Cornhole involves throwing a cornhole bag 30 feet away into a hole measuring only six inches. The backyard game has grown into a nationwide craze and more people are joining every week.
Cornhole is also called other names like bag toss, cornholing and soft horseshoe. It is a great tailgating game and can be played in any location like the beach or in sports bars. Any person of any age and background can join the fun. The game even becomes more exciting during football season with the bags designed and colored with the players’ favorite NFL teams.
It is quite challenging to throw the bag to the hole. The players may earn one or three points depending on how well they can toss the bag. It will take focus and accuracy to get the bag onto the target. The distance and small hole size make the game even more difficult. People have to consider the way they throw the bag. Some individuals will palm the cornhole bag while others like to use an underhand toss. Over time, you will also develop your own throwing style.
1. The Flat Throw. The approach requires you to hold the cornhole bag fully flag on your hand. Next, throw the bag and make sure it stays balanced throughout the throw. You might want to use an underhand style for the throw to gain more control and balance.
2. The One-Fold Throw. The technique is almost similar to the Flat Throw but you have to fold the bag in half first before tossing.
3. Sling Throw. The approach involves holding the cornhole bag at one corning then using your wrist in the movement as you toss.
