Make finishing a skill, not a guess.
Checkout practice is about seeing a route early, protecting the next dart and getting comfortable on the doubles you actually leave in matches.
OPEN CHECKOUT CALCULATORLearn common two and three dart finishes
Start with finishes you see constantly: 40, 32, 36, 24, 20 and 16, then build into two-dart combinations such as 60, 64 and 72. Repetition makes the route decision automatic under pressure.
Practice the setup dart as well as the double
A checkout is often won by the dart before the double. Work on leaving a preferred finish rather than throwing at a target that can leave an awkward number after a miss.
Use small pressure sets
Instead of throwing endless doubles, give yourself a target such as three attempts to finish 40, then move on. Keeping a consequence to each mini-set makes the session feel more like a leg.
Track what you actually miss
If one double repeatedly costs legs, make it part of the next session. Dartava training and player history are designed to connect practice with the wider match record rather than keeping drills isolated.
Common questions
What checkout should a beginner practise first?
Doubles 20, 16, 10 and 8 are useful starting points because they appear often and give simple halving routes after misses.
Should I memorise every checkout from 170?
Not at first. Learn common finishes and the logic of leaving good doubles. Route knowledge grows much faster when it is tied to real match situations.
Can I use Dartava without signing up to check a finish?
Yes. Dartava has a free checkout calculator that works without an account.
