Target has spent the last decade building its name on player-endorsed darts, and the TOR applies that same engineering focus to the board itself. It is pitched as a professional-standard board for players who want serious construction without paying premium-tier prices.
The headline idea is the 36XTEN rotational number ring, an attempt to solve the oldest problem in dartboard ownership: the 20 and treble 20 wearing out long before the rest of the face. Rather than testing it ourselves, this page pulls together the manufacturer’s published specifications and the reception from owners and independent reviewers.
Key Specifications
The TOR is a single-model board built on 215-MDG grade Madagascan sisal with a rotating number ring as its defining feature.

- Typical price
- £59.95–£70
How It’s Been Received
Independent reviewers have been positive, praising the rotation system, the levelling feet, and how the sisal recovers after a dart is pulled. Because the TOR is a recent release, the pool of long-term ownership feedback is still building, so durability is best treated as promising rather than proven.
What Reviewers Say
One independent reviewer focused on the rotating ring and how the graphics hold up through a turn:
“the board still looks 'upright' and clean no matter how you rotate it.”
Another picked out the wiring as the standout for cutting bounce-outs:
“The ultra-thin spider wiring system minimizes bounce-outs, allowing for smoother gameplay and greater scoring potential.”
What owners consistently praise
- 36XTEN rotating ring spreads dart damage around the whole board rather than chewing up the 20 and treble 20
- Ultra-thin low-profile wiring keeps bounce-outs down around the doubles and trebles
- 215-MDG Madagascan sisal recovers well after darts are pulled
- Peak-Fix adjustable feet make it easy to mount level on an uneven wall
- Feels more premium than the price suggests, and it is WDF approved
Common criticisms
- A recent release, so there is little long-term durability feedback yet
- Some owners have reported minor sisal shedding when the board is fresh out of the box
- Target has not published exact bull dimensions, making paper comparisons against rivals harder
The 36XTEN Number Ring
The number ring is where the TOR does something different. The 36XTEN system lets you rotate the ring ten times, 36 degrees per turn, which spreads dart damage around the full circumference of the board over its lifetime rather than concentrating wear on the 20 and treble 20. The graphics are designed to be symmetrical, so the face looks the same after any rotation rather than showing an obviously worn segment next to fresh ones.
Why rotation matters more than it sounds
Most dartboards see wildly uneven wear because players aim for the same handful of numbers far more often than others. A standard board eventually develops a soft, chewed-up 20 while the rest of the face is barely touched. A rotating ring spreads that damage out, and because the TOR’s graphics stay symmetrical through every rotation, you do not end up with a board that visibly shows its rotation history.
The Wiring System
Target fits the TOR with an ultra-thin stainless steel wire system, described as 60% thinner than a traditional wire dartboard. The low-profile structure sits the wire close to the sisal, which reviewers link to fewer bounce-outs, since there is less metal for a dart to deflect off around the doubles and trebles.
Scoring Areas and Sisal
The playing surface is 215-MDG grade, 100% Madagascan sisal. Target says the fibres are premium-graded for self-healing, meaning the surface closes back up after a dart is pulled, and the face is sanded for a smooth finish that keeps the bold segment colouring sharp and easy to read. One reviewer who tested a board found it repaired well, with little visible damage on the black 20 segment and strong recovery around the bull.
Early buyer feedback has been positive overall, though a handful of owners mention minor sisal shedding when the board is fresh out of the box. It does not appear to be widespread, but it is worth knowing before you unbox one.
What’s in the Box
- Target TOR dartboard
- Wall fixing kit with Peak-Fix adjustable bolts
It is a lean box compared to rivals that throw in a checkout chart or tape measure, but the fixing kit is a step up from a basic bracket, and the adjustable bolts make installation straightforward on an imperfect wall.
Who This Board Suits
The TOR suits players who want a board that plays above its price without stepping up to tournament-tier money. The rotating number ring is a genuine practical benefit for anyone who practises often enough to wear a standard board unevenly, and the wiring and sisal both sit well above entry-level boards.
Players who want the exact board used on the professional stage should look at the Winmau Blade X, the current official PDC tournament board. For a mid-range alternative with a longer track record, the Unicorn Eclipse Pro 2 is worth comparing directly against the TOR on price and features.
The Consensus
Reviewers rate the TOR as a smart piece of engineering at a fair price. The rotating number ring solves a real long-term problem rather than adding a gimmick, the wiring is thin enough to make a difference to bounce-outs, and the sisal grade is a legitimate step above budget boards. Its WDF approval gives it competition standing that some rivals at this price lack.
The main caveat owners raise is age. It is a recent release, so there is no long track record yet, and the occasional report of early sisal shedding is worth keeping an eye on. Early signs point to a board that punches above its price.
How we compile this page
We don’t test every product ourselves. Instead we gather the manufacturer’s published specifications and weigh up the reception from owners and independent reviewers, then flag where they disagree so you can make up your own mind. Where a headline rating comes from manufacturer-hosted reviews, we say so, because those tend to skew positive.
