Toss the bag flat You can get a more consistent toss when you toss the bag flat.
Add spin to the toss To maximize the toss once it hits the board, a clockwise spin will help guide the bag to the hole. Left-handers should try a counter-clockwise spin.
Keep an 8-foot arch The toss should have about an 8-foot arch and aim at the middle of the board. The bag spin should guide it close to the hole without going off the board. Add about two feet to the arch if there are bags on the board to get the bag directly in the hole.
Square stance player should stand with their shoulders square to the board and concentrate not to dip the shoulders or move the head.
