MediumTreble + Double
Strategy
A two-dart checkout: T19, D20. Hit the treble first to set up the double. If your T19 lands in S19, you'll need 97 with 2 darts remaining. A miss sideways into the 3 or 7 segments changes the equation significantly. You'll encounter 97 frequently in competitive 501 and 301 play.
Alternative Routes
The standard route T19 → D20 is the most commonly used combination for 97.
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.
