When it comes to cornhole bags, finding the right balance between speed, feel, and design can make all the difference in your game. The Titan Swarm Cornhole Bags promise a unique experience with their bold aesthetics and innovative materials. After avoiding Titan bags for some time, I finally decided to give the Swarm a try, and I was pleasantly surprised by what I discovered. Here’s my detailed review of these intriguing bags.

First Impressions and Design
I have avoided Titan bags for a long time for no really good reason. I think some of their designs are corny and childish looking. It’s the only reason I haven’t pulled the trigger on getting a set of tyrants yet. I don’t want to throw a bag with a dinosaur on it. I’m not 6 years old. However, the swarms actually look pretty cool. I dig the angry yellow jacket. Plus the color mix on these are pretty awesome too.
Material and Feel
Titan Swarm Cornhole Bags have a unique material feel and composition. The slow side feels like a foam/rubber material, which is unusual but kind of nice. It’s a bit slick in hand, so it might take some getting used to. However, the fabric is not very flexible, making the slow side less hole-friendly. On the other hand, the fast side is made of a much softer fabric, which is extremely hole-friendly. The bag tends to steer towards the hole when it hits the board, which is pretty impressive.
My concerns were quickly subsided once I saw, felt, and threw these bags. The quality is very good, and the feel in hand is fantastic! The bags are plushy soft and have a nice flex to them without being overly saggy, making for a very hole-friendly bag.
Performance and Usage
Despite the listed speed of 7 for the fast side, it plays more like a 9. This bag is fast—if you miss on the fast side, it’s likely to slide right off the board. The bag is fairly full and feels good in hand, but it’s quirky. It’s not my favorite 6-speed bag because it’s not hole-friendly enough, and it’s not my favorite 9-speed bag because it’s probably faster than a 9. I’m going to give them a few more weeks before deciding whether to keep them or sell/trade them.
This has become one of my favorite bags. The only thing I wish would make this bag just about perfect for me would be to have the slower side speed down. I find that 6 and 9 are too close in speed to gain significant control when switching sides. Additionally, it doesn’t offer as much gripping power when used as a blocker. All that being said, I am very pleased with these bags and plan to get the 6/3 Thrasher model, which I believe should be more ideal for my throwing style and skill level.
Conclusion: Innovation and Potential
I applaud Titan for experimenting with new materials. It’s refreshing to throw something different after using so many bags made from SureFire materials. Titan offers options, and if they improve their design choices, they could become one of my favorite companies. I’ll dive deeper into this in my Titan Venom Cornhole bags review.
