The micro-thin segment dividers dramatically reduce bounce-outs, while the NylonTough segments improve playability and durability.

The board plays very similar to a bar board at a fraction of the price. It is not without its issues, but those are outweighed by its benefits. Pros: -Excellent playablility -Multitude of games -X/O feature very nice and readable from a distance -Few bounce-outs -Sound effects announce number and score -Solid construction -Easy Installation Cons: -Darts that come with the board are junk. You must buy your own, unless you love chasing flights after each throw. At this price point, you probably own your own darts anyways. -Bulls-eye malfunction: About once every 5 games, you will hit very close to the bulls-eye on say a 15, and it will score as a bulls-eye. The "bounce out" button allows for correction. -Although the X/O display is lit, the numbers the X/O's correspond to just above it are not. So, from the throw line, you can barely see what numbers you need unless you memorize the X/O numbers. Basically before each throw you say I need 1 more of the second number from the left. -CPU Vs. mode is useless. The CPU throws dreadfully slow, and even in novice mode(easiest) typically throws will be triple 20, triple 17 and double bulls-eye. Unless you are near pro, just play by yourself. Even with the list of cons, this is still a 5 star board. I know it is expensive, but when you see that the playability is similar to a bar board at $3000-$4000, $250 seems like a steal. Just remember this is a recreational board, and it is not without minor issues. Thoroughly pleased with my purchase. Highly recommended!
