Why aim for double 4
double 4 (8) is a comfortable, even finish: miss the double and you are left on 4, which halves cleanly to double 2. That makes it a friendly number to leave, even if it is less iconic than 32 or 40.
If you miss D4
Slip inside the wire to the single 4 and you are left on 4 — finish on double 2. Miss outside the wire and you stay on 8 for your next dart, so you never lose the double.
Tips for hitting D4
- 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 D4 leaves 4, so you already know your next dart before you throw.
