“Darts Scoring does Suffer with a Bounce Out.”

Darts Scoring and the Bounce Out

Darts scoring shouldn’t suffer because of bounce outs. Dart throws that strike the dartboard and bounce out will prevent you from scoring any points for your throw. This is super frustrating. Let’s explore how the engineering design of an electronic dartboard can make a difference and reduce score killing bounce outs.

Ultra-thin spiders can reduce bounce outs. The dart board spider as the name implies is a spiderweb design that forms the outline of the target segments. The thin frame profile offers more target surface. This allows your dart to hit a scoring hole more easily. It improves your darts scoring experience. A thinner spider is preferred as a means to reduce bounce outs.

This brings us to the target segments. Important aspects of these segments are thickness and the shape of the actual scoring holes. This time, you want the segments to be thicker to extend the life of your dartboard. You also want each scoring hole to have a smooth concave shape. It should trap your dart securely to prevent a bounce out. This design literally locks in your shot.

Dartboard Design

Darts scoring can be improved just by the design of the dartboard. Absolutely. For example, heavier darts can embed themselves deeper into the scoring hole and reduce the amount of bounce out throws. The darts tip is another feature that will have an impact on reducing bounce outs. A dart tip's soft and flexible design can have a reinforced inner core. This core provides strength and durability. As a result, your tips last longer and throw more accurately. Changing your tips and making sure they’re straight can also reduce bounce outs.

The Fat Cat dart board has the perfect spider design. Its target design gives you a competitive advantage over annoying bounce outs while enhancing your darts scoring.
