Bag Manufacturer: Olympus Cornhole Speed Rating : 6/9 The Hercules is a hybrid carpet, that has become immensely popular in the cornhole scene. The slow side tends to stay truer to its speed than most other hybrid carpets. While most are heavily affected by humidity and changing board conditions this fabric remains relatively consistent. The “speed rating” would be considered a 6/9 via most companies that have used these materials. We are however doing something a touch different in the manufacturing process that aids in that fast side staying on the quicker end of 9 really allowing the thrower to blow through just about every pile in your path and collect those bags on the sides. The template is a touch larger but not too much bigger than the standard ‘Kratos’ template. The bag tends to be fuller in nature but is extremely malleable. In testing we have stretched sets to get them very floppy, and broken sets in on high heat to shrink them to your liking. So however you like it, it can fit your style! The resin in this bag is a proprietary blend that we have found to aid in hole friendliness, while not ‘kicking’ unless intending to do so via a cut shot. This bag has the perfect blend to really take on every scenario you throw in its path. With this bag, be ready to climb atop those podiums just like Hercules did Mount Olympus!Break in method:In testing we found that the best way to break in this bag is to warm water soak for 12 minutes, rotating every 3 minutes. Proceed to drain the bags of any excess water prior to proceeding to the next step. Then dry on no heat, in a temp tied pillowcase for 1 hour. Fabric softener or other altering methods will cause the bag to not play as intended and will break warranty. **Comes In a Set of 4** Big Tex Series Approved for TCL Events
