Cornhole bags come in a wide range of options. There are choices for bag filling, depending on your preferences. Cornhole bags can be constructed of outer materials to help slide or stick the bag on the cornhole board.
But if you want to play with the best-size bags, you want regulation cornhole bags. What is the typical cornhole bag size?
What Size Is a Regulation Cornhole Bag?
Regulation cornhole bags meet the American Cornhole Association® standards. A regulation cornhole bag size is 6” x 6” and weighs a pound. This is the regulation size and weight of cornhole bags the pros use.
These bags are used with regulation cornhole boards. Professional cornhole players use cornhole boards that are 4’ x 2’.
A regulation cornhole board has a hole that is six inches. These six-by-six bags are meant to provide the most challenging, yet accessible, play on a regulation board. If your cornhole bags are too big, they won’t fit in the hole. Make them too small, and the game isn’t the same.
If you want to play cornhole as it’s meant to be played, regulation cornhole bags on a regulation cornhole board give you the same experience as the pros.
What Is in Cornhole Bags?
Of course, the original cornhole bags were cloth bags filled with corn, and you can still play with corn-filled bags.
But there is a wide variety of cornhole bag filler available today, some offering longer life span or ease of storage.
What Cornhole Bag Filling Is Best?
There is no one type of cornhole bag filling that is best. The options are there for you to choose based on your personal preferences.
Corn-filled cornhole bags
The original still works! Slick Woody’s corn-filled bags are made with durable 10 oz. duck cloth and whole-kernel corn feed. Corn-filled bags need to be stored in a dry place, and they need to be kept away from animals.
Some people just like playing with the original corn bags, and the dust that inevitably comes with use can help the bags slide.
Resin-filled bags
Plastic resin-filled cornhole bags are more durable than the original corn-filled bags. They will last longer, and they are not appealing to animals who might want to eat them.
Cornhole Bag Extras
Cornhole bags have a variety of options for cornhole enthusiasts. Some bags feature different materials on each side, allowing you to use the side that works best for your play – suede for slower slides and polyester for faster slides.
Slick Woody’s offers Reynolds bags in Pro X and Pro Touch. Each bag is constructed of two materials, so you can strategize before you choose which side you want to land on the board. (And, yes, they are still regulation cornhole bag size.)
