Can't decide on Cornhole Bags?

Are you looking for Cornhole Bags, but can't decide what bags work best for you?!

There are thousands of cornhole bags on the market these days, and the selection grows daily! From different materials, fill, designs, the options are endless.  It was not that long ago that cornhole bags were just about all the same featuring duck cloth on both sides of the bags.  Today, you will find hundreds of different materials in use for cornhole bags!

So, how do you decide what bags to buy?  If you are new or newer to the game this question can be overwhelming, but don't worry, you will find the perfect bag for your game!

All of those different materials used for bags now, is simply to change the speed in which bags react when landing on the playing surface of a cornhole board.  Some materials have very little friction making the bag slide up the boards quickly while some material has a lot of friction and will cause bags to land and come to a complete stop very quickly!  All of this just means that there is a right cornhole bag out there for you no matter how you throw.

First start out by determining what your bags do today when you throw and land them on the boards.  Do they land and fly off the back?  Or, perhaps they land and don's slide up near enough to find the hole.  In either scenario you will want to find bags that are either slower or faster respectively.  Each bag manufacturer has a speed chart or rating associated with each bag type.  This is the best place to start narrowing down your selection.  You can weed out half the bags on the market if you don't like playing either a fast or a slow bag altogether.

  • How long have you been playing cornhole?
  • What kind of bags have you thrown in the past or do you throw today?
  • Do your bags generally slide up and off the board, or do they land and stick right away?
  • Do you generally play indoors or outdoors?
  • Do you prefer to land low on the board and slide all the way up to the hole or do you prefer to land close to the hole and barely need any slide at all to go in?

Let's start there and we will help you find the perfect cornhole bags for your game!
