Arm was a bit sore that day and I really didn't think i was going to hit it. I was really just testing my set up with the two cameras. I had about 130 tosses at 100ft before I hit it. Definitely some luck involved but I practiced for a few days at 70 and 80ft. One day I hit 3 at 70ft in about 300 tosses. I figured it would take 300+ to hit 100ft. So 100ft is the benchmark. ULT will be at the MegaGate2011 if you want a chance to break the record and win some big money!
Certainly the overhead toss is not widely used in the game of cornhole but in no way is it an illegal toss. In the game of cornhole, no rule dictates the manner in which you toss the bag. For long toss, less than 60ft away I would go underhand because it’s more accurate; whereas, greater than 60ft I will go with overhand because I don't have to try as hard to toss it. At Ultimate Long Toss, you'll find another entry for underhand only. Give it a try, just make sure you warm up first.
@shaerick cool video. to break the record, you need to check out UltimateLongToss and read the rules. We measure from front edge to front edge. By the look of the video, it appears that you hit an underhand shot from 106ft. Certainly a record for underhand but only a tie for the unlimited. We need to review the raw footage for records to be eligible.
