The Photo's

Harrow's Matrix - Before Use
Harrow's Matrix - Click for a larger image 1.3 -1.4MBPicture showing a new Harrow’s Matrix board compared to the Unicorn Eclipse Pro. You will notice the two main  differences between these boards: the colour of the sisal and the colour of the wiring.

The Harrow’s board looks very impressive.

Harrow's Matrix - Click for a larger image 1.3 -1.4MBThis board looks so good you won’t want to spoil it by throwing a dart in it! Out of all three boards this looks the most impressive out of all three but how does it perform?

Harrow's Matrix - Click for a larger image 1.3 -1.4MBThe centre bull is the thinnest of all three boards. This construction in my opinion is the same has the old Riley and current DMI boards.

Harrow's Matrix - During Use
Harrow's Matrix - Click for a larger image 1.3 -1.4MBSometimes it is said a picture can paint a thousand words and in the case of the Harrow’s Matrix it can’t.

This picture was taken after one weeks play. The sisal is not holding up and it seems very dry. Even at this early stage some darters are experiencing their darts falling out! The white wire is being chipped but is holding up very well.

Harrow's Matrix - Click for a larger image 1.3 -1.4MBIf you look closely you will notice some of the horizontal blades are bowed. This is not down to wear and tear but down to the manufacturing of the board. This may not be an issue to many but this shouldn’t be the case.

Harrow's Matrix - Click for a larger image 1.3 -1.4MBThis picture illustrates the bowing of the blades at bit clearer. If you open the large photo version of this picture and pan across to the right you will clearly see the bowing of the blades.

The sisal on this board didn’t last. All the darts left holes in the board which normally close when other darts hit the board but not in this case. I like the wiring but bowed blades give it the thumbs down.

I had more negative comments about this board than any other which is a shame because I had high hopes for it.

Harrow's Matrix - Click for a larger image 1.3 -1.4MBTo add to it all the fixing of this board required a bit of time. A one off, but this board had no pilot hole for the centre hanging screw or stabilising points for additional fixings. I spent a bit of time to ensure I had the centre of the board before securing the screw. Also the back was damaged by a large chip in the board but this didn’t affect the boards performance is any way.
