This board is worth the money. I have not had any of the fibers pull out like on some other boards. The wires are triangular shaped and if you hit one, it slides your dart off to the side. The weight of the board screams quality manufacturing and after a lot of use, this board shows little to no wear as the holes seem to disappear. I play a lot of cricket and I do rotate my board on a regular basis. The only problem, and very minor at that, is the number ring was just slightly bent when I pulled it out of the box. I almost considered giving it 4 stars for that minor issue but decided against it because everything else is so expertly crafted.
