The TOR EVO is Target Darts’ update to its TOR board, released as part of the manufacturer’s September 2026 “Obsessed” launch. It keeps the same 215-MDG Madagascan sisal and Peak-Fix mounting as the original TOR, but thins the spider wire further and replaces the number ring with a new reversible rubber design.
It’s only just reached retailers, so there’s no hands-on verdict to give here. What follows is Target’s published specification, plus a look at how the board fits alongside the rest of their range.

How It’s Been Received
No SentimentMeter appears on this page for a simple reason: the numbers don’t exist yet. The TOR EVO launched in September 2026, and every Amazon and UK retailer listing we checked shows no customer reviews at all, with one still displaying “be the first to write a review”. Until that changes, the fairest thing we can do is set out what Target itself has published about the board.
The predecessor TOR built a reasonably strong early reputation for its rotating number ring and thin wiring, so the TOR EVO carries some inherited credibility even without reviews of its own. Whether the thinner wire and new rubber ring hold up as well over months of real use is something only time and owner feedback will confirm.
What the specs suggest
- Spider wire cut a further 25% thinner than the already-thin standard TOR
- 2XRING reversible rubber number ring effectively doubles the ring’s working life
- 36XTEN rotational system still spreads wear around the full number ring
- WDF approved and built to regulation dimensions
Points worth weighing up
- Costs around £30 more than the standard TOR for the wiring and ring upgrades
- No owner reviews to check yet, since it has only just gone on sale
- Target has not published exact bull dimensions, making paper comparisons against rivals harder
The Wiring and Number Ring Upgrades
The headline change from the standard TOR is the spider wire, which Target states is 25% thinner again on the TOR EVO. A thinner wire gives a dart less metal to deflect off around the doubles and trebles, the theory being fewer bounce-outs and a slightly larger effective scoring area.
The number ring is the other change. Where the standard TOR uses a single-sided ring, the TOR EVO’s 2XRING is rubber on both faces and can be flipped once one side wears out, on top of the existing 36XTEN system that rotates the whole ring ten times through 36-degree increments. Target markets the rubber as better at absorbing stray darts than a plastic ring, though that is the manufacturer’s own framing rather than an independently tested claim.
Why a reversible ring matters
A number ring takes constant impact from darts that miss the wire and land just outside the scoring segments. A plastic ring cracks or chips over time. A rubber ring absorbs more of that impact, and making it double-sided means you get a second full lifespan out of the same ring once you flip it, rather than replacing or living with a worn one.
Scoring Areas and Sisal
The playing surface is the same 215-MDG grade Madagascan sisal used on the standard TOR. Target describes the fibres as self-healing, meaning the surface closes back up after a dart is pulled, which is standard practice across sisal boards at this level rather than something unique to the TOR EVO.
Regulation dimensions are confirmed on Target’s own throw distance diagram for the board: a 2.37m oche distance, a 1.73m bull height, and a 2.93m diagonal throw distance, all matching standard WDF and PDC regulation for steel tip play.
What’s in the Box
- Target TOR EVO dartboard
- Wall fixing kit with Peak-Fix adjustable bolts
It is a lean box, matching the standard TOR rather than rivals that throw in a checkout chart or tape measure, but the fixing kit’s adjustable bolts make installation straightforward on an imperfect wall.
Who This Board Suits
The TOR EVO suits players who liked the idea of the original TOR’s rotating number ring and thin wiring but want the newer, further-refined version, and who are happy paying a premium over the standard model for it. It is WDF approved, so it carries genuine competition standing rather than being a home-only board.
Players who want the exact board used on the professional stage should look at the Winmau Blade X, the current official PDC tournament board. Budget-conscious buyers who don’t need the latest wire and ring upgrades should compare against the original Target TOR, which shares the same sisal and mounting system at a lower price.
The Consensus
Nobody has owned a TOR EVO long enough yet for a verdict built on real feedback, so this one rests on the spec sheet. That spec sheet describes a genuine refinement over the already well-regarded TOR: a thinner wire and a more durable, reversible number ring, on the same sisal and mounting system. Buy on the strength of that engineering for now, and treat the upgrades as promising rather than proven until owners have had a proper run with one.
How we compile this page
We don’t test every product ourselves. Instead we gather the manufacturer’s published specifications and weigh up the reception from owners and independent reviewers, then flag where they disagree so you can make up your own mind. Where a headline rating comes from manufacturer-hosted reviews, we say so, because those tend to skew positive.
