130“Baby Fish”
3-dart checkout
Strategy
A high-pressure checkout. Hit T20, T18, D8 in sequence. Focus on the trebles first — if you miss, you may still leave yourself a workable finish. If your T20 lands in S20, you'll need 130 with 3 darts remaining. A miss sideways into the 5 or 1 segments changes the equation significantly. If your T18 lands in S18, you'll need 70 with 2 darts remaining. A miss sideways into the 1 or 4 segments changes the equation significantly. You'll encounter 130 frequently in competitive 501 and 301 play.
Alternative Routes
Besides T20 → T18 → D8, alternative routes include: T20 → T10 → D20. The best choice depends on which area of the board you're most confident in.
Pro Tip
D8 is part of the D16 halving chain and a well-practiced double for most players. Missing into S8 leaves D4, keeping you in the halving sequence. It's located on the left side of the board.
