Cornhole Strategy 101: How to Outscore Your Opponents

Cornhole isn’t only about sinking bags—it’s about smart strategy.

• Block the Hole: Place your bag in front to make scoring harder for opponents.

• Push Shots: Use one bag to push another into the hole.

• Air Mail: A direct shot into the hole—perfect when the board is blocked.

• Defensive Play: Sometimes it’s better to prevent points than to score.

Mixing offense and defense makes you unpredictable and tougher to beat.
