In the world of cornhole, you may hear players refer to bags as having small, medium, or large "templates." While these terms aren't official measurements, they generally describe how full or "puffy" a bag feels in the hand — not the actual size of the bag.
Under ACL (American Cornhole League) rules, all approved bags must meet strict size and weight standards:
-
Length/Width: 6" × 6" (with an accepted tolerance between 5.75" and 6.25")
-
Thickness: 1.3" (accepted range between 1.1" and 1.5")
-
Weight: 16 oz (accepted range between 15.5 oz and 16.5 oz)
-
Diagonal: Minimum of 7.5" when new, 7.3" when broken in
Because of these standards, there isn't a true "small," "medium," or "large" template based on dimensions alone — all bags must fall within the same official ranges. However, the way a bag is filled, stitched, and broken in can create a different feel and appearance, making some bags seem fuller or floppier compared to others.
At Razor Cornhole, our bags are crafted to meet ACL standards, with width often near the minimum and thickness built for a fuller feel. As bags break in, the sides naturally expand, which can pull the corners inward and slightly shrink the diagonal measurement. By designing our bags close to the minimum width and ensuring proper structure from the start, we help our bags stay comfortably within ACL-approved size and diagonal ranges even after heavy use. The result is a solid, reliable throw with consistent control — from your first game through hundreds more.
So while "small," "medium," and "large" template terms are common ways players talk about bag feel, every Razor bag is built to tournament standards — giving you pro-level consistency no matter how you describe it.
