What is a Dual Core Dartboard?
A dual-core dartboard is quite self-explanatory in that it is a dartboard with two cores instead of one. The second core means more sisal fibers which not only prevent darts from bouncing out, but also give the board a much longer life span.
This is the core characteristic and key difference between it and its competitors, and you#ll find that it’s a feature only available on Winmau boards. You might find others that claim to be dual-core, but unless they are appropriately priced they are likely to be hyping up their product description as we’ve come across many fake ‘dual-core’ boards.

What’s The Difference Between Blade 4 And 5 Dual Core?
