How to check out 2 to PDC standard: the recommended route, correct alternatives and plan B when a dart goes astray.

Recommended route

1 dart

Double 1 · 2

Why this route? The route follows the PDC standard: press the score down with trebles first, then leave a comfortable double. The order matters — throw the setup dart first and you still have options after a miss.

Correct alternatives

Besides the recommended route there is no other sensible three-dart route for 2.

Yes. The recommended route is Double 1. This page also lists correct alternatives in case other segments suit you better.

Most players set up double 16 (32 left) or tops (double 20, 40 left): both halve nicely after a narrow miss into the single bed. More important than the “perfect” double is practising the same favourite every time.
