Bat weight on the website is a MUST.

Many thanks for the feedback. Bat weight - tricky one as to us that is secondary to bat pick up. Bat weight, bit like car weight, doesn't tell you about performance and feel, all GM bats made in our own factory in Nottingham, England are optimised for pick up and balanced power.
Our experience over many years with top pro players around the World is that shape, pick up are far more important than dead weight.
So - we may have to agree to disagree! Thank you for the feedback which is much appreciated to give us an opportunity to explain our approach.

I have only ever used 1 type of dart and they got discontinued. I contacted Kam at play with the best and I can honestly say best ever he found a set and the service and communication is far better than any others I have used highly recommend

It was the items I was looking for but…

It was the items I was looking for but I had to pay shipping and handling fees twice totaling $46.76 that’s the only problem I had.

Many thanks for your note - nobody likes shipping costs but getting a dartboard from the UK to the US, there's a price! Hope you enjoy the board and look forward to being of service to you in the future.

Customer support is, frankly, terrible like the products are

This has been an ongoing issue since before Christmas. We shelled out a not inconsiderable sum on an Eclipse Smartboard to try and have our own wee Flight Club in our games room.
Straight away the issues started, not detecting darts hitting the board.
Contacted this lot and had to take a video showing the problems to be told it was the darts fault as brass doesn’t take the magnetic charge. Fair enough, but thy glossed over the supplied darts also behaving erratically.
Bought two sets of more expensive tungsten darts and guess what? That’s right, still wasn’t detecting all of the hits, sometimes 1 out of 3 was working.
So contacted again, took ages to get a response and when I did a new board was being sent. Great thinks I, problem solved…

Took 3 weeks to arrive (I appreciate the holiday period in between) and when it arrives, it’s the wrong board. They sent the older (cheaper) version that doesn’t have USB C connectivity (one of the main reasons we went for the more expensive Eclipse board.

Emailed again to inform them and request a swap and yet again radio silence from them .

Next stop for me is Trading Standards as I basically have a product that is not fit for purpose and a company that couldn’t care less about their statutory obligations.

Only reason it’s not 1 star is they did send a board, albeit the wrong one.

But I would recommend people to believe the poor reviews of the Smartboards and not, like me, think it’s just hyperbole.

Edited: they have now contacted to say another board will be sent, benefit of doubt that it will be the correct one.

I appreciate that you have boards in commercial premises and 650m hits detected is an impressive stat, but how many throws? Sort of meaningless without the full data context. I can only document MY experience in your product which, so far, has been poor. Having to constantly say “hasn’t registered that dart” when people are playing is an annoyance too far for an expensive product.

Good morning and thank you very much for setting out your experience - nobody likes to write or read this, my personal apologies to you. I am investigating at this end and we will work with you to get this sorted. Smartboard is used in commercial environments around the World and has recorded some 655 million darts - it's a very good, robust product indeed.
