Most people pick their bag based on the fabric and the colorway. That's fair — you're going to look at these things for hours. But the fill inside the bag is doing as much work as the fabric outside it, and most players never think about it until something feels off.
All three Cornographix fills are and available across the lineup. Here's what's actually happening inside each one — and why it matters.
The Three Fills at a Glance
The Rez — Built for Consistency
The Rez uses standard resin beads at a density that produces a firm, flat bag with minimal settling. When you throw it, it feels like you're throwing exactly the same bag every time — which is exactly what precision players want.
The trade-off: The Rez takes longer to break in than Slip. The beads need to work against each other for a few hundred throws before the bag reaches peak performance. Players coming from a bagged corn background often find The Rez underwhelming right out of the package. Give it 300–500 throws before you judge it.
Who should pick The Rez: If you're an intermediate-to-advanced player who values consistency over feel and you're okay investing break-in time, this is your fill.
CX3 — The Smart Choice for Learning
CX3 was designed with one goal: make the game more forgiving for players who are still developing their throw. The blended fill creates a bag that has more give in the hand — it molds slightly to your grip instead of sitting rigid.
This makes it easier to release consistently. The bag doesn't fight your hand the way a firmer fill can when your mechanics aren't fully grooved yet. For players stepping up from backyard bags to tournament-grade equipment, CX3 closes the gap.
It's also the fill we recommend for people who play multiple nights a week in different environments. CX3 is less sensitive to temperature and humidity swings than The Rez, so your bags play more similarly across indoor/outdoor transitions.
Who should pick CX3: New tournament players, recreational competitors, and anyone who plays in varied environments.
Slip — Ready on Throw One
Slip uses a finer bead with a higher fill density — more beads in the same space means they shift more freely against each other. The result is a bag that feels pre-broken-in from the first throw.
This is a significant advantage if you're playing a tournament weekend starting Saturday morning. With The Rez, you're throwing a stiff bag during prelims. With Slip, you're throwing peak-performance bags from the first round.
The downside of Slip: because it moves freely right away, it can feel too loose for players who like a firm feel. If you've been throwing Rez for years and switch to Slip without adjusting your throw, you'll over-slide everything for the first hour.
Who should pick Slip: Experienced players who know their game, players who compete regularly, and anyone who's tired of waiting for break-in.
Does the Fill Change the Speed Rating?
Yes — but not as much as fabric does. The same bag with Slip will play approximately half a speed point faster than The Rez on the same surface, all else being equal. This is because the beads resist lateral movement differently.
For most players the difference is subtle. For elite players who are tuned in to their exact speed window, it matters. If you're throwing a 7/9 bag and want it to play exactly like a 7/9, The Rez gives you the most predictable result. Slip will push it slightly toward a 7.5.
Which One Should You Order?
- New to tournaments: CX3 — it'll be forgiving while you dial in your game
- 1–2 years tournament experience: The Rez — build consistency, break them in properly
- 3+ years / competing regularly: Slip — you know your throw, trust the fill
- Not sure: Order The Rez. It's the baseline. You'll know if you want something different after 500 throws.
All three fills are available across the entire Cornographix lineup. You pick the bag, you pick the fill. The price is the same regardless of which fill you choose.
