Carpet bags generally play slower than non-suede fabric bags. The carpet was designed to be stickier. Because of this extra stickiness, it’s easier to perform cut shots, roll shots, and bounce shots with carpet bags. Carpet bags can be harder to use for players who do not throw a perfectly flat bag. There are multiple types of carpet bags: herringbone, hyrbid, and regular carpet.

The regulation distance for a set of cornhole boards should be 27 feet. This measurement goes from the front of one board to the front of the other. As far as measuring cornhole distances before playing, you have a few different options. Approximately 9-10 paces should get you to roughly 27 feet. Obviously this can be a little more or a little less depending on how long your paces are.
