Winmau Darts – Company, Pro Players & Dart Accessories at Diplomatgames

Winmau is one of the most traditional and well-known brands in the international darting world. The company boasts a history dating back to 1946 and is particularly renowned for its legendary Blade Series dartboards, high-quality darts, and collaborations with numerous world champions and international professional players.

At Diplomatgames, you'll find a wide selection from the world of Winmau – from Winmau steel darts and soft darts to Blade dartboards, flights, shafts, and Fusion systems, as well as lighting, surrounds, and other dart accessories.

Winmau – a dart brand with history since 1946

The history of Winmau began back in 1946.

The company was founded by former Sergeant Major Harry Kicks.

A particularly interesting story lies behind the brand's name.

Harry Kicks named the company after his wife, Winifred Maud.

From her name came:

Win + Mau = Winmau

However, Winmau is pronounced "Winmore".

What began as an unusual brand name evolved over decades into one of the most recognized names in international darts.

More than 80 years of experience in darts

Since its founding in 1946, Winmau has continuously evolved.

The brand combines traditional craftsmanship with modern manufacturing and technical innovations.

Winmau is particularly known today for its dartboards.

The Blade Series has developed into one of the company's most important product families and has been technically advanced for several generations.

Winmau and Nodor International

Winmau is now part of Nodor International Ltd.

Nodor International operates with brands such as Winmau and Red Dragon Darts.

This brings several significant names in the international dart industry under a common corporate group.

However, it is important for players and buyers to distinguish:

Winmau and Red Dragon are independent brands with their own product lines and player portfolios.

Therefore, on this Winmau page at Diplomatgames, players currently listed under Team Winmau by Winmau itself are considered.

Winmau – Official Equipment Partner of the PDC

A significant milestone in the company's recent history was its partnership with the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC).

In 2021, Winmau and the PDC agreed on a record-breaking partnership.

Winmau thus became the official equipment supplier of the PDC.

Winmau Blade dartboards are therefore featured on the biggest stages of professional PDC darts.

For a brand with a history since 1946, this partnership is a special combination of tradition and modern professional darts.

The Winmau Blade Revolution

Hardly any product is as closely associated with Winmau as the Blade Dartboard.

Winmau has continuously developed the Blade series for over two decades.

The idea behind Blade technology is, among other things, to make the wires or separation areas on the dartboard as thin as possible.

Less metal on the playing surface means larger usable scoring areas and can reduce the probability of bounce-outs.

Today, the Blade product world includes various models.

Winmau Blade 6

The Winmau Blade 6 is one of the most well-known modern steel dartboards.

It uses the sixth generation of Blade technology and is designed for players of various skill levels.

Winmau Blade 6 Dual Core

The Blade 6 Dual Core extends the classic Blade concept with a multi-layered construction.

This allows Winmau to offer different quality and feature levels within its most important dartboard series.

Winmau Blade 6 Triple Core

The Blade 6 Triple Core is one of Winmau's premium dartboards.

The board combines a triple-core sisal base with the sixth generation of Blade technology.

Special features include extremely thin, staple-free wiring, 60-degree deflection angles, and a non-glare number ring.

The triple-core construction relies on different sisal layers and a highly compressed layer with carbon fiber reinforced sisal.

Winmau Blade 360 Triple Core

With the Blade 360 Triple Core, Winmau has further expanded the Blade family.

This model is also part of the current premium dartboard assortment and is offered by Winmau as a dartboard of official PDC match quality.

Winmau Plasma Dartboard Light

In addition to dartboards, Winmau also develops lighting systems.

The Winmau Plasma Dartboard Light provides 360-degree illumination around the board.

Even lighting can reduce distracting shadows from darts and ensures better visibility of the entire board.

Winmau Wispa

With the Wispa Sound Reduction System, Winmau also addresses a problem that dart players, especially those in apartments, know well: the noise when darts hit the board.

This expands Winmau's product range to include items that are not directly part of the dart itself but aim to improve the entire dart setup.

Winmau Fusion

Winmau also develops modern systems in the flight and shaft sector.

Winmau Fusion combines flight and shaft into an integrated system.

The flights maintain a constant 90-degree angle.

Thus, Winmau offers not only classic flights and shafts but also a modern integrated flight-shaft system.

Team Winmau – the brand's players

An important component of the brand is its collaboration with professional dart players.

Winmau describes its team as a mix of legends of the sport and touring players who compete against the best.

The current official team is internationally positioned and includes players from Europe, North America, Australia, New Zealand, Africa, and Asia.
