SmartDartCheckout 62 in darts
How to check out 62 to PDC standard: the recommended route, correct alternatives and plan B when a dart goes astray.
Recommended route
2 darts
Why this route? The route ends on Double 16 — 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:
After the first dart at Treble 10
The recommended route on 62 starts with Treble 10. What is left decides whether the visit still works — here are all three cases.
Treble 10 lands
32 remains — finishable with one dart at Double 16.
Only 10 instead of Treble 10
52 remains — finishable with 2 darts via 12, Double 20.
The dart misses completely
62 remains — finishable with 2 darts via Treble 10, Double 16.

Can 62 be checked out with three darts?
Yes. The recommended route is Treble 10, Double 16. This page also lists correct alternatives in case other segments suit you better.
Which double should beginners aim for?
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.
