Types of Shots: American Cornhole League

Ryan Alessio and Trey Ryder chat about different types of shots you will see executed by players on the COBS 2017 ESPN 2 broadcast.

When did cornhole bags start having two textures? "sticky or slick" side. By having a "sticky" side you are eliminating some of the difficulty associated with the shot of blocking. When did the composition of the bags change?

I like this video although I disagree about the toughest shot. I think it's the blocker. It has a tendency to kick so your bag must be nice and flat, and it also is risky because if you miss left or right you frame in the hole for your opponent. Airmail on the other hand is always the same and if the bag isn't totally flat no worries, it goes in anyway. I would even say the push is harder so I would rank the hardest as 1.) blocker 2.) push 3.) airmail 4.) slide Just my two cents on that. Love the video though! You guys do a great job for cornhole. -Stacia

So if a fellow competitor blocks the hole and I push his bag into the hole, does he earn 3 points as well?

Yes
