How about aim? Do you aim at the hole or the spot where you want to land the bag? Also, do you try to watch where your arm goes in your peripheral vision on the follow through? Thanks!
Thanks for the question Michael. Good questions. Depending on the situation I do both. If the lane is clear I always look to the hole. I pretty much expect to hit the same spot or close to Every time. Now if there is traffic on the board that will come in contact with my bag. I spot shoot. Basically trying to hit certain areas to get the result I am looking for. As far as my arm. I watch to see where I finish up on my follow through. That will help me make corrects when needed. Thanks again and keep the questions coming. SV
Hey Steve & Jenn, I'm just getting into cornhole and your channel has helped me a lot! I have trouble though getting bags to 'stick' on my board when I throw at 27' (I made the boards myself and coated with polyurethane). I put a spin on the bag, throw it level and throw it up with a decent arch but they just shoot right off.Any tips on how to improve the board or my throw? Thanks
If the foul bag ratio is inconsequentially proportionate to the fresh corn rate, what weight class of bag do you recommend? Big fan. Thanks for the content.
To my knowledge there has never been any data collected showing the amount of fouls verses the weight variances. Nor am I aware of any different weight classes. The only weight differences would be the weight tolerances allowed to manufacturers. The weights tolerances that manufacturers go by is 15.75 ounces to 16.25 ounces. That would be for corn and resin pellets. Even though corn is rarely used anymore in the production of Cornhole bags. Thanks for the question and I hope that answered your question.
I had to giggle. I think the same thing. How do they be consistent with following through across their body. Great video. I think they get their spin from that where I get my spin turning my wrist 90°before I release the bag.
If a bag hits the ground and comes to rest on the front edge of the board, and then the opponent's bag lands and rests on both the board and the bag touching the ground does it count as a point or is it considered a "foul bag."
You have your answer already but if a foul bag comes to rest against the board your best bet is to clear it. The official ACA rules for cornhole state, "The following are rule violations that must be spotted and called by a player or assigned judge. The penalty is to declare the bag a foul bag, which requires the bags to be removed from the court prior to resuming play. Any bag pitched when the player has made contact with or crossed over the foul line Any bag pitched when the player has started or stepped completely outside the pitcher’s box before the bag is released Any bag not delivered within the 20-second time limit A bag pitched from a different pitcher’s box than the first bag >>>Any bag that contacted the court or the ground before coming to rest on the board
That bag that hit the ground should be removed from the front of the board to eliminate this problem. In the event you throw a short bag we move it that way you don't run into this. But what we would do is move the bag on the ground its touching if the bag on the board falls off its not good.
I appreciate that your trying to help beginners become better players but criticizing thousands of professional and non-professional players who don’t follow your philosophies on the mechanics of approach and throwing doesn’t bring a sense of confidence to the viewer who is trying to learn but instead, makes you sound like you are, and your methods are the “be all end all” of how to throw a cornhole bag. Try concentrating on teaching basic throwing techniques for the beginner. There are basic fundamentals in how to throw a cornhole bag but there is no “wrong way” to throw a bag if their method allows them to throw consistently and accurately.
Hi Evan. My apologies if the video leaves you or anyone else less confident. I strongly encourage you to watch the video again and maybe slow it down a little bit. No one was criticized not Pro Players or Beginner Players in this video. What was mentioned was here are a couple of things that many Pro Players do consistently and a little self help tool that I use to help me. What else was stressed in the video was the importance of you the player being comfortable in the box. Watch a variety of consistent players and try different things to see what works best for you. Hope this was helpful Evan and thanks for watching our videos.

Might just be the board. Maybe sand that sum-bitch down with 1or2 thousand grit...nah-imsayin', partner?👍
Have you tried using stick and slick bags??? Also I would for sure trying throwing with a little more arch. What kind of bags are you using?
It was actually the boards. I switch to slick/stick bags and still had the problem. I sanded the gloss clear down the went over it with satin.

I ( Jenn) flick my wrist also while leaving my arm out. Steve does does! All he does is let the bag go.

I agree 100%. But Ryan Windsor sure does make that T-Rex arm work 🦖😊

He just said what works for him nothing about what’s right or wrong, just to try it and see if it helps you
