Ultra Cornhole Widow Bag – 2023 ACL Pro Series – Retiring
Widow is retiring and this is the final run. The 2023 ACL stamp ensures that players (not pros) can use this bag for an additional two seasons (2024 and 2025). The Widow features control dots on the slow side. It is a firmer bag for those who want more action on the board and control in the hand. The fast side is medium speed. This bag does work best when broken in with our 1hr Break-In Kit.
Please read the description below before purchasing. ***Before You Purchase*** read the new terms in the description below.
Terms for Purchasing these Widow Bags: The customer must agree to these addition terms regarding the Widow bag prior to completing their order. There are a few things we want to bring to the customer’s attention to prevent questions and concerns later on.
- The limit for this release is two sets per household. If we determine that you were able to purchase more then we will refund all your orders no questions asked.
- Raffling our bags online is prohibited. If you are a known raffler, your order will be canceled.
- Ordering bags with the intent to resell for more than the purchase price is prohibited. Our limited inventory is meant for customers, not resellers.
- Orders will take 1-10 business days to ship from our shop in San Diego, CA. When they ship, you should receive a confirmation from us with tracking information. Shipping takes 1-3 business days. Please do not contact us regarding the status of your order until 10 business days from the order date to keep our staff busy working on shipping orders rather than answering questions. Your cooperation is much appreciated. If you have the order number, then we have your order and are working on it.
- Caution: Cosmetic white spots are possible!! Durability of the Widow bag is very good. Not prone to snags like the Vapor or Viper. However there may be slight cosmetic defects due to fabric fuzz stuck to the bag during processing. The fuzz is difficult to see during inspection and it comes loose and falls off after a few games. This will leave a white spot about the size of a pea. This is not covered under warranty because it does not impact bag performance or durability. If it bothers you, we recommend coloring the spot with ultra fine point Sharpies available from Amazon. We appreciate your support on this.

- Break in the bags using our 1-Hour Break-In Kit. Any other method of breaking in voids warranty. Boiling or excess heat could damage the bag!
About the Bag: The Widow has been tailored to be slightly firmer and slower than the Viper bag. The fast side is similar to the fast side of the Cobra bag. The slow side is similar to the fast side of the Cobra bag but it has the patent pending Speed Control technology pressed into them. The Speed Control on the Widow is slightly more than on the Viper. So you can expect the bag to play slower on both sides compared to the Vipers. Remember, the side with the Stars is the slower side (in most conditions). Speed Control is an array of dots that are arranged in a specific pattern to slow the speed down to a level near that of the X. The primary difference is the flex of the fabric is better and the friction around the edges are minimal. What this means is the bag is more capable of slipping into the hole. It is better at working around bags and going in the back door. It is more forgiving when the bag lands slightly on edge. This bag has been designed to be loose and forgiving but also controllable in the hand. Give this bag about 10-20 games to break in.

About Speed Ratings: Speed of bags is strongly dependent on the humidity level and the type of fabric. Cotton or duck bags will generally be very fast in hot/dry conditions and slow in cold/damp conditions. Synthetic fabric such as polyester will play much quicker in cold/damp conditions and is generally more predictable. Speed rating of “0” means the bag is so sticky that the bag will not move even when the board is tilted at a 60° angle. Speed rating of “10” means the bag will slowly move down the board at regulation board angle of 10.5°.
About Looseness Rating: Looseness is based on the stiffness of the fast side fabric. A tighter weave will generally produce a stiffer bag. Looseness rating of “0” means the bag is very stiff and is highly likely to clog the hole. A Looseness rating of “10” means the bag will slip into the smallest opening if the fast side speed rating is high.
About the stick side: Normally our bags come in two stick speeds, regular sticky and less sticky. The less sticky bags had an X after the name. But the Widow and Viper is different. It has new patent pending tech called Speed Control. This tech slows down the speed to a manageable slickness. Bags that are quick find the hole easier but if they are too quick they can find the ground even easier. So we try to target a balance of stick and slip and we believe we have achieved that.

These Widows have been awesome from the start. Feel fuller and firmer in the hand and are a bit slower than the Viper for when the board conditions are faster. The firmness creates a consistent feel without any drooping during my throwing motion.

By far the best bags I have thrown.

In the last 15 months, I’ve tried many brands and types of bags. Some met and/or exceed some of my wants and desires in a bag. A few have actually met met and exceeded many of my wants and desires in a bag. However, from the very first moment that I threw my Widows and every time since, the Ultra Widows have exceeded all of my wants and desires in a bag. From the firm feel in the hand to the flight characteristics to their action on the board and around the hole, these bags are the best! Kudo’s to Ultra Cornhole!

The widows are a bit stiff out of the box but seem to be breaking in nicely after 10 games or so I think the more they get used the better they will get .definetly a lot slower than the viper and they don’t fall in the hole the same way the viper does but that being said they are not broken in yet and I do expect better play from them once fully broken in ,the slow side is a lot slower than the viper I’d consider it slower than an x side ,its basically a cobra x without the suede so it’s going to droop in the hole as it breaks in more over all a decent bag but a little on the pricey side

The perfect bag, everybody has been throwing GC and I like them however I have been saying someone should make a bag with the looseness of the GC but somewhat slower, also its little firmer which makes it perfect for my throw. Well done Ultra!!

By far the best bag I have thrown. Great feel in my hand and is a perfect fit for my throwing style. I’ve have gotten rid of all other bags that I’ve owned and now exclussively throwing widows.

I got the newest Widows and I love them !!! I did a soak, wash, dry on them. Then, threw about 10 games with them, followed by a overnight soak session in the sink. I then repeated the wash and dry process and they came out BOMB! My friend got same ones and didn’t do break in like I did and mine came out with a better feel. Awesome bags!!!

Best bag I have owned as of yet, love the feel and hole friendliness of the bag. Did a warm water soak with Downy Ultra guard and washed with Dawn dish soap then air dried them. Tossed about 50 rounds the bags started to slip right in the hole no hanging up. High quality bag my favorite bag so far made by anybody as of yet. Recommended for any level of play the sticky side is get for beginners learning there throw and the fast side is fast enough to push and bully bags out the way.
