Cornhole season’s now in full swing and everyone’s getting into the game.  From bars and pubs to backyard cookouts and vacation spots, Cornhole is becoming one of the country’s favorite pastimes.  This time, we’re going to briefly go over some of the basic approaches to tossing that corn-filled bag and getting a score. 

The Standard Toss

This toss is the form that most Cornhole players use and for good reason.  The player holds the bag loosely in an underhand grip, stepping into the shot.  Your tossing arms moves from a position parallel to your leg to your forearm being aligned with the ground.  The bag moves in a medium arc and lands on the board with little sliding.

The Overhand Toss

The overhand toss is a more difficult shot but can reap great rewards for the right player.  The form is very similar to a basketball shot, with the bicep parallel to the ground and the forearm at a 45-degree angle to the bicep.  Keep the bag firmly gripped in your hand until the release.  The arms extends up and forward, the bag leaving the hand with a gentle flick of the wrist.  This is a tougher shot to master, but many who have figured this out have an easier time scoring Cornholes (3 pts.)
