Strategy
A two-dart checkout: T17, D18. Hit the treble first to set up the double. If your T17 lands in S17, you're left on 70 with 1 dart to go. A miss sideways into the 2 or 3 segments changes the equation significantly. You'll encounter 87 frequently in competitive 501 and 301 play.
Alternative Routes
The standard route T17 → D18 is the most commonly used combination for 87.
Pro Tip
D18 is positioned between D1 and D4 on the board. Practice this specific double to build confidence for match situations.
