Dynasty Emblem King Board

[brenthahn]

Anyone have any experience with this board, or even heard of it? A pub semi-near my local apparently has a bunch of them, and they're getting raves.

Shield your eyes from the dreadful website, but here's a LINK.

It's good to see they are made of hemp. One of the strongest, longest lasting materials there is. I'm not sure why the bull is black. I've never been a fan of a black bull. Also for that sort of price I'd go with something tried and tested like a Blade 4 or a Unicorn EP.

I don't know if they mean "cousin-of-marijuana" hemp, especially since I think the ad copy is a translation from Japanese. The usual dartboard sisal is made from a variety of agave, as are lots of kinds of rope. My grandad (a farmer) used to call it "sisal hemp."

But whatever it is, the guys at this pub are saying these boards are lasting longer than any they've ever seen.

First I have heard of it, will be interesting to try one but looking at the pics it looks a bit like the G2 to me? Could be made in same factory?

I've seen hemp used as a generic term for natural fiber rope as well.

They used these boards at the NWDS final and some of my buddies that were there said they were very nice.

It wouldn't surprise me if this is a blade 4 with different screen printing, The bull ring is the same shape, the border wires protrude past the double ring the same length, the spider is pressed the same depth, the outer bull ring looks the same and I think I seen blade 4's being mass produced by some company in china who were selling them under their own brand.
Probably why they are good boards.

Awesomely analytical! One thing that isn't Blade 4-ish, though, is the white areas. A Blade 4 is typically veined like chocolate cheesecake, but the Dynasty doesn't appear to be. Could have been Photoshopped, I suppose.

It is more $$ than a blade 4.

They have these at my home bar in league. I think they are a very nice board. Nice colors and nice spider. Feels much more firm than a blade4.

Yea I thought so to (veins), but it is very similar to the new blade 3 dc, maybe same system(no wrap around the biscuit) but without the dual sisal. finish looks like the bandit bulls as the white is very white, this could also be screen printed but hardness as said before seems to fit bandit/bulls

Not much more $ than the blade4 and it is cheaper than the dual core blade4

About $74 shipped to California (with the 5% discount for signing up on their mailing list) vs. $50 shipped for the Blade 4 from Ozone.

I know the B4 is cheaper, just saying it's not that far out of line. B4 DC is around $85
