BG Wizard Alternative: Cornhole Addicts Whiplash (6/9)
The Wizard is one of BG’s most popular all-around fast bags at 6/9. The Whiplash matches it exactly. Its 6 side still moves on slower boards, and its 9 side glides into the hole.
- Speed: 6/9 (same as the Wizard)
- Best for: Aggressive players and slick boards
- Price: $78, free shipping
The Whiplash is also our closest match for BG’s faster series, like the Omen, Kingslayer and Shatter. It plays a touch slower on both sides.
BG Assassin & Mercenary Alternative: Cornhole Addicts Fixation (5/9)
The Assassin and Mercenary are both rated 5/9. The Fixation matches them exactly, with a controllable 5 side for blocks and a fast 9 side for pushes and slide-ins.
- Speed: 5/9 (same as the Assassin and Mercenary)
- Best for: League players who want control plus scoring speed
- Price: $78, free shipping
BG Viking Alternative: Cornhole Addicts Blackened (4/8)
The Viking is BG’s mid-speed control bag at 4/7. The Blackened has the same 4 stick side for placement and blocks, with a bit more glide on the slick side.
- Speed: 4/8 (BG Viking: 4/7)
- Best for: Control players and newer competitive throwers
- Price: $78, free shipping
