There are several key elements to perfecting the cornhole toss. What separate the pros from causal players are the mechanics of the toss and the repeatability of those mechanics. Most pros use a spin toss. Adding spin to the bag stabilizes it like a gyro. A spinning bag is more controllable and less likely to move around or “knuckle ball” in windy conditions. When we teach players how to throw the spin toss, it generally takes about 2-3 rounds to start hitting the board. After that, about 80% of those players never go back to their old style. Some players just can’t get the hang of it or feel pressured and want to go back to what they feel comfortable with. Our recommendation is to keep practicing until you get it.
