Some bags really don't like to be thrown by the seems, others seem to require it. What's your default

Wondering if something like this would work. I’ve designed a couple mascot images where they are peeking out of a pocket for shirt designs and have been playing around with the idea of throwing one on a cornhole board. I’m heading up to a game in a couple weeks and was curious if anyone had any insight into something like this and if it would work. I was planning on placing the main decal and then slightly heating the rest of the hands and semi stretching it over the edge and onto the base of the board. I would do the normal poly coats on the top and the front to try and adhere the decal better. Just wasn’t sure if it’s something that would lift and peel overtime from it potentially getting hit with bags or from storage. I’ve been doing boards for other people and decided it was time for a new set for myself and figured I would try something new for me with this design.

I have not posted here in some years but I thought this set was worth sharing. This was my first new set in probably 6 years. Ithink this is my 14th in total. I got asked to donate a set for a charity and this is what he chose. Took a long time as I forgot a lot of my old methods. But these ended up pretty good. *i have not put poly on yet. Stains with a white vinyl outline. I made the blue stain but of anyone knows where a guy can buy a variety of color gel stains i would love to know.

I'm about to apply my first set of vinyl wraps on some boards I built. I purchased some high quality laminated ones. I currently have the tops cut to a straight 2x4 size. My question is after I apply the vinyl and trim most of the excess could I take a roundover bit afterwards around the edges and simultaneously cut back the wood and vinyl?

I tested my idea on some cheap vinyl and it seemed to work OK. Here is a pic of it.

So I've been playing at a local weekly cornhole club and I've gotten better than when I started but I'm incredibly inconsistent. I can throw a 4 bagger and then throw for 2 points the next round. I don't have boards or the space to setup at home to practice outside of the weekly club tournament and I'm honestly not even sure "how to practice."

I feel like I need feedback from someone who knows what they're doing.

I currently throw with a butterfly grip but I still struggle with throwing a consistent flat bag but I'm not sure why.

Sometimes the throws that "feel" the best coming out of my hand actually are the worst and those that feel awful go right in the hole, so relying on my own feedback seems poor.

Obviously without a consistent flat bag or consistent shot, I can't work on any other shot shaping so I struggle with a dirty board pretty heavily. I've somehow thrown a roll bag but I honestly couldn't tell you how.

Really just looking for advice. For those who went from beginner to intermediate to advanced, what did you do? Tips for practice? How to get good feedback so I can actually work on my throw and then advance my game.

Anything would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

I tried looking at local stores for a new bag set and I can’t seem to find a solid set. Everything I find is like the cheap plastic boards and the flimsy powdery bags.

Since I have to order a new set online, I figured I might as well ask on Reddit.

Can anybody recommend a good set?

Hello! I have a little family tournament this weekend and its for money and i really wanna win. This summer i built some cornhole boards to take to these kinds of gatherings and also so i can practice. Ive kinda just been trying to get the basics down like flat bags and different grips. Ive finally found something that works for me and i can throw a flat bag but my accuracy has went down significantly when im trying to throw a flat bag, so my question is with the time i have to practice should I keep trying to correct my throw with a flat bag or just throw it how i normally would.

Wanted to do something unique and fun. Board is wider (2.5ft) to make room for multiple holes and different scoring. Holes are 6” and 5/4” respectively (NOT regulation 😂)

Here’s something really interesting I learned playing some of the top PROs at the ACL Europe open 2026!

Looking at the wear and tear of the pro players bags they are noticeably more worn on the outside, and almost like new on the center.

I’ve always thought to get the bags to fly as flat as possible, but seeing the shift in the US that more and more of the pros throw more backloaded naturally.

This wears out the edges much faster, and almost leaves the center untouched!

(This is Spencer Fabionars bag - big shoutout to him for being such a cool guy!)

Here are some of my boards and score towers that I've made since the last time I shared. They're all stained; no vinyl or direct print. Also included are custom matching bags that I've designed for some sets. Enjoy!

So I’ve been playing competitively (switches and blind draws locally instead of just the backyard) for about a year now and while I’ve definitely improved quite a bit I feel like I’ve hit a wall where I’m stuck at that 7.75 PPR at the end of the night. I’ll throw great games (9-10ppr) but I also still throw up stinkers (5-6ppr) too. But for the last two months or so it’s crazy how at the end of the night I will look and sure enough another 7.5 give or take a few hundredths of a point.

So for anyone else who’s been in my shoes how did you push through? I still love to throw any chance I get but I just feel like the practice isn’t really as additive as I’ve gotten better. I realize progress isn’t linear but it sucks that I’ve been so consistently inconsistent for like 3 months now.

So I’m going on a camping trip in Ohio for a music festival and I found this at Dicks! It’s a little smaller than regulation size so it can fit in my car, but I can’t wait to try it out!!!

Pm me. Willing to do any type of verification. Just looking to make a little money.

Thus is a fun game that evens out the players and ads some strategy and fun

Play to 11 1 pount for winning the round

And 2 points added for every airmail.

Try it and give me some feedback

Anyone have any insight on these bags? They're a new series from Brotherhood for '27 stamp year, and really don't see any reviews on the inter-webs.

Looking for a decent doubles partner in a Cornhole league! The league is located in close to downtown Orlando at the A La Cart - SoDo. I have BG Kingslayer bags that we can use!

League starts on September 15th! Every Tuesday evening for 7 weeks including one playoff week as well! 18+ league, $75

I know people on here are all scoreholio only, and I am too.. kinda. But I wanted stats so spent too many weekends on this and got carried away, but please give me some constructive criticism on how I can improve. If you try it, use the advanced bag counting it will tell u ppr and bags on board % and stat rank vs other players if u click game history between the wins losses. I then went down the bunny trail of save rooms if you login. Then tournaments .. and so we go. I know there's a new app out every month, so disregard instead of rip.

Best bag break in method you use or have used (besides just tossing) just warm water? Add vinegar? Just wash? Or toss sauce/snake oil etc?

Just finished building the boards, needing some tips on the finishing. Going to put a vinyl sticker like the one above on the board, just wanna make sure the bags slide properly.
Should I put poly on before, and what grit to sand down to? Better to use oil or water based poly? How many layers before and after?
