How to check out 66 to PDC standard: the recommended route, correct alternatives and plan B when a dart goes astray.

Recommended route

2 darts

Treble 10 · 30
Double 18 · 36

Why this route? The route ends on Double 18 — 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:

Double 13 · 26
Double 20 · 40
Double 17 · 34
Double 16 · 32
Double 15 · 30
Double 18 · 36

Yes. The recommended route is Treble 10, Double 18. 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.
