Everything Cornhole To Feed Your Addiction

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...
