Agree that the board is very poor.

However Mardle historically has been less than objective when it comes to commenting on Unicorn products.

Another case of machined points tearing it to pieces.

Yes. It is not the boards which are the primary issue, but rather the darts which are being used.

Have posted a screenshot of the board as requested earlier, and it is not good, but the grip on these points just rip the board to pieces.

This is even worse than deller leaving chalk all over the board, they never changed it after 5 legs.

Unicorn will be hoping that their own sponsored player will lose this match. He’s destroying that 2nd board too.

Does anyone know what points Kyle is using? Just to make sure I don’t buy them

Agree. Kyle's darts are the more destructive in relation to the board, than any other darts player.

Have you seen how his first dart can hang in the board by a baw hair, yet not be disturbed by another two darts right next to the first one.

Both have machined points. They didn't change the board after the break. Just pulled out the bits of sisal showing.
They showed a clip of the ref doing it.

Barneys are machined aswell aren't they?
Barneys are not doing that much damage. You can see the mark where every single dart Kyle has thrown. Look at the doubles or even single numbers he’s hitting

Kyle lost that 13th leg because of a lack of concentration. How the fuck does a professional darts player on 118 not know after a single 20, followed by a treble twenty that he is not on D19.

If the points are to blame then we’d see other manufacturers board rip up the same but we don’t!

He’s Australian so obviously not the brightest, spent his youth wrestling with kangaroos rather than going to school

It’s only unicorn boards we see in HD on tv.

Can’t really compare them to much.
