Taking you along as I try to go from Cornhole beginner to Cornhole novice and have fun doing it. I have played here and there over the years, but have finally decided to actually learn the game. I will be working on technique, upgrading equipment, and hopefully entering a few tournaments!
Would definitely recommend cbc to anyone especially people just starting to play they have a lot of options and they are not super expensive. Really like my impacts and ronins
Have you ever tried any of the Dead Nutz ACO bags? I have a set of Manna 4/7’s and am looking into possibly getting more of their other bags. They seem very quality for the price, and this is coming from someone who owns Ultra, Killshot, Titan, Gladiator, etc.
I own mostly Reynolds bags and usually bring 4 different sets. Pro-x (traditional carpet on slow), Renegades (herringbone), Thunder (R carpet), and Fracture (non-carpet, fast bag). Those cover all conditions, but lately been favoring the Thunder as it seems not many people can throw flat so that helps a little and they play well in all conditions.
This also a head game, Confidence is key. Just like in fishing, when nothing is hitting my go-to color lur its time to switch. I've noticed I can lose confidence in one set of bags and switching up can fix it. All in my head, but whatever it takes.
I am definitely a stepper, mainly for the reasons you suggested. I tried standing still but I could not really judge my back swing and front release properly. Plus I didn’t enjoy it. I am back to stepping and will work on improving that. I also like how you throw a flat bag without your hand completely facing up. I am still trying to throw the flat bag.
Ive never thrown ‘pro’ bags before, only the lind you get with a plain set from Amazon. The amazon bags are supposed to be’regulation’ size and weight but they’re also loose and floppy. Is there a huge benefit to throwing these ‘pro’ bags?
Ive never played with the expensive regulation bags. $75-$95 for a set of 4. They dont seem to be as loose and floppy as the bags you get say from Amazon set. Do these expensive bags throw better than a ‘run of the mill’ bag?
I'm in Fayetteville. New to cornhole. I am thinking of doing some Majors : Fort Smith, Branson, and some in Texas depending on my family schedule. Give me a shout if you need a partner.
@@cornholenoob Oh I didn't realize you had been playing for a year already. I am super new. I don't even know how to keep score yet. You dont want me for a partner, but I am thinking of coming to the lodge to do the Wednesday night league maybe I'll see you there and pick your brain about tips.
I play mostly just local stuff. Minnesota seems semi- resistant to large cornhole organizations. ACO tried coming here, nobody went. ACL does quite a few events that get a decent turnout but there are a lot of people here that refuse to play in an ACL event. I always watch both on streaming though and like both. I feel like ACO looks more fun and has a lot of great players like the Hurt boys and Gary Bearpaw to name a few of many. ACL has the cream of the crop in talent but a lot of the bigger events seem less social.
I might play Clarksville since that's the CBC Boys location, I played the Knoxville Major last year probably will again this January if you decide 12 hour's ain't too far lol
This stinks after watching your reviews I was gonna order the vector and the ronin. They changed designs for next season. Can’t get ones with your graphics anymore. Do you know what other website sells cbc?
Love the skinny boards! what are the actual dimensions of the board top and bottom? curious the difference to a standard board. love your cornhole content.
Locally made, but this one is basically the same titancornholebags.com/hotshot/?sku=HOTSHOT-TE&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwq_G1BhCSARIsACc7NxpSZYzJVlvMQVocxY_fNj7F237vVg4w5GEbsrM16itr8mo5G1tuLewaAjRwEALw_wcB
You’re not following through on your shots. I do the same thing and have been trying to train myself to keep a flat hand out after release. My accuracy approves if I can continue to do it. But as I fatigue I start to forget and not follow through. Love your videos man keep up the good work
Hate to say it about myself, but if I'm throwing poorly, I'm not having fun. If I'm throwing bad and win, still no fun. If I'm throwing good and lose, i might have fun. But if I'm not throwing well, there is no fun to be had for me.
Good tips. find ways to make yourself uncomfortable by playing better players or going to bigger tournaments. It will help make you less nervous when you play tournaments
There are two tips that I use in every game I play that I don't really see mentioned in other videos. One is to focus on your breathing. Take a couple deep breaths and really focus on your shot. And my biggest tip that works for me is to not watch your opponent throw. Players tend to "follow" where their opponents throw and sometimes it works in your favor but if you just look away when they throw, all you see is the board and how you need to throw. I tell all my teammates that and they've all said that both tips help tremendously. Keep the videos coming!!!
A little game we play is that you have to score 6 points before your score counts really push you too hit points. So max points in a round 6 if you hit 4 bagger
