Most amateurs throw at the treble 20 until they reach 100. I think you should start looking at setup routes once you're under 300. Leave yourself on a 'nice' number for a finish. What's your strategy?

300? I'm just happy to be 300 after 12 darts!

@The Newbie, if you're on 241, hitting a T20 leaves 181. Still scoring. But if you're on 230, a T20 leaves 170—the 'big' finish. That's when you start mapping.

Treble 20 until I see a double is my motto!
