Slick Woody's Pro Series Cornhole Boards - Professional Signature vs Slick Woody's Geometric Wood Cornhole Boards - Backyard
Which should you buy? Our verdict on both, pulled from our full The Best Cornhole Sets: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) comparison.
Slick Woody's Pro Series is the pick - regulation 4x2 boards, the signature slick surface, leg and back bracing and 8 bags at a flagship price. The Backyard tier delivers the same playing surface and 8 bags for less. The Trex composite set is the weatherproof it-depends at the top of the range. Skip the Micro Bag Toss as a cornhole gift - it is a tabletop novelty, and its maker says so.
Slick Woody's Pro Series Cornhole Boards - Professional Signature
Buy itRegulation 4x2 boards with the signature slick surface, bracing and 8 bags - the serious set.
- True regulation spec: full 4x2-foot boards with leg and back brace supports, per Slick Woody's listing.
- The signature playing surface: a smooth finish that lets a bag slide on a soft toss and grip on a hard one.
- Complete set: 8 bags included and a cut-in carry handle on each board for the tailgate.
- Flagship money - the top of the wood range, not the budget one.
- Full-size plywood boards are portable, not featherweight; Slick Woody's does not publish a board weight.
Slick Woody's Geometric Wood Cornhole Boards - Backyard
Buy itThe same slick surface and regulation size in the backyard build, for less.
- Same essentials: regulation 4x2 footprint, the signature slick playing surface and 8 bags.
- Costs less than the Pro Series for what is, to the arm, the same game - the smart buy for most households.
- Geometric wood-grain designs (walnut stripes, cherry triangles, oak arrows) that read as furniture, not toy.
- The Backyard listing does not call out the leg and back bracing or the cut-in carry handles the Pro listing does.
- Still premium money - "budget" only relative to the brand's own pro line.
