Why double 13 is an awkward finish
double 13 (26) is one of the less-favoured doubles to aim for. The problem is the miss: slip into the single 13 and you are left on an odd number, which you cannot halve — you have to throw a single first to bring it back to an even double. Good players avoid leaving 26 when a clean even number is on offer instead.
If you miss D13
Slip inside the wire to the single 13 and you are left on 13, an odd number you must split first — a single 1 leaves 12 (double 6). Miss outside the wire and you stay on 26.
Tips for hitting D13
- Aim just below the wire so a dart that drops still lands in the double, not above it in the single.
- Throw at the same pace as your scoring darts — don't "guide" the finish.
- Know your miss: a slipped D13 leaves 13, so you already know your next dart before you throw.
