After my last experience I would not buy it again. Winmau blade 4 dual core all the way. If I got Another unicorn for free I would probably still not use it.

I've had a couple of Eclipse Pro's and will never get another one - I've got an Eclipse HD up at the moment and I would get another of those

I've owned 2 of them in recent years. I love the larger segments. It's an all around awesome board but what I don't like, and I've had problems with both boards I had, is that they leak some sort of sticky substance that gets all over the points of my darts then spreads from there. Fingertips then barrels. Makes it impossible to play since I use smooth darts. Might as well dip my hands in honey.
I'd try another one though if the price was cheap enough.

See, as we discussed, my segments are nearly identical on my b4 and eclipse pro. My eclipse is much more dense than my blade 4... non dual core. It makes a lot less thud noise, which is why I use it. That and I have an older blade 4 where the dyes smear all over and look like crap. I got sick of my hand being black after pulling my darts.
I do get the glue on the points, but it never migrates to the barrels.

I have and use one, it's the best board I've ever owned (not saying it's the best board, just all my old boards were cheap and nasty) so the people who don't like them, what is the go to board? Is it winmau? Or something else? Because I'll be due for a new board soon

G2 all the way, Puma Bandit is good but mine is a little soft,
Blade 4 dual core I had was not great but was I believe a sub standard board

I want a new board,, not another used one,,,that will show up well on WDA,,,
Same here ,,,from the reviews here,,, I have no doubt that the Gladiator II is the go to board,,, but I think with shipping to the U.S. your talking at least a $100.00 bill,,,,
Looking now at Ebay,, looks like a low price $55.95 including shipping,,,for a Blade 4,,Blade 4 dual core starts at $90.00 free shipping,,,,,
This site is offering a new Unicorn Eclipse Pro for $39.97 plus shipping of $8.99,,,,or if you get $50.00 or more shipping is free,,,,,
https://www.sportchalet.com/product/3002...AtgY8P8HAQ
The site looks questionable to me at best ,,, but they are setup to take PayPal,,,,
