The best

In effect, that is what I meant. The wires on the old boards were much thicker leading to a reduced target size and many more bounce-outs. The trebles on Unicorn boards DO appear bigger than those of other makes - What do other readers think?

Didn’t here waddle compliment Burnett once always for Taylor

agree the trebles were smaller !! every dart player knows that!!

As good as he was, Sid Waddell’s fandom of Taylor often bordered on sycophancy

Like a rave at the beginning

Not sure why this was billed as "Battle of the Champions" since Burnett was not the BDO champ in 1997...

those bigger wires only made things look smaller, when in reality all the smaller wires of today do is give you less bounceouts, hitting the bigger wire back then could actually drive a wayward dart into the treble whereas today it would miss the treble, there are pros and cons of thicker wires and the reduction of bounceouts is a better thing which leads to much cleaner scoring

Trebles are actually bigger now

one word ..... master...

Look how much smaller the trebles were then - much harder than today.

yes

the trebles are the same size the wires are thinner now, it only stops bounceouts but the target area is the same as round wires = the dart will deflect INTO the treble whereas the thin wires its either IN or OUT.

highjim it’s literally written on the unicorn packaging “increased scoring areas”. The HD2 board has a 14% increase in target area around the bullseye from the HD 1.

Flavius Constantius I know? Thinner wires means the target area is more exposed therefore bigger.

IV still got a dartboard in garage at my dad's and the only thing different is the wiring is thinner and it is set in to the board not layed on top. But the size of scoring segments are exactly the same size..
