What is the easiest way of working out checkouts while playing darts?
Being able to calculate your checkout at any point in the game is key to being a great dart player. If you have to think too much about it you will break your rhythm and once that happens your chances of a clean finish are reduced dramatically.
However, the good news is that there are a number of ways that you can improve your finishing:
- Start from 50 and practice checking out in as few darts as possible. Every time you successfully finish add one to your score and try to check out on that. Try this with a mate to add the competitive element.
- Take a look at the top darts players favourite finishes.
- Play shorter games like 301, 201 or even 101 - you will find that the shorter games mean that the finsihes come around more quickly which adds to the pressure to learn your finishes.
- Volunteer to chalk at your local pub. Nothing helps you learn to checkout as fast as watching other skilled players finish. You will quickly find that you are able to anticipate the throws that the players make.
