5 Tips And Tricks To Always Win At Beer Pong

Even if playing with food is not exactly your cup of tea, you might still find yourself gripped by the allure of beer pong. It's not just about perfect hand-to-eye coordination, it’s also about the thrill of hearing the ‘splash’ as your ball lands in the cup at the opposite end of the table. Being forced to chug loads of beer when you’re on the losing team is a sweet consolation as well. 

If you want to be more competitive and learn how to master beer pong, you need a sound strategy to constantly win. Read on to find tips and tricks that would help you win beer pong each time you play it! 

  1. Be Strategic About The Cups You Aim For

Pick your targets well. Everything is going to depend on it. This is not the time to try and prove your perfect aiming skills. There are no marks for starting with the hardest-to-reach cup or nailing the most complicated throw. 

So, start aiming for the frontmost cups. Your likelihood of aiming perfectly is high, and that's what you want. You may then work your way to the cups at the back. After all, if you miss the front cups and your ball happens to bounce, there’s still a chance for the ball to bounce into the cups that are at the back. It's really about increasing your chances of success in all ways.

       2. Choose How You Are Going To Throw Your Ball 

There are three main ways to throw a ball in beer pong. There is the high, long, and slow throw—also known as the arc. Second is the low, fast, and aggressive throw—most commonly referred to as the Fastball. Then the third one is called the bounce. With this one, you'll have to bounce your ball on the table on time, then head slowly for the cups. 

This slow movement after the ball has hit the table is because the table will have absorbed most of the initial force of the ball, creating a more 'naturally' controlled movement than the other types of throw. But you will have to pick your throw type depending on where you are in the game and the level of precision needed. However, you can always default to the good old bounce if in doubt.

       3. How You Hold The Ball Is Important

When it comes to holding the ball before throwing, there is no hard and fast rule. While you can pull off an underhand or overhand hold of the ball or just flick it out of your fingertips, it seems the most foolproof way is to have the ball placed safely between your fore, middle finger, and thumb then make a throw. 

Make a round space with your fingers and fit the ball into it, then project the ball using your thumb. With enough practice, you'll be nailing this pro throw and be a master of beer pong in no time! 

        4. Get In Your Opponent's Head 

Beer pong may seem to be just fun and games, but psychology actually plays a huge part in it and might just be the best beer pong technique you can take advantage of. In any game, it's always a good idea to do what you can to get into your opponent's head. It's one of the sure ways to increase your chances of winning. 

Before the game starts, always try to chat up the opponent to find out what strings you might play in your favour during the game. If you know how to decrease their focus, the better. The idea is to have fun, though, not to antagonise each other. So, be a good sport and come up with fair strategies.

         5. Don't Stop Drinking

The losers get to chug down all the beer, right? Well, not necessarily. Winning also means you can drink on your own terms, plus the beer just tastes different with a pinch of victory. So, drink on!

A few drinks will probably help you loosen up and see the game for the fun that it's supposed to be. You want to be in a position where you aren't overthinking things. But you also have to drink moderately—especially if you want to aim perfectly and win! Your opponent may also take advantage of your early drinking spree, so don’t give them that satisfaction.

Conclusion 

Being a beer pong master isn't exactly rocket science. Just take note of the tips discussed above and try to practice your aim, handle, and throw as often as possible. Once you master the basics, you can develop more complicated tricks that can easily impress friends during parties.
