more than helpful. Like mentioned, between the bounceouts from hitting wires and frustration from getting SO close to the treble, but missing more than hitting them only saw me throwing at it for 15-20 minutes at a time before replacing it with an official board.
I thought it would help my game, but in the long run, it really didn't.

Interesting points guys...
I recently rehung mine, I certainly agree with the amount of bounce outs, it's insane but then the wires are huge...
This Board only helps my back... Picking darts off the floor is great back exercise and you get plenty of bounce outs.
I also used to think that if the dart was grazing the outside wire it would be inside the wire on the Official Board.. On today's boards the Trebles are huge, so yeah... it would be scoring the lipstick, granted it would just be in by the smallest of margins..
If you played on a board from the 80's... you'd be hitting the wires as the Tebble area was smaller in diameter.
