When you land on 55

55 is a classic two-dart finish. Throw 15 (15) to leave 40, then double 20 (40). You will often see 55 after a strong opening visit, so it pays to know the route by heart.

If you miss

Your finishing dart is D20 (40). Slip inside to the single 20 and you are left on 20 — finish on double 10. Miss outside the wire and you stay on 40 for your next dart, so you never lose the double.
