BG Cornhole is one of the most-thrown brands on the ACL Pro Tour, but every BG model plays differently. Instead of guessing from product photos, use this page to match a BG bag to the boards you play on, the shots you rely on, and the conditions you throw in. Every BG set here is ACL Pro stamped and sold as a set of 4.

• Your boards are slick and fast: pick a 4-speed slow side like the Omen, Immortal, or Mercenary L, so your bags stop instead of sliding off the back.
• Your boards are slow, tacky, or worn: go quicker with the Kingslayer or Wizard, so your bags still reach the hole.
• You win by blocking: the Immortal is the most controlled bag in the lineup.
• You want one set for everything: the Kingslayer is BG's all-around pick.
• You push and clear traffic: the Mercenary L pairs a grippy slow side with a 9-speed fast side.
• You play in humid weather: the Immortal is built to hold the same speed when the air gets heavy.

BG Cornhole Speed and Fill Comparison

Speeds use a 1–10 scale, where 10 is the fastest. The first number is the slow side and the second is the fast side. Ratings are approximate for broken-in bags and change with board finish and weather.

What Actually Makes a BG Bag Fast or Slow

Three things set a BG bag's personality. The slow-side material decides how much the bag grabs: BG's carpet and hybrid fabrics range from grippy blockers to quick, hole-seeking carpets. The fast side controls how hard the bag pushes through traffic, and most BG models use a durable polyester that speeds up as it breaks in. The fill is the part most shoppers overlook. A flat resin blend lies low and plays predictably, a mixed blend adds more action and drip, and BG's L blend adds control to an otherwise fast bag. Two bags with similar speed numbers can feel completely different because of fill alone.

The Two-Set Strategy

Many competitive players carry two BG sets and pick one after a few warm-up throws. Pair one slower set with one quicker set so you're covered on any board: an Omen or Immortal for slick boards, and a Kingslayer or Wizard for slow ones. Choosing two sets from the same brand also keeps the feel in your hand familiar when you switch.

Breaking In Your BG Bags

New BG bags start stiff and get faster as the fabric softens and the fill settles, so expect speeds to rise over your first several sessions. The best break-in is simply throwing them. Avoid shortcuts that can change a bag's size, shape, or weight, since ACL Pro bags need to pass inspection at sanctioned events.

What the ACL Pro Stamp Means

An ACL Pro stamp means the bag series was certified by the American Cornhole League for its highest level of play, including broadcast events. If you play ACL tournaments or plan to, a Pro-stamped set keeps every event open to you. If you only play in the backyard, you still get tournament-grade construction and consistency.
