What size are regulation boards?

Regulation boards are usually two feet by four feet with a six-inch hole. Smaller sets are easier to carry but play a little differently.

Are corn-filled or resin-filled bags better?

Resin-filled bags cope better with damp grass and don't attract pests. Corn-filled bags have a traditional feel but can break down if they get wet.
