...LOVE these. It's the First time, after searching forever, that someone addressed how to fix my "nose down" issue. And I didn't realize the importance of getting enough "spin" .
I’m a new player, but I have very good accuracy from years of horseshoes and bowling. I could not figure out for the life of me how to throw a flat bag. This video was a HUUUGE help!! Thank you so much for Instant results!!
Great to hear! This is why we make this content, for feedback like this.
Let's go Cornhole Network. Best cornhole content on the internet by far!
My wife and I just started and we just subbed got signed up for HOA tournaments did not want to go thought it was gonna be boring boy was I wrong I am totally hooked so is my wife these videos are Lifesavers because our technique before watching this videos reminded me of somebody peeling a banana with one hand just didn’t get the whole flight of the bag thing after watching these videos great help God bless you
Great video with straightforward explanation and examples. Thank you!
Great advice , tips, also for thanks for details
Thanks for the tips!! I love the game but is new to playing. Can’t wait to try the new skills!! 😎😊👍🏾
Nice job Eric and Jodi! I suddenly have the tilted bag that travels left to right. Now I know not to be lazy 😂. In all seriousness, these are very helpful reminders!
Awesome Video
Great video
My town in Oklahoma is getting us seniors together for the senior Olympics. Our first meeting was Friday. I’ve bowled for almost 60 years. I understand follow through and being consistent. Figuring out the flat bag makes me very confident. Thanks, guys. I’m going for the gold!! Hopefully…..
How did ya get on?
I throw a little bit of a nose down bag and have been working really hard on trying to flatten it out it is very difficult for me
This was very helpful thanks guys I’ll may try this bc I’m trying to get my bag flatter without a wobble in the air
When you’re at address/the start, is your elbow pointed down or to the right a little? I know that it should be pointed down at the finish, but was curious how it should be on the b-swing
I needed this!
Glad to help. Nice job on your channel!
I feel attacked on this. Guilty of all 3!!! Lol
Great training video. I crush my backyard opponents but get killed in tournaments. I'm hoping this brings me to the next level.
Ditto
well done!
Thanks B3, great to see you back in the mix.
@@CornholeNetwork First time hearing the DJI mics and they sound really good. Got the Rode wireless II but I think these sound a lot better just from this vid
@@B3Cornhole I gotta be honest- I am blown away by the DJI mic system. It has instantly become my favorite piece of film gear.
@@CornholeNetwork crap now I have to get a set.

Wow this video is amazing. This is just what I needed thank you
Great to hear, thanks for watching!
I have had trouble throwing one the inside side all my bags are going to the right. I’m going to try these tips because I lose a lot of points when I throw on that side
I actually am just starting playing and I throw incorrectly by the videos standard. I pinch a corner and shake the beans into one side and toss it under handed. I bend my knees a lot and release it at about my shoulder and I am pretty good. I see all my friend use the technique in the video though. I will try using these techniques along with my own! 👊
Check out our other videos with the pros, it starts with the grip. It takes a lot of trial and error to get a flat bag, stick with it and you will be smoking your buddies in no time.
How do u not get tennis elbow doing outside tilt. Pinky up has hurt me
Do you rotate your hand or your arm more when you want to get that right to left bag movement? Or both at the same time?
Its a combination of both. The bottom line is you need your hand to finish in an over-rotated position where your pinky is higher than your thumb.
@@CornholeNetwork thanks for answering. I think part of my problem is that I bend my elbow on the backswing and bend it before the release on occasion too. I sometimes I end with my fingers over the top. Palm facing down
@@michaelminnie210 I know exactly what you mean and that is very common. The proper bag release is not intuitive and takes a lot of good reps to ingrain to muscle memory. If you are too focussed on outcome to soon your form will break down and leave you with that elbow out, sideways hand position release. Your brain needs to learn to trust that the palm up release works better.
I got a question, what can cause my throws going left majority of the time. I throw right handed, I have a perfect flat bag, but I've been having troubles with throwing every bag left across my body. Idk what I need to do to change, it's always one to left or 2 to the left and 1 off. I had it figured out for a Lil bit then it went back to old bad habit of going left. And I just can't get out of it
We have seen this often, the across the body miss. One thing we have seen work is to feel like your shoulders/chest stay square to the target as you release. If you reach toward the target too much and let your shoulders angle toward the target too much this across the body miss can become a problem. Try to square up your shoulders/chest to the target as you throw.
@Cornhole Network thank you I will try it out
would like to start a cornhole league here at home . how do i get it started? any help would be greatful
First step is download Scoreholio and subscribe to the package you need for throwing tournaments. Then, within the software, setup a test tournament. Get as familiar as you can with the tournament format you want to use ie blind draw, switcholio, fixed teams, round robin etc. Practice checking people in, keeping scores, understanding brackets, etc. The software will be your guide to directing your first tournament. Then invite some friends and throw your first tournament. You will learn a ton your first time and struggle with the learning curve, but it will be worth it. After that you will be on your way.
Thank you guys just used these tips and smoked my friend 21-0 💯
OK, got the consistent, flat bag with spin. How do I add the accuracy part back in as mentioned at the 1:48 mark??
Sounds like a recipe for the next episode. But in our understanding, once you have your mechanics of a flat bag locked in, you can focus on accuracy, which just means practice hitting your targets with this new technique. With enough reps you should find it.
What helps me, focus on aligning your release point with your line of sight of the whole. Kinda like lining up your front and rear sights with your target. I keep my elbows in and tight, and emphasize a straight motion as I throw. I’ve also really been experimenting with how the bag lands and how it reacts to hitting other bags and really focusing on changing flight angles and rotation speed. If it’s spinning fast it’ll usually hit and kick. Spinning slower it’ll almost absorb another bag and push around it. Where your bag lands, the angle it lands and the spin speed seem to be the 3 biggest factors. Long read, but im really fascinated in the physics aspect of the game.
If any one is decent with animation, let’s get together and make a physics video !
@@koycarley1787 Check out Anthony Ayon's Cornhole Science channel for some physics.
I watch a lot of cornhole videos and everyone always shows how to hold and release the bag but they never focus on the draw back. Can you please show how the wrist and the bag are positioned when you draw the arm back. I think that this is one of the most important parts of the throw because it sets everything up. If you show this in another video please go slow!
The backswing varies greatly between players. Like the golf swing, the backswing can vary quite a bit as long as the release is good. Check out the Cornhole Clinic with Brennon Ballard on our channel, he discusses his backswing in that one.
I have troubles with my flat bag spins over the hole and not hook in, I have natural spin on my bag. I'm consistent but have that one bag or 2 that I hit in same spot as others, but it just spin over the hole.
This sounds like a trajectory/speed issue. You want to throw each bag at a height that it will stop before it shoots off the back of the board. You could also try a slower bag, but with any bag you should practice trajectory control to stop your bag on the board either at or slightly behind the hole. Good luck!
@@CornholeNetwork okay thank you. I already throw carpet bags, so I just need work on trajectory, I can do that. I'll work on that today

