Strategy
A straightforward two-dart checkout: S3, D16. Hit the single to leave yourself on the double. If you miss D16 into S16, you're left on 16 — which is D8, keeping the pressure manageable. 35 is a common finishing score that appears in nearly every leg of 501 or 301.
Alternative Routes
The standard route S3 → D16 is the most commonly used combination for 35.
Pro Tip
Finishing on D16 is the gold standard in darts. If you miss into S16, you halve to D8. Miss D8 into S8? You're on D4. This cascading safety net is why top players always try to set up a D16 finish.
