Ultra Bag Crack – The Ultimate Break-In
Every day someone’s got a new “perfect” trick for breaking in cornhole bags—run them over, boil ’em, dunk them in mystery chemicals or your sister’s hair potion. But all that just beats up the outside while the real problem stays untouched: INSIDE. Ultra actually understands what happens inside a battle-tested bag—and we’ve engineered the fastest, slickest way to get yours tournament-ready in no time: Break-in your bags with Bag Crack.
Ultra Bag Crack
The Breaks:
Breaking in a set of cornhole bags involves two primary mechanical processes—fabric conditioning and resin smoothing.
1. Fabric Conditioning
During manufacturing, fabric mills apply a stabilizing binder to one side of the material to prevent fraying prior to sewing. This binder is typically located on the interior surface of most cornhole bags. As the bags are used, this binder gradually breaks down, allowing the fabric to relax and soften—much like how denim becomes increasingly pliable after repeated washing and wear. Effective break-in accelerates this transition from rigid to supple.
2. Resin Smoothing
Inside the bag, the resin fill undergoes a process engineers refer to as surface smoothing. In this process, the constant internal movement causes the resin’s initially rough edges to wear down into more uniform, polished surfaces. The effect is similar to rock tumbling and significantly impacts the bag’s long-term playability. Over more than a decade of observation, we’ve consistently documented the difference between newly manufactured resin and resin that has naturally smoothed through extended use.
Where Bag Crack Makes the Difference
Bag Crack is engineered to optimize both of these break-in mechanisms. It’s formulation targets compounds present in the fabric binders and in the plastic resin itself. By reacting with these compounds, Bag Crack accelerates binder breakdown and promotes faster resin surface smoothing. How? Compounds in the resin react with Bag Crack, some dissolving making the resin easier to smooth, especially the edges and high points in the resin as well as any residue on the resin from the manufacturing processes being removed or dissolved. Similar compounds in the fabric binders are also attacked by the Bag Crack making their attachment to the fabric weaker and allowing the fabric to achieve maximum flex faster than throwing alone would achieve. The result: fabric that becomes flexible in a fraction of the time and resin that achieves a polished, consistent feel without excessive manual wear.
Bag Crack delivers a faster, more controlled, and more predictable break-in—giving players game-ready performance right out of the gate.

Inside-Out:
Stop wasting time breaking in your bags from the outside. Bag Crack delivers faster results with minimal effort by targeting the two real causes of stiffness—dissolving internal fabric binders and smoothing the resin from the inside out. The result? Softer, smoother, game-ready bags while you watch your favorite show. This is science-backed, next-level performance
Bag Crack Break-In is easy with 4 simple steps.
Proven to Win:
Does Bag Crack work? We’ve put it to the test. At Ultra the team has broken in thousands of bags. With Bag Crack we’ve cut the time down from new in-plastic to game ready. We’ve also gotten the resin to smooth quicker with Bag Crack. Our Team players have used it and it’s winning for them. Bags are softer and more hole friendly. Even their partners are noticing the difference. Give Bag Crack a try. You’ll be glad you did.