What boards do you recommend?
Have a look at our Top Boards of 2022 video for a great list of boards for all budgets.
Just getting into this as my new neighbor competes. I’ve played just about every sport including bowling, disc golf, baseball, golf, soccer, football, hockey you name it… so competing is in my blood. My issue is I’m right handed but… I swing a hockey stick left handed, I throw a baseball right handed, throw a disc golf left handed, open up all doors and jars left handed, I write right handed. Naturally I want to throw a bag right handed but… playing baseball football my whole life you plant your left foot forward. I was told by my neighbor you plant your right foot forward when throwing right handed. It’s not natural. So I started throwing left handed with my left foot forward and I am a tad bit less accurate. I injured my shoulder years ago so my flexibility is limited in my right shoulder and getting my palm flat is impossible when throwing. I have major issues with an angled throw. Their bags land so flat when mine come In at an arch due to my shoulder injury. Sucks
I have something you can try that should sort you out. With the proper release you should put less strain on your shoulder because it happens much lower in the swing, but it all starts with the idea of not letting your hand/wrist hinge during the release. Imagine there is a straight board running down the top pf your forearm across your wrist and back of hand, holding all that in a line. Now you want to throw bags like that while smoothly rotating your forearm open to the target. If your wrist stays firm the bag will feel like it wants to go straight up, so you will need to release the bag lower in your swing to get it going toward the target, this is good. Keep practicing this until it become natural, holding the finish position to make sure your hand and wrist have not hinged (back of hand, wrist and forearms still in a straight line). At first this will feel very weird, but you should notice quickly that the bags will come out very flat. Soon you will start to notice when your wrist does break down leaving you with a sloppy inside tilted bag. Give it a shot and see what you think.
@@CornholeNetwork thanks for the reply. Definitely going to start practicing on the hand position, gripping the bag properly.
I’m an athlete and been trying to get a flat bag throw cause cornhole is big at my family events, but I just toss it and I either sink it or it sticks in the board 😂
Sounds like you have a good trajectory.
This game is hard lol
Keep practicing, it’ll come!
i got the flat bag. but the slide right over the hole and off the board
Trajectory control is essential regardless of what bag you are throwing. Try throwing a fast bag high enough that it stops before the hole. Once you can do that you can dial your trajectory to stop your bag wherever you want it.
Make your toss more of a rainbow
Got some viper Rs y’all wanna sell?
I used to be just like all the haters until I gave this game a good try and won 50 bucks from my coworker now I play it daily and am getting better and better it gets very competitive lmao
That's what we like to hear! Soon we gonna have to feature you in an episode.
what makes a pro, a pro?
Being accepted into the ACL as a professional. Have a look at this to learn more ua-cam.com/video/9XXG06SHvR8/v-deo.html
why do you have to spin it?
There are a few reasons: first so you can control what side on the bag lands on the board, second so the bag tracks up the board in a predictable way, and third so the bag flies through the air with the precision needed.
All the haters in the comments can’t even hit the board and they big mad about it
What’s with all the flat bagging? I grab a corner and toss it spinning end over end and do pretty well. Course we’re drinking and having fun, not whatever these nerds are talking about.
You would get annihilated by these flat baggers. They average around 10 points per frame. You average about 4.
🤤 ρгό𝔪σŞｍ
who came here because they heard Dana White talking about cornhole?
I am no pro by any means , however I feel like if you’re right handed and your bag is going off left every time, it might mean that your release is a split second to late. Try releasing the bag a second earlier. Just remember the follow through !! :)
Y’all are liars
How dare you.

When I tried for three whole days and it made my gameplay even worse
@@Romanking10484 Sounds like a skill issue, get good kid.
3 days isn’t long enough to see the improvement. 😂😂😂😂 muscle memory takes time doofus
@@Romanking10484when learning the flat bag everything is going to get worse… it’s not easy to learn
This was really not helpful
If this can’t help you you may want to try a different game.
I love it! Great tips
Very helpful if you apply and practice.
@@CornholeNetworkdamm😂
Idk what you are talking about I literally tried the 1st tip and immediately starting throwing a better bag. Very very helpful when you actually try what they are preaching in the video
This hurts look what America has become!!!
Are you kidding? Cornhole is the best thing to come out of America in decades! Now get your bag flattened out.
