Strategy
A straightforward two-dart checkout: S1, D2. Hit the single to leave yourself on the double. If you miss D2 into S2, you're left on 2 — which is D1, keeping the pressure manageable. 5 is a common finishing score that appears in nearly every leg of 501 or 301.
Alternative Routes
The standard route S1 → D2 is the most commonly used combination for 5.
Pro Tip
D2 is positioned between D15 and D17 on the board. Practice this specific double to build confidence for match situations.
