i’ve only been playing a few months. switched to left leg forward and it improved my ppr a ton. i also have a flat bag which a lot of the advanced players are surprised by. but haven’t thought about my shoulders! will be focusing on that now. thank you!

Good tips! Throwing it consistently straight is easily my biggest issue. No matter how much I think I'm keeping my arm locked and straight, I'm still all over the place. I guess I'm going to have to videotape myself.

Love that you guys are in Wisconsin. I'm near Milwaukee and wis I could meet up to get a little more edge on my game. Struggling with airmails as well as straight push shots. Thanks for all of your helpful videos

Good Luck and enjoy the game!

I enjoy the videos you have put out. You go into some depth on things that are brushed over in other videos. One question I have is do you have an aiming mechanism in your throw? Or are you just aiming based on feel? for example, I'm been playing with the aiming using the V shape that my thumb and index finger make and with the way I release the bag, I can be pretty consistent if I feel like I point the V at my target. There are some shots that require great accuracy, so I'd be interested in both "Pops" and Blake's thoughts.

Thanks for the tips - Djo Life, the unofficial Pied Piper of Cornhole. I would say "If it's not straight you'll NEVER be great"

Thx Guy’s

So how would you stay square when you are throwing off side vs over the board?

[@jeremysimpson1935]

When throwing the off board side do u angle ur alignment slightly to make the angle better or stay straight and as I was cut the bag a little to make the angle better?

[@nikiarnold5991]

I would love some mental focuse tips please. I find myself struggling to stay focused in games when I miss a few shots it really gets into my head and I can't seem to find a way to quick reset. This causes a snowball effect for me. Any advice on how to remove the negative/frustration headspace and bounce back from some bad throws? Thank you and I've really been enjoying the content and learning from you both.

[@northernwisconsincornhole1584]

Thank You Niki....Blake and I talked this weekend about this subject. Look for a video about Focus and the Mental Approach coming soon.

Nice video guys🔥🦾

Bags. In Wisconsin, we call it ... Bags 😉

[@christopher2808]

Thanks throwing straight is my biggest problem , especially the more fatigued I get.

[@coopmuzzy75]

Seems like I play great when I'm not thinking. If I'm nervous and "trying", everything feels unnatural and I miss left and right.

[@northernwisconsincornhole1584]

If a player can get to the point where the throw is "simple" and doesn't require much thinking, then you should be on your way :)

[@mccluremetalworks4214]

Looks odd both of you have your opposite leg forward from your throwing arm,is there a reason,im a right handed player,my right leg is forward
