Gary Anderson has hit out at the dartboards used by the PDC in the World Cup of Darts as the two-time world champion furiously labelled them ‘absolutely rank’
Two-time world darts champion Gary Anderson has described the dartboards used at PDC events as “absolutely rank”.
Manufacturer Winmau continued a long association with the PDC in January when agreeing a new 10-year extension, marking the announcement that the new Blade X dartboard would be used on the main stage.
However, following Scotland’s 8-0 demolition of Norway in the last 16 of the World Cup of Darts on Saturday, Anderson did not hold back when asked why he reverted back to black points on his darts compared to the previous golden variation.

The darts go in, they’re going in straight. I had to go to black points just to get a bit of an angle on the points. It’s supposed to (help), but they’re still going in a bit straight.
“We’ve been at it for months. We’ve been talking about it. Not a player on the circuit is happy with these boards and nothing is getting done about it, so that’s why I’ve gone to the black points.”
I’ve had to because the boards are absolutely rank,” the world number 11 said. “They are the worst dartboards ever. Don’t quote me on it, you ask anyone on the circuit that’s playing, even ask the PDC, even ask that manufacturer, they will tell you the boards are absolutely shocking
