The Winmau Pro SFB is a professional dartboard constructed with round wiring, providing a classic look and an even distribution of the segments. It is made from densely packed sisal fibres that contribute to long durability and a surface that closes around the dart after each throw.

The Winmau Pro SFB can be used with all types of steel-tip darts and is suitable for both experienced players and beginners who want a solid and reliable dartboard for practice or competition.
