To anyone wondering about break in method. I just got these bags today, they had a stiff feeling but it was mostly because of the liner inside, threw them for about an hour or 2 to kinda break that liner down and they’re pretty much game ready, don’t need to do anything special, maybe a water soak and massage and you’ll be good to go.
Hey Mike, just an idea for a video, but could you do a video talking about anything and everything about bags? Such as template, fill, what the fill does to the bags, floppy or full, sharp corners and round corners, fast or slow, and how to choose what bag is for you? Recently I've been getting my friends and fam into cornhole, and they keep asking me questions about bags, or why the bag reacts so differently from each other when they switch. I explain it the best I can, but I think you could do a better way of explaining everything as everything I learned about bags has been mostly from you.
The bullseye is my all-time fav bag. How do the Tremors compare to them as far as fullness/flop? Also, would you say the tremor's slow side is faster or slower than the bulleye's slow side?
I emailed the True Cornhole guy David, and he said that out of the 5-speed hybrid carpet bags (Tremor, Aftershock, and Bullseye) the Bullseye is the most full due to smaller template size and fill. So these would be a little floppier/looser. I have the Bird of Prey (4.5 speed slow side) and it's pretty darn full. The slow side also takes a while to break in; it's thick! I love them
@@davidwestwood2457 I've never thrown the Bird of Prey but they are on the list. He did say that people were liking the floppier style bags he is producing which has been all of his newer stuff. I have the go-to's and aftershocks which are great but I don't throw anything as good as the bullseye.
@@Tish-vi9xh Yeah, I like them a lot. Like I said, they take a while to break in. I soaked them with a 1/4 cup of vinegar for 30 minutes which helped. They're definitely right in between the 5-speed hybrids and Viking carpet. Mike's review is spot on from my experience. How full or floppy are the Gotos? I'm about to order a set of the Bullseyes 🤣
@@davidwestwood2457 Yea I like the vinegar soak as well. I agree Mike has been spot on with the reviews. The go-to's are very similar to the aftershocks in terms of floppiness. It's a herringbone style and very similar in every aspect to the Big D Bowie's if you've thrown those.
The easy answer would be ACL - Guardian X, ACO - Tremor. Both are great bags. I don't rank/pick bags over other bags because there are too many factors and variables to do that accurately.
Swag Bags uses a liner in their 2024 Chaos and Bazooka. I don't know if any other ACL companies that are using a performance liner. Some companies use a liner but it's there to protect the material and not to improve performance.
I am looking to build up my collection of hybrid carpet bags and wondering which of the true cornhole bags you would recommend most. Slight priority on forgiveness for someone that doesn't have a perfectly flat bag all the time and would compliment the southwest jefe and big d Marilyn for different board condotions and partners in blind draws. Thanks in advance!

Watch enough of Mike's videos and you'll figure it out easy!!
@@davidwestwood2457 my fam and friends don't have that kind of time sadly🥲
Do you even watch Mike's videos? Mike covers everything from materials, play styles, price and even cheaper/better options.
Another great review! Keep it up

@@davidwestwood2457 Think I'll get the bird of prey next. Appreciate the info!!!

Mike, so if you had to pick, gun to your head... Tremor or Guardian X?
I’m not sure where you play cornhole, but I’ve never had to decide between 2 bags with a gun to my head…
The easy answer would be ACL - Guardian X, ACO - Tremor. Both are great bags. I don't rank/pick bags over other bags because there are too many factors and variables to do that accurately.
@@MikesBags which one is fuller??
@@ICheat_ILie_ISteal Neither. I talk about the fullness of the bags and show it in the reviews.
@@MikesBags damn that suck... I guess its the X-H or Dart for a fuller feel huh.
Damn true cornhole still aint give my boy mike a promo code. Thats wild
It's a shame actually. True Cornhole, do better.
So did I hear you right. These very very similar to the Titan Darts?
Same materials as the Dart. These have the liner and a little more flop. That makes these more forgiving and more hole friendly, in my opinion.
Is there any ACL companies that use a Liner?
Swag bag chaos and bazooka use that liner.
@@ICheat_ILie_ISteal I own them and they def don’t
@@daveblue2229 contact swag bag and ask them. Maybe swag bag added the liner for the 2025 bag only?

Hi Mike, just watching the podcast and have an idea for your channel name ....
Mic'd Mike
These or Guardian X r?
Depends on what you need acl or aco. Use code kv13 for 10% of brotherhood. I just picked up the x-H and its my new go to bag
I was going to ask same thing, lol. Can’t stop won’t stop
Or Buffalo soldier?
@@ICheat_ILie_ISteal Soldier is on the floppy side of medium. They are definitely nice if you don't mind a medium floppy bag
