Strategy
A two-dart checkout: T15, D8. Hit the treble first to set up the double. If your T15 lands in S15, you're left on 46 with 1 dart to go. A miss sideways into the 10 or 2 segments changes the equation significantly. You'll encounter 61 frequently in competitive 501 and 301 play.
Alternative Routes
The standard route T15 → D8 is the most commonly used combination for 61.
Pro Tip
D8 is part of the D16 halving chain and a well-practised 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.
