Tricks to your outs

Here’s a few helpful tricks to make your game easier

When you are left with a double dart sequence in your out round, you can play smart darts by keeping the double shot together. For example, if shooting a 130 out, a safe way would be to shoot Bull-Bull-D15. A 154 would be Bull-Bull-T18. And so on.
The exception to this rule is if you have a single number in the series - such as a 106. You would be best to shoot a Bull-6-Bull, which has a very limited chance of ‘busting’.

The next thing to think about, as you expand your strategy, is to start working on the numbers from 49 on down. This is where you can win or lose a match!
You should always take these numbers out the same way. This will build your confidence and develop your consistency.
A key point is to set up for an even number third dart with your first dart (remember that odd+odd=even). But, try to keep your shots in the same area of the board. For example, a 49 out would call for either a S19-D15 (bottom of the board) or S9-D20 (top of the board).
Some numbers don’t apply to the odd/even rule, such as a 35. It may be best to shoot a S16-S19; but, if you followed the rule, you’d hit a S17-S18.

Set up your out rounds while still in the ‘200 club’. At that distant point from an out, you can begin manipulating the score to fit your favorite darts. As you build your confidence, it’ll be easier to make those outs.

Try these ideas. They do work. Happy hunting!
