TL;DR:
Cornhole bags come in small, medium, and large templates — all within ACL’s approved size range.
-
Small = tighter, firmer, better for precision shots
-
Medium = balanced for versatility
-
Large = looser, floppier (dependant on infil), melts into the hole — great for push and slide shots
Razor Cornhole Bags are all large template bags, designed for elite hole-friendliness and pro-level performance right out of the box.
Understanding Cornhole Bag Template Sizes: Small, Medium, and Large
In competitive cornhole, not all bags are built the same. While ACL regulations require bags to meet specific size and weight standards, manufacturers design within that range to create what are commonly referred to as small, medium, or large template bags.
ACL Regulations for Cornhole Bags:
To be ACL-compliant, cornhole bags must fall within:
-
Width/Height: Between 5.75” and 6.25”
-
Thickness: Minimum of 1.10”
-
Diagonal (corner-to-corner): At least 7.5” when new, 7.3” after break-in
These ranges allow for performance-focused design choices that impact how the bag feels in your hand and how it plays on the board.
Template Size Breakdown:
Small Template Bags
-
Sized closer to the minimum ACL dimensions
-
Feel fuller and firmer due to denser fill
-
Ideal for precision shots (cuts, rolls)
-
Preferred by players who like a tight, controlled grip
Medium Template Bags
-
Balanced dimensions between minimum and maximum specs
-
Offer a middle ground between control and forgiveness
-
Great for players with a versatile throwing style
Large Template Bags
-
Near the upper limits of the ACL size range
-
Feel looser and more “floppy” in the hand
-
Slide and melt into the hole more easily
-
Best for players who prefer push shots and aggressive board play
Why Razor Cornhole Bags Are Large Template
At Razor Cornhole Bags, we craft large template bags across our entire lineup. Why?
Because we believe in maximizing hole-friendliness and comfort — two key performance traits our players demand. Large templates create a bag that melts into the hole, offers smoother pushes, and feels broken-in in less time.
If you want a bag that performs with pro-level smoothness and consistency — our large template bags are built for you.
Final Thoughts
Whether you’re dialing in your cut shot or need a bag that pushes through traffic, choosing the right template size can make all the difference. We encourage every player to try different sizes — but if you like floppy, forgiving, and hole-friendly, Razor’s large template bags will feel like home.
