5 Reasons NOT To Buy

• ACA American Cornhole Association does not state whether the seams of the bags are single stitched or double stitched for added durability.
• The manufacturer does not state what type of material is used for the included bean bags.
• Bags are filled with dried corn, which could allow mold growth, if left in humid or damp conditions.
• Bags included in set are red & blue bags (4 each), not the stars & stripes depicted in the imagery on Amazon. These bags must be purchased separately.
• Product is a bit pricey, compared to other brands.

Product Research Summary

I have some special notes regarding this product. First and foremost, the bags in this cornhole set have dried corn in them, which does not sit with me well, regarding antimicrobial materials. Most professional cornhole bean bags are filled with medium weight poly resin (plastic) fill.

Also, it looks like the bags are made from cloth or canvas, which won’t give the same feeling of throwing a tournament approved cornhole bag, which tends to have a slick side made of rave weave rayon, and a stick side made out of microsuede. There are some variations of those materials being used in cornhole bag construction, but most professional bean bags follow this pattern.

It’s important to note that the bags in this set are NOT ACL approved (American Cornhole League), but they obviously qualify to be used for ACA (American Cornhole Association) competition. If you are looking specifically for ACA approved bags, I WOULD recommend this product.

Lastly, if you dream and aspire to become a professional cornhole player, I would recommend these boards, but start playing with ACL approved bags as soon as they are affordable.

Q: Is a carrying case included for the cornhole boards?

A: No. A carrying case for the boards must be purchased separately.
