When you land on 87

87 is a classic two-dart finish. Throw T17 (51) to leave 36, then double 18 (36). You will often see 87 after a strong opening visit, so it pays to know the route by heart.

If you miss

Your finishing dart is D18 (36). Slip inside to the single 18 and you are left on 18 — finish on double 9. Miss outside the wire and you stay on 36 for your next dart, so you never lose the double.
