Strategy
A two-dart checkout: T13, D20. Hit the treble first to set up the double. If your T13 lands in S13, you're left on 66 with 1 dart to go. A miss sideways into the 4 or 6 segments changes the equation significantly. You'll encounter 79 frequently in competitive 501 and 301 play.
Alternative Routes
The standard route T13 → D20 is the most commonly used combination for 79.
Pro Tip
D20 (tops) is the most practised 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.
