Sisal bristle dartboard (regulation)Sisal boards self-heal around dart holes; paper boards don't. Winmau Blade and Shot are the respected mid-range options.
Steel tip darts (22–26g)Most players land between 22g and 26g. Start mid-range (24g) and adjust from there. Avoid brass barrels — tungsten holds its shape.
Dartboard cabinetA cabinet hides the board between sessions and protects the wall. Pairs best with sisal boards.
Dartboard surround / catch ringA foam surround catches deflected darts and protects walls. A must-have for home setups.
