Absolutely.

Just to say again this one really helped me. Still working on my spin and release bit accuracy is way better on all shots. Especially airmail

This is another area of personal preference. Many players like to hold the bag tight enough so that beads are not shifting in the bag during the throw. Other players hold the bag fairly loose and want to feel the counter weight of the bag hanging outside their hand. Try a range of grips and pressure and see what scores best for you.

@@eyork6544 thanks for the shout!

Love to hear it!

@@michaelminnie8925 His grip is his key to a flat bag. We could have been more clear about that. Thanks for the comment.

That is a good question. We will have to ask more players to get you an answer.

Started doing my routine and oh man my bags r way more consistent. Thank u again.

@@Cattttt802 Wow thanks that means a lot.

Yep, but his grip is a big part of it and is unique.

Mark's grip and release are shown. He doesn't do too much special in his throw to get his bag flat. The key is that he keeps his bag relatively flat throughout his motion. This cocking of the wrist in his backswing and through his forward movement promotes a flat release. His unique grip really utilizes his fingers so he gets that "finger blast" that generates the spin to keep his bag flat after release. The keys to a flat bag are mostly getting it out of your hand nose up (flat) and getting some decent spin. Spin will get the bag flatter. There are several videos that are better for flat bags on Cornhole Network. Mark's throw is much more about pace, consistency and accuracy. Combined with a pretty flat bag, he is arguably the most consistent player in the world.

Interesting.

@ yeah i can throw a pretty flat bag but it's impossible to build muscle memory for accuracy, height, speed, etc. in a lumpy backyard making my feet/stance feel different every round. great vid nonetheless, keep it up!

@@alexmedeiros1679 If you are unsure of your footing/base, lots can go wrong. I personally opted for a throw without a step so that I didn't need to worry about my footing.

@@erictscherne5255 i also don't step but it's still impossible to get footing consistent. only option left is putting plywood under/around the boards...

@@alexmedeiros1679 I wonder if you are putting too much into it. I've played in plenty of places like parks and parking lots where there are inconsistencies in the ground. A crack right where I want to stand for example or and odd pump. If it's your backyard, maybe take some time to rehab the area and get your grass/ground a little flatter, Try your plywood trick or maybe pave/deck the area where your boards are. The reality is you don't have to go that far though. Check out some of the top pros and where they throw, not always perfect. good reps can be had even if you are playing outside with weather or uneven surfaces.

Sure send a video our way and we will have a look.

@ how you go about that ?

@@BamaPaul You can upload a video to your youtube channel as unlisted, then share the link with us by message.

We are trying to make each video better than the last. Thanks for the nod.

Stepping is a personal preference. There are positives and negatives to each. Stepping in general can set pace in a throw and it gets the momentum of your body going forward towards your target. This can all be really good. With lots of moving parts, if something gets off, it can lead to a bigger miss. With a non-step, the throw tends to be more compact with less movement. You may find pace problems, deceleration, weight shift off. My suggestion (This is Eric) is to pick what you are most comfortable with and practice that.

We would recommend trying both and see what produces better scores.

Step carries power, but consistently can suffer. I like to step personally. But it comes down to your stroke..

@@charliefarley8801 it is good with faster bags too. The lower release makes for a smaller arc and you will find the bag is less likely to slide off the back of the board.

The number one thing you can do at that level is put 4 bags on the board every frame. Almost guaranteed to win.

@@Cattttt802 Thanks much appreciated. I think you will like your new throw.

Baldwin throws a bit like this. He is very upright though. Not really bent down and forward. He also tends to whip across his body more than the players of today. The short backswing and quick twitch muscle use is very similar.

@@allenballard377 love it, thanks for the shout.

@CornholeNetwork so i implemented some of these techniques and took podium both days this weekend. So HUGE thank you

@ now that is great to hear- Awesome!

It has been a bit! Good to be back thanks for the shout.

💯

@@Eaaatlife this is exactly that. You have to adopt an effective flat bag technique to be accurate.

@@CornholeNetwork I’m not sure, I think a flat bag is overrated. I’ve seen plenty of tilted and ugly looking bags beat flat bag throwers. Because accuracy is key. Sure a flat bag can be more consistent. But it’s overrated.

@ at a mid level of cornhole I would agree, but at the high level of the sport bag tilt and rotation is a tool used for shot making. If a player throws with a tilted bag unintentionally they are at the mercy of a certain cutting action and a less predictable response when it hits the board resulting in less consistency. In our experience a flatter bag is more forgiving when it hits the board, tracking straighter with predictable friction, making it perform more accurately overall. This is our experience but of course there are always exceptions and outliers. We may do a future episode about accuracy and why we think a flat bag is important. Appreciate your input.

@@Eaaatlife So I played 4 years of Pro Cornhole. There are some racers who don't throw a flat bag. They are still usually pretty close. Even players like Daymon Dennis throw flattish. And they throw with CONSISTENCY. So their bag does the same, predictable thing every time it lands. If you want to throw and accurate bag, you will need to throw a bag with consistent bag angle, consistent arc/height and land in the same spot on the board. I work on my accuracy throwing airmails. If you can hit a 6X6 spot on the board and your bag has the same angle when it hits the board, you'll end up with predictable results. Flat bags have much more predictability though.
