Product Information
Full details
The Winmau Blade X Oche Line is designed for dart players of all levels who want to standardize their practice environment and improve throwing consistency. By providing a clear, professional-grade visual and physical marker for the throwing distance, it helps players develop muscle memory and a reliable setup for every shot. While it is an excellent tool for tournament-standard practice, users should ensure their floor surface is clean and smooth before application to guarantee long-term adhesion.

FAQs
What is the official throwing distance?
For steel-tip darts, the official throwing distance from the face of the board to the front of the oche is 7 feet, 9.25 inches.
Can I use this on carpet?
This product is primarily designed for hard, smooth floor surfaces like wood, laminate, or tile. It will not adhere well to deep-pile carpet.
Will this leave residue on my floor?
While it is designed to stick firmly, long-term use can sometimes leave minor adhesive residue, which can usually be removed with a standard adhesive remover or rubbing alcohol.
Is the line permanent?
It is designed for durability, but it is not intended to be a permanent structural installation; it can be removed if necessary.
Does it come with instructions?
The product is designed for simple, intuitive installation, though standard measurement tools are required to ensure the distance is correct for your specific board setup.
Troubleshooting
The edge of the line is peeling up.
Ensure the floor was cleaned of all dust and grease before application. If it continues to peel, you may need to use a double-sided tape or adhesive strip for extra reinforcement.
The line is difficult to align straight.
Use a long level or a chalk line as a guide before pressing the adhesive side down completely to ensure a perfectly perpendicular line to the board.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the Winmau Blade X Oche Line, first measure the correct distance from the face of your dartboard to the floor (standard steel-tip distance is 7 feet, 9.25 inches). Clean the floor area thoroughly to remove dust, oil, or debris, as these will prevent the adhesive from bonding correctly. Peel the backing and apply the line firmly, pressing out any air bubbles from the center outward. For care, simply wipe with a damp cloth if it becomes dusty; avoid using harsh chemicals that could degrade the adhesive or surface print.
