Checkout 27 in darts

How to check out 27 to PDC standard: the recommended route, correct alternatives and plan B when a dart goes astray.

Recommended route

2 darts

11 · 11
Double 8 · 16

Why this route? The route ends on Double 8 — one of the most popular finishes, because it halves nicely after a narrow miss: hit the single instead of the double and you're left on another even number.

Correct alternatives

Every route is mathematically correct (last dart = double). Pick the one whose segments suit you best:

3 · 3
Double 12 · 24
Treble 1 · 3
Double 12 · 24
7 · 7
Double 10 · 20

Yes. The recommended route is 11, Double 8. 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.
