Checkout Combinations
How to Deliver:
1. Introduce Key Checkouts
Teach common 2- and 3-dart finishes first (170, 167, 164, 161, 121, 96, 72, 41).
Group them into “Power Checkouts” (big 3-dart) and “Match-Savers” (50–70 range).
2. Route Logic Drill
For each checkout, explain why certain routes are preferred (e.g., 121 → T20, 11, Bull leaves a single dart at bull; alternative T17 route for players with better south-board accuracy).
3. Random Finish Game
Call out random numbers 40–170; player must throw using the correct route without thinking time.
4. Pressure Simulation
“If you miss the first dart, what’s your plan B?”
Get players to verbalise alternatives mid-round to reinforce thinking speed.
Coaching Tip:
Highlight that missing high is safer than missing low on many routes—this teaches error management under pressure.
