Whats your favourite double?

Post by D & B » Thu Nov 24, 2011 10:46 pm

As you should all know I have been playing darts now for a few months (PB 25 darts, 23/11/11), I am trying not to depend too much on the same double to finish on.

But I have found tops and D2 to be particulary favourable.

Whats yours?

Double 10 is my best friend. Play double in double out on a Monday night and it never lets me down in 3 darts to start off tbh. Nearly always come up short on tops in games, but generally find the 10 no probs.

when i first started playing i loved d15 bottom right perfect but obviously not practical, tops not good, 16s not good, i have to say after chucking for 20+ years my favourite is still that area and i'm with gazman, its 10s for me
Believe it or not I look forward to your posts. I admit I was having a bad day, don't we all sometimes?

Am not reliable on any, but 16 or 18 does me proud at times. Can't hit tops for shit.

With most doubles im usually there or there abouts, but d20 is a funny one. When faced with tops I either take the board light out or drop way short. Im generally supprised if one happens to go in (though obviously I act like I hit them for fun as I swagger to the board).

Always try to leave tops, but don't mind 16's or 8's.
One year I got a bike for my birthday. So I went peddling off down the road and knocked an old lady down.
'Can't you ring your bell?' She said. 'I can ring my bell,' I said 'But I can't ride my bike'

I tend to hit treble 12 a lot when aiming for T20, actually more often than treble 5.

Tops for me, followed very closely by 10's

Every leg, I try to leave Tops if at all possible

But to be honest, other than Double 2, I am quite comfortable with any Double, 14 being a particular favourite, shame it breaks down to 7's

If you are a Pub standard player, always leave 32 or 40, quite simply because they breakdown easier than any other double

16's, 8's, 4's, 2's, 1's
20's, 10's, 5's

Yeah 12's is another good shot to go for, although I do hate Double 6 sometimes :-)

Hit it last night with one dart though

Does this mean you hit some unintentionally during a leg :-)
