How to Throw a Flat Cornhole Bag // Cornhole 101 - Episode 2

[@elh3fe88]

I know it's been out for a while but I've watched a dozen other video and this one was by far the most helpful and well-explained. Thanks alot

[@lennyteske1864]

I've watched probably 20 different vids on how to flatten out my bag. My front end always dipped way down. You explained it the best and im getting way better!!! Thank you

[@Lgbiagio]

Me too! Thanks for your video

[@iBuff_]

I always love "blocking and tackling" while teaching. Thanks for addressing the fundamentals.

[@CornholeBagReviews]

Blocking and tackling haha I love it

[@nickgf5904]

Yo. That was a fun video and you explained just one topic. Thanks for not trying to do to much in one video.

[@doglover19591]

Well, almost 64 I'm taking the plunge. I ordered 2 boards, because I will need them :p. I played this only once at my neighbors. Good heavens, I was the "keystone cops" trying to even hit the board. I'd never seen it before. The acupuncturist said I'm getting the "old lady curved upper back". I thought, I watch this every chance I get. Looked to me like this will exercise the muscles I need to. I don't want a hunched upper back 😒. They come next Tuesday. Yay, just when triple digits are returning with a fury. So older people. Take the leap if you're in my shoes. And Thank You for this video! Absolutely beginner 🤗

[@TRNSL8]

Thanks for these tips. I just started to play Cornhole on July 4th and I'm hooked! I can't wait to unleash the fury on my friends.

My wife and I signed up for a cornhole competition in our Hoa complex I wasn’t really excited about it first oh my gosh I can’t stop playing now and now I’m watching the proper way to do it it will even help our technique this is amazing thanks for the video

[@thomasbaudry1034]

Great video! Thank you so much for showing the fingers position and showing the tip in action at the end. Greetings from France! :D

[@Dspence-17]

This was a huge help in getting my bag flatter.

[@michaelminnie8925]

The tip about the bag nose diving is a good one. I’ve been noticing my bag doing that too and will try adjusting the wrist a little.

[@CornholeBagReviews]

Glad it helped!

[@smatlanta1]

Me too! I've looked at a million videos to find how to fix that and FINALLY this one gave the "secret" answer :)

[@bryanherlihy]

Great video with in depth explanation of simple techniques that can make a huge difference. Thnks!

[@davidhiggins8004]

Good job man. Keep it up. Would like more videos like these to help us newer people out. Thanks

[@CornholeBagReviews]

I got some more planned for grips, shots, stances, etc. They take a little longer to film and edit but they’ll get there. Thanks!

[@beaveittoleaver2327]

This is a VERY good tutorial. This info helped me a bunch bro, thank you! And thanks for not trying to sell me bags 🙄

[@CornholeBagReviews]

Haha glad you enjoyed it

[@vincentdesantis6555]

Excellent, actionable and clear advice. Thank you for being awesome! Incredibly helpful.

[@CornholeBagReviews]

Appreciate it man!

[@MikeWh0]

Thanks for explaining 🤝

[@pottawatomi2]

I like a reverse spin grip. Grabs the board better than no spin!

[@ishmaelwilliams304]

Thanks for the info! I just bought game from Walmart because it looks like fun. I needed some tips b4 I learn the wrong way. Now to go back out to test my new skills!! 😎👍🏾😊

[@jessefranks9784]

Great job Eddie!

I love my Typhoon bags! Fast and slow when you need it.

Thank you so much for this!!

Thank you

[@chachee15]

My bag is really floppy and im having trouble with the butterfly grip. The grip that you are showing is my normal grip but its hard to throw with a floppy bag

[@michaelmiller7927]

Great video

[@duanelondon6152]

When you comin back to content bro

[@mitch2486]

Nice

[@mikemullinix2698]

I just found this video, it's the most helpful I've found, but I can't seem to get enough oomf on it to get it close to the board, I'm sure it's something in doing wrong, but idk what

[@TheJayMoses]

Nice video. Thanks!

[@jremedy7053]

I just got a new set of Backyard Hero boards that came with two sided bags. I'm not a fan because they seem loose and cannot get a good handle. It also seems there's a chalk bag or something, but it's messy and I can't stand it. Have you heard of bags with chalk in them?

[@CornholeBagReviews]

I believe that’s real corn, leaves a powder as the bags get thrown around

[@jremedy7053]

@@CornholeBagReviews I ran them through the laundry out of disparity, I think corn would've cooked off and been mushy or dried into a brick. Even after they still emit a chalky powder. Almost feels like there's a separate smaller chalk bag sewn in. Gonna order some different bags eventually but in the meantime I think I'm reverting back to my old bags where both sides are the same. Thanks for your reply, even after googling the Backyard Hero bags I couldn't find anything about the chalk.

