Cornhole player Bruno Bocquier about his partnership with ZÜCA.
What started as a backyard game, is now one of the most popular outdoor games in the United States. Recent years, the game has also exploded in popularity in Europe. Professional cornhole players are traveling around Europe to attend Cornhole tournaments. ZÜCA developed special Cornhole bags and a wide range of accessories that help you improve your performance.
One of our ambassadors is Bruno Bocquier, professional Cornhole player from France. He won in Rotterdam during the Swap event with Ben Brown (American PRO player) during the ACL Europe Open 2022 and became European champion with the French team. We talked to him about improving your Cornhole game, tournament essentials and his partnership with ZÜCA.
Can you tell us more about how it all started? When was your first Cornhole game?
“I discovered Cornhole in 2017 and immediately enjoyed it. So I took the dimensions of the shelves and bags and made a game myself. My son Clarence also enjoyed the game, we played often. In July 2017 we decided to participate in a local tournament and we won. It was never my intention to become a professional Cornhole player, but I enjoyed it a lot and I realized that the selection tests to become PRO were accessible. In 2022 I successfully entered the ACL PRO adventure.”
Why did you choose ZÜCA as your partner?
“I am a big fan of the ZÜCA products. The ZÜCA Cornhole bag is especially adapted to our sport and of high quality. Thanks to the patches, it’s possible to organize all your necessities. Also the size of the Cornhole bag is adapted to the volume of all our equipment. Another big plus is that you can use the Cornhole bag as a comfortable small seat. That's great during tournaments. I think the ACL PRO Cornhole bag and its accessories are essential for any Cornhole player. I am delighted and very proud to wear the ZÜCA brand on my jerseys.”
Do you have any tips to become a better Cornhole player?
“Stay calm and patient. This way you can properly analyze your opponent's play in order to implement the winning strategy. I also recommend investing in a professional Cornhole bag from ZÜCA. This way you can easily move all the necessities and rest between games on the small seat. Save your strength to play the game well!”
