SimpleSingle + Double
Strategy
A straightforward two-dart checkout: S1, D1. Hit the single to leave yourself on the double. If you miss D1 into S1, you're left on 1 — an odd number with no direct double finish. 3 is a common finishing score that appears in nearly every leg of 501 or 301.
Alternative Routes
The standard route S1 → D1 is the most commonly used combination for 3.
Pro Tip
D1 is positioned between D20 and D18 on the board. Practice this specific double to build confidence for match situations.