[@preston3114]

Could you recommend me a bag, I regularly play in 80% humidity and my typhoons slow side hits the board and doesn't move.

[@CornholeBagReviews]

My go to is Costello’s in sticky conditions. A lot of people like pro sniper/viper/gamechangers

[@lukemorgan1267]

I recommend a ball bag. Aka - a scrotum. How to acquire: play a real sport lol

[@benhairston9927]

How do I know which side is the fast side

[@MrEdwardCollins]

One way is to determine which is the fast side and which is the slow side it to let the bags, and gravity, tell you. Grab two bags and stand behind the back of the board. Set each bag on the board in the two corners. Set one bag with one side up and set the other bag with the _other_ side up. Flatten each bag as much as possible and make sure they are evenly placed in each corner. Now simply lift the back of the board up, very slowly, slowly increasing the sharpness of the angle. The bag with the fast side placed down will start to move and slide towards the bottom of the board sooner than the bag with the slow side down.

[@chipsammich2078]

@@MrEdwardCollins usually more graphics on the fast side

[@joshbauman4421]

Thanks for the insight! I noticed you had the seam pointed towards the board you are throwing to. Do you have a preference for the direction the seam points when you grip it? Also, any thoughts on backswing consistency? I see a lot of pros seem to swing their arm behind their back...seems like this would impart some inconsistency from this left/right arm movement, yet they are pros and seem to do alright with it... guessing a consistent release point solves it.

[@CornholeBagReviews]

The seam is totally user preference, I like having my seam at the top when i grip so it never touches my hand. Purely a mental thing. In terms of backswing its all what works for you! I step when I throw so I need less arm power and am able to keep my backswing short which helps me with consistency, but some people like a really big backswing. Just try out things and find what works the best for you.

[@shirleyhagy8883]

How do you do the scoring

[@315kurtis]

Probly found what you were looking for already but just incase: 1 point on the board, 3 points for in the hole, and 0 off the board. Tally up the points for each player and the difference between the 2 is awarded to the player with more points scored that round! Hope this helps

[@jibbs_aim]

Begginer here, what conditions would make it so that the board is sticky/slick?

[@CornholeBagReviews]

If it just rained, so high humidity is very sticky. Lots of sun and wind dries out boards and makes them fast

[@jibbs_aim]

@@CornholeBagReviews Thank you, I live in a dry climate so that helps a lot

[@TM-lf6os]

Really wish you showed a close up of your full shot, especially slow mo. I can't see what you're doing there

[@AngelRodriguez-xc2dc]

For faster boards, what bag do you recommend for a beginner like myself who is still learning?

[@CornholeBagReviews]

Depends on how fast, I think the NFQ Dopes or the MN Tailgate Omegas are both great starter bags at a cheap price.

[@bradyherren8330]

Mn tailgate is a great GREAT BAG! It’s one of the best bags I’ve ever thrown

[@zhayquanmccain1183]

So do the wrist move at all? I'm have a hard time cause my wrist twist when I throw

[@CornholeBagReviews]

Depends on the person, the wrist naturally moves a little bit just from the swing. Some people have a wrist flick some do more of an arm swing, just personal preference

[@lou6339]

Had to watch again, so I can light my homies up🤫🤫🤫🤫

[@derekmason7507]

thats why im here 😂

[@chachee15]

Which bag do I buy

[@315kurtis]

Its a preference but a good start is for a higher loft shooter id go with 6(slow side) and 8+ (fast side). For more aggressive/faster shooter id start around 4/5 (slow side) and 7+ (fast side). Many bags $50-$60 is a great start. (Renyolds, allcornhole brands...etc for example)

[@justonmickey]

I can throw a flat bag with the grip you taught but can not throw a flat bag when it comes to butterfly grip. Any tips?

[@CornholeBagReviews]

Butterfly has a completely different release. Almost opening your hand forward instead of up. I struggle with it as well

[@justonmickey]

@@CornholeBagReviews would love a vid!

[@CornholeBagReviews]

@@justonmickey if you can throw it flat with the one grip I would stick with whatever works for you. Might do a butterfly video in the future but I have to figure it out haha

[@justonmickey]

@@CornholeBagReviews thank you

[@ronforeman5317]

Oh well, after I do all these unnatural contortions to my wrist the bag might be flat but it's pure luck if it even hits the board. 😁

[@lou6339]

I play for fun but have official board and got IMMEDIATE results from this video

[@CornholeBagReviews]

Glad to hear!

[@Newrayjay]

Thx for the tips now go get some grass fertilizer and some mulch😂

[@Sluggo01]

I’m thinking take some control of your lawn…instead of corn holin

[@CornholeBagReviews]

Haha it’s so dry here that it’s either water 4 times a day or let the lawn die for a couple months. I choose the latter

Throw a flat bag? Sounds painful.
