This new collection features three standout models: the elite Blade 7-T Stage Edition, set to debut at the prestigious PDC Grand Slam of Darts; the robust Blade 7-T Championship, destined for all PDC Pro Tour events; and the advanced Blade 7, incorporating Gen 7 Tech and a Dual Core design.

Winmau Redefines Darts with the Blade 7 Series
Winmau, a name synonymous with quality in the world of darts, has officially launched its highly anticipated Blade 7 dartboard series. This release introduces a suite of boards engineered to elevate the game for both professional players and dedicated enthusiasts. Building on a legacy of innovation, the Blade 7 range is designed to offer unparalleled performance and longevity.
Introducing the Flagship Models: Precision Engineered for Champions
The new Blade 7 range features specialized boards tailored for the highest levels of competition:
- Blade 7-T Stage Edition: This is the pinnacle of dartboard engineering, boasting an advanced Triple Core construction. Designed for the biggest moments, it will make its grand debut at the upcoming PDC Grand Slam of Darts. The triple core technology aims to enhance dart retention, reduce bounce-outs, and extend the board’s lifespan under intense play by creating multiple layers of sisal fiber with varying densities.
- Blade 7-T Championship: Built for the rigors of professional circuit play, this board will be the standard for all PDC Pro Tour events. Its robust design ensures consistent performance and durability throughout demanding tournaments, providing players with a reliable surface for every match.
Advanced Technology for Every Player: The Blade 7 and Dual Core Editions
Beyond the professional tour boards, Winmau also introduces enhancements for a broader audience:
- Blade 7 with Gen 7 Tech: This standard Blade 7 board incorporates the latest Gen 7 Technology. While specific details of Gen 7 Tech are proprietary, it typically refers to improvements in wire design (e.g., thinner, sharper angles) and sisal compression to maximize scoring areas and minimize bounce-outs, ensuring a more consistent and forgiving playing surface.
- Blade 7 Dual Core: An evolution of previous designs, this board features a Dual Core system. This innovative layering of sisal fibers creates a denser outer playing surface for improved dart penetration and reduced bounce-outs, while a softer inner core absorbs impact, enhancing durability and feel, and reducing wear over time.
A New Era for Darts Boards
This launch marks Winmau’s first significant upgrade to its Blade series since 2021, underscoring their commitment to continuous improvement. The Blade 7 range is set to become an instant favorite, offering a tangible upgrade in quality and performance that players will undoubtedly appreciate. The use of these boards in major PDC events highlights their professional-grade quality and the trust placed in Winmau’s engineering.
The entire new Blade 7 range, including the standard Blade 7, the Dual Core edition, and the professional-grade 7-T Championship, is available now. Players can explore these new boards and experience the next generation of darts technology firsthand.
