BG Cornhole Bags – Speed Ratings Guide (2025/2026)
Cornhole players worldwide rely on BG Cornhole bags for their exceptional control, quality, and consistent performance. But what makes each BG Cornhole Bag unique? The answer lies largely in its speed rating .
In this guide, we explain what the speed ratings mean, how the different BG models play, and which type of player they're best suited for. You'll also find a handy overview of all BG bags from the 2025–2026 line, including their slow- and fast-side speeds.
What are Cornhole “Speed Ratings”?
Each cornhole bag has two sides: a slow side and a fast side. The speed is indicated on a scale of 1 to 10 :
- 1–3: Very slow – ideal for blocks and control
- 4–6: Balanced – all-around playing style and generally the slow side of Pro bags
- 7–10: Fast – perfect sliding speed for airmails, pushes and aggressive play
BG also uses various "carpet materials" for the slow side: this provides extra control and minimizes "kick," allowing you to throw consistently. These are also ideal for use with roll bags, for example.
