Americans are currently going gaga over this lawn game called cornhole. It’s quite simple to play. Hence, it’s a game suited for all ages.  And just like most balls that wear out in baseball or football games, it is also important to replace the cornhole bag occasionally. But first, what makes a quality corn bag?

If you have seen a bean bag, then a cornhole bag is no different from this square sack. Most of these bags are sewn at a six inch by six inch measurement and double-stitched (some are even triple stitched) for added durability. Each bag should normally weigh a pound each as this is the weight for about 2 cups of corn that are used to fill the bags. If you’re looking for cornbags with standard weight, then make sure that they are filled with corn and not plastic pellets. Pellets weigh 25 percent less than the standard weight.

Take time in buying your cornhole bag so that you are ascertained of its quality. Purchase the bags that come with a warranty because this is an indicator that the best materials have been used and superior stitching has been made. Take a look at the thread used—it should be the heavy duty type and its color should match the fabric used.

Most cornhole bags are made of duck cloth fabric which has been proven to weather extreme gaming conditions. The fabric is the most important part of the cornhole bag as this holds the corn kernels inside. The higher the weight of this kind of fabric, the more durable it is. Also, if sub-standard sewing has been done then rest assured that the cornbag won’t last. If you also decide to purchase your cornhole bag rather than make it, then it wouldn’t hurt to shell out a few more dollars since most inferior bags come cheap.

Take the necessary precaution so you wouldn’t end up halting your cornhole game in the middle of a heated competition!
