Jeff Reynolds

I am ACL Pro Jeff Reynolds from the Mid East Conference and this is my story of becoming a pro player for the American cornhole league. I am also the owner of Reynolds Bags.

Let's take a moment to celebrate a true legend in the game – Jeff Reynolds, the man who's changed the way we look at Cornhole bags!

In 2010, Jeff started making and selling bags locally, no fancy website or marketing, just good old-fashioned passion for the game. He even made the first "carpet bag" around 2012, with a carpet material on the fast side and suede on the slow side. He was on a quest to find something that would perform like a dream even in the evening dew.

When the ACL was just starting out in 2016, allowing players to bring their own bags to tournaments, Jeff's material of choice was discontinued by the manufacturer. He went on a mission to scour every JoAnn Fabrics within a 100-mile radius, but luck wasn't on his side.

But here's where it gets exciting – Jeff stumbled upon the OG Carpet, a game-changer that still stands strong today. It featured a fast side with suede on the slow side, but the initial experiments were a bit of a disaster, with bags falling apart left and right.

However, Jeff wasn't one to give up easily, recognizing the potential in this game-changing material. That determination led to the birth of the Pro Edge Speed, a game-changing Cornhole bag that would revolutionize the entire industry. Which was followed shortly after by the bag still recognized by most today as the first carpet bag, the Pro Advantage!

So, hats off to Jeff Reynolds, the man who turned a simple idea into a Cornhole bag sensation. His dedication to the game and passion for innovation has left an indelible mark on the Cornhole world.
