Part 3 is here! So your opponent goes first and drops their bag right in that 7 o’clock spot creating a lane block. If you’re a lefty, that thing is definitely all up in your lane. Now what do you do? We asked four ACL Pro players what they would do. Let's analyze their answers and see if we can figure out what the best answer is: A, B, C, D, none of the above, or all of the above! When playing at the competitive level and below, the blocker seems to get most people rattled. They just can't figure out what the best thing to do is or how they will play out the round finishing with points or not giving up a bunch. The lane block bag becomes one of the biggest mental hurdles especially if your opponent doesn't have much of an airmail or any roll, flop or cut shot. Which, let's face it, not too many competitive/intermediate players have those in their arsenal. Lets check out how the Pro players handle the lane block and maybe you can get some tips on what you should do or...

Here we go! More block game theory analysis by your local Cornhole Geek (patent pending) here at Cornhole Addicts!  Today we look at the missed block where a block attempt by your opponent lands in their own lane. All examples have our Pros on the left side of the board with a bag to follow their opponent's block. What would ACL Pros Isabella Suprenant, Kenzie Beach, Steven Bernacet, and Bret Guy do in these situations? Do you do something else? If so, let's see if they can convince you switch something up in your game.  How the pros handle the missed block Pretty much the same answer from all of them except Bella gives a counter block option we'll look at afterwards. I know for myself, I salivate when I see this and attempt a bully bag to knock their bag completely out of the way. But as you can read for yourselves, these pros would just ignore it and go right in. To them, it's more valuable to allow their opponent to risk the "2fer collect bag" and for them...

Welcome to our newest series called Pro Level Game Theory and first up, we are going to talk about the Standard Block. We asked four ACL Pros how they would typically respond to each of these block scenarios. Their (response) bag would be thrown from the left side. Below are their answers. (Spoiler: they're not all the same). Now let's break down why each player may have answered the way they did and really begin to ask ourselves the million dollar question: is there a correct way? One thing is clear from the gate: there is no consensus here. Cut around like Bella? Roll? Airmail? Block behind? Push through? For some time now, in the non-pro world, it has been the consensus to cover/pin/block behind a standard block (but apparently we can’t come to a consensus on what to call this move). Common cornhole wisdom dictates, “Hey, great block, allow me to place this bag behind it to negate any attempts from you to push it in, and let’s start the airmail party. May the best airmailer...

Negativity Breeds Negativity No doubt, cornhole is a mental game and we are going to help you dominate! Someone once told me, it is easier to pull a man down the ladder then help him up the ladder. I have been in a terrible slump, until last night. Probably the worst slump I’ve ever been in since I learned how to throw a flat bag eons ago. I couldn’t do anything right. From 3 off the back, 1 on the board, missing wide open shots for easy points, to missing the board by 2 feet. My opponents joked that I could win a farthest from the hole contest. The other night while playing $5 cash games, my neighbor, the tumbler took $70 and a set of bags off me. Each and every time I got on the boards things just seemed to get worse and worse. Show up to league and go 1-12, one more rung down the ladder. It got so bad, I stopped setting up the boards to practice. Heck, I didn’t want so show face at league night and worse yet, I lost the motivation to write articles for Cornhole Addicts as those were...

The first step to being a great cornhole player is to master the Flat Bag throw. You know, the bag that spins through the air like a Frisbee. A horizontal, spinning bag is the key to pitching a consistent game for two reasons. First, putting spin on the bag allows it to "sail" through the air without being affected by the wind. Second, a flat spin allows the bag to land smoothly on the game board, and more importantly continue to move in a straight path once it hits the board. Throwing the flat bag is also important if you are looking to "push" a bag into the hole. A "flopping" bag seems to bounce in different directions after striking the board, making the player's tosses less consistent. So how do you spin the bag perfectly flat? Many beginners find this to be difficult and give up after a few attempts. It does take a bit of practice, but once you get it, you will reap the rewards, be more consistent and take your game to the next level. Here are few...

Being a great cornhole player is about consistency. Constantly performing the same motion over and over to achieve the same result of putting the bag in the hole. We have quite an extensive archive of blogs that discuss the different elements of the game to help make you a better player. This one talks about your footwork which is an essential part of your throw. Do you or should you step or not? This past weekend, Dickey and I attended a fundraiser tournament for a local fire department. Actually, Dickey was running the thing. It was held in an empty warehouse, a huge space that was capable of having 50 or more sets of boards. One problem though, it was 95 degrees outside which equates to about 115 degrees inside. With very little ventilation and zero air flow (aside from the 2 fans at the scorers table). To say the conditions were brutal is an understatement. We’ve played in rain, 40 mph winds and blazing sun, but I dare say these conditions were the worst I’ve ever played in. We dec...
