60
2-dart checkout
Strategy
Sixty is the most common checkout you'll face in darts. The standard route is S20, D20 — throw a single 20, then finish on tops. It's clean, simple, and the transition is minimal since both darts target the 20 segment. If your S20 lands perfectly, you just need to move up to the double ring. Some players prefer to go straight for D20 with their second dart rather than setting up. The 60 appears in 501 after heavy scoring: three 147-visits puts you exactly here. It also appears in 301 regularly. There's actually no treble route to 60 in two darts (T20 = 60, but that leaves 0 on a treble, not a double), making the single-double approach the only viable path.
Alternative Routes
Besides S20 → D20, alternative routes include: T20 → D-. The best choice depends on which area of the board you're most confident in.
Pro Tip
D20 (tops) is the most practiced double, but missing inside to S20 leaves you on 20 (D10) — still a clean single-dart finish. Train this double by focusing on the very edge of the board.
