Tips For a Good Cornhole Game

A good cornhole game can be very fun. A typical game involves playing with four or five beanbags. The goal is to toss your beanbag as close as possible to the hole. If you do this, you can score a’swish’ or ‘ace.’ When your bag hits the board below the hole, it’s called a ‘dirty bag’ and no points are awarded. A ‘backdoor’ is achieved by tossing the bag over the blocker and into the hole. Other methods include the ‘air mail’ and the ‘backdoor’. A backstop is a beanbag placed behind the hole to prevent other sliders from going off the board. Another strategy involves using a blocker, a cornhole bag in front of the hole that prevents other bags from entering the hole.

When you choose a cornhole set, remember to select one that is easy to clean and whose material is waterproof. The same goes for the board – if it’s plastic, you’ll need to add a layer of waterproof material. A board should look nice and not detract from the game’s overall appearance. Choose one with a ‘fun’ design and you’ll be playing cornhole for years to come.

Another tip for playing cornhole is to learn different tossing techniques. A low pitch will knock your opponent’s bag off the board. A high toss with back spin will clear a barricade of bags. If you’re not able to clear a barricade of bags, you should use a ‘pancake’ toss. This will land gracefully on the board and into the hole.
