How to Improve Your Cornhole Game

Here are a few of the most popular and effective ways to improve your cornhole game. Simple practice and repetition are the keys to making your game consistent and dominant. The best way to get better, is always just to play more cornhole!

AIRMAIL CORNHOLE BOARDS

Addicted to that airmail feeling? You know, the “swish” feeling when your bag doesn’t even hit the board and goes right in. Airmail practice cornhole boards are the training partner to perfect your airmail. Here’s how it works: The boards give you the exact angle and hole dimensions as your professional cornhole
board, but with less runway. The 18” x 18” reduced playing surface gives little room for error and will help you zone-in on the target and start dropping airmail on your opponents. For regulation distance, the foul line is 30 feet from the front of the opposite board.

GHOST CORNHOLE

Ghost Cornhole a one-player cornhole practice game that will help you improve your game. Here’s how to play: First, choose a starting difficulty level from 1 (very easy) to 11 (very difficult). This number will represent how many points the “ghost” scores in each round of your cornhole game. Set up your cornhole boards and toss your 4 bags as you would in a typical cornhole game. Once you’ve thrown all of your bags, take score for that round. Use cancellation scoring for your points against the selected level of “ghost” points. Repeat this, playing to a normal 21 game. Once you’ve beaten the ghost a few times at your level, then continue to increase the ghost score as high as you can!
