Reynolds Cornhole Bags

Reynolds Bags helped put carpet cornhole bags on the map, and their bags have been a staple on the competitive scene ever since. Every Reynolds series pairs two different fabrics for a slow side and a fast side, so the trick is matching the right series to your throw, your boards, and the shots you rely on.

• Your boards are slick and fast: start with a slow slow side, like the Pro Touch (3) or the Pro Advantage, Pro X, and Patriot (4), so your bags stop on the board.
• Your boards are slow or tacky: go quicker with the Fracture, which has the fastest slow side in the lineup (7).
• You love cut, roll, and bounce shots: the Pro Advantage pairs Reynolds' original carpet slow side with a steady Advantage fast side.
• You push and clear traffic: pick a 9-speed fast side like the Pro X, Victory, Typhoon, or Renegade.
• You want control on both sides: the Pro Advantage, Patriot, Hurricane, Cyclone, and Pro A-V all keep the fast side at 7.
• You want a pro-level bag at a lower price: the Pro A-V pairs the Advantage and Victory fabrics.

Reynolds Bags Speed Chart

Speeds use a 1 to 10 scale, where 10 is fastest. The first number is the slow side and the second is the fast side. Actual speed changes with board finish, humidity, and break-in.

The Original Carpet Bag

Reynolds is closely tied to the rise of carpet cornhole bags. Carpet slow sides grab the board and let skilled players cut, roll, and bounce bags around blockers instead of just sliding them. Reynolds' Pro Advantage uses its original carpet material on the slow side, and it's known for playing well in humidity, which makes it a favorite for players who throw in changing conditions.

ACL Approved for Tournament Play

Reynolds bags are ACL approved and built for sanctioned tournament play. Approval is tied to the specific series and season, so if you're buying for an ACL event, check the stamp or approval listed on the product page and confirm it against the ACL's current rules.

The Two-Set Strategy

Many competitive players carry two Reynolds sets and choose after warm-up throws. Pair a grippy set like the Pro Touch or Pro Advantage for fast boards with a quicker set like the Fracture for slow ones, and you're covered on any board without changing brands or feel.

Breaking In Your Reynolds Bags

New dual-sided bags start stiff and speed up as the fabric softens and the fill settles, so expect them to play a little faster after your first several sessions. The best break-in is throwing them. If you want to speed things up, a break-in solution like Toss Sauce can help. Avoid anything that changes a bag's size, shape, or weight if you play sanctioned events.
