Out of interest how do you know the different makers manufacture the boards in any different way to each other ?

What might be more interesting to know is where one manufacturers sisal comes from etc up to another

He won’t answer the question. I have tried politely but get ignored.

Fair play to unicorn for looking into ‘rejected darts’

Did unicorn/Chris look into specific players like smith and aspinall who at times have had darts fall out of the board rather than be rejected at point of impact with the board. If so what was the conclusion to those specific darts?
No, we don't have that data.
Are unicorn looking at changing the manufacturing process to deal with today’s machined points that have the HD 2 board looking like shit after sometimes even a best of 11 legs match.

It can’t be good publicity for the unicorn board, with the viewing audience seeing it cut up to feck and needing changed after every game on tv.
If you wear aggressively machined trousers, your Mercedes leather upholstery won't last long either.
My 3rd post now saying the same thing, Whitlock’s point are smooth, why do they wreck the board? If they are smooth then they should not pull the sisal out. Can you answer this please?

it's how he sharpens his points, I did it with mine once. they go in a bit deeper, zero bounce-outs but they are a bugger to pull out the board and bits come with them - just use the edge of a sharpening stone and draw it up/down the point at 45 degrees in opposing strokes - doesn't look much but fucks things up plenty

Finally a sensible answer, was it on unicorn boards that this happened to you?

Both tweets above deleted. Luckily for the players involved, who both clearly deleted then after getting a bollocking off the PDC, Pieter screencapped them...

Both complaining about too many bounce outs.
Both said Unicorn boards are the worst ever.

30 bounce outs in two matches is pretty much too.

But on the other hand it says a lot about focus/concentration when you count your bounce outs during a match.

If the boards are bad, they're bad.

Shouldn't happen, but the opponent has to deal with the same conditions.

I am disappointed because I thought someone had leaked info re the pdc and ladies darts and then deleted info.
