How do I hit a roll shot in cornhole?
Getting your cornhole bag to roll over another bag and into the hole can be a challenging shot to execute, but with practice and the right technique, it can be done. Here are the steps to roll your cornhole bag over another bag and into the hole:
Assess the position of the bags on the board and identify the one that you want to roll over.
Hold the cornhole bag with your dominant hand and grip it with your fingers and palm.
Tilt the bag slightly, so that it hits the board at an angle rather than straight on.
Release the bag with a smooth motion, aiming for the edge of the bag that you want to roll over.
Use enough force to roll the bag over the other bag and into the hole, but not so much that it overshoots the hole.
Adjust the speed and angle of the shot based on the position of the bags and the distance to the hole.
Practice the shot on both sides of the board to become proficient in using it from any angle.
Tips:
Aim for the edge of the bag that is closest to the hole.
Practice your release and aim to create the right amount of spin and force on the bag to roll it over the other bag.
Use a slightly higher arc and more spin than you would for a traditional shot to ensure that the bag rolls over the other bag.
Don't get discouraged if you don't make the shot right away. It takes practice to master this technique.
By following these steps and practicing, you can improve your cornhole game and add this advanced technique to your bag of tricks.
