5 Reasons You Should Purchase ACL Cornhole Bags
With new companies popping up left and right, you may think - why should I buy cornhole bags with the ACL stamp? Is there really a difference? Why can't I just use the bags I got at the sporting goods store? Here are our top reasons why you should purchase ACL Cornhole Bags.
1. Official Cornhole Bags Size & Weight
The American Cornhole League has set the standard for cornhole equipment. Every bag that has the stamp has been qualified by the ACL to meet their stringent regulations for all three stamp levels (Pro, Comp, Rec) so you will be playing with true tournament, professional cornhole bags.
2. ACL Gear Means No Corn Fill
ACL does not allow corn fill. All bags must use resin fill which means your bags will not get moldy and start sprouting plants out of them or attracting unwanted rodents looking for a snack.
3. ACL Event Approved
ACL sets the standards and continues to grow the sport of cornhole. If you aren't already part of the ACL and are looking to join a league or start playing competitively, then look no further! All ACL sanctioned events do require you to have an ACL stamped bag to ensure your equipment is up to regulation standards.
4. Fabric = Strategic Game Play
Bags purchased at big box stores or sporting goods stores are traditionally made of duck cloth or have the same fabric on each side. ACL cornhole bag manufacturers develop bags for specific conditions and play styles. If you are looking for a bag made for any condition, slick and stick bags are a great option. One side is slick and hole-friendly, and the other side is slow for placing strategic blocks during gameplay.
5. ACL Bags Look Awesome!
Seriously. This is not a joke! Cornhole bag design has come a long way and when you pull out your ACL approved, limited edition cornhole bags that are a piece of artwork, everyone will want to be your partner!
This is not to say that there are no unstamped bags that are good quality. But the ACL has taken the guesswork out of the shopping process for you. If there is a stamp, you know you are getting professional quality and a brand you can trust.
