Im fairly new to DG but my son is semi pro (rating 950). Weve been practicing with this for a week, and have found it to be an excellent purchase.
Contrary to another post / it dos NOT tip over, even when he ripped a disc at it. On a level surface that is. It comes with four tent stakes to optionally anchor it but we never needed them.
Very easy to put together. Fairly close to PDGA specs (see photos). Chains are noticeably lighter than standard course baskets, but thats GOOD for practice since it makes it a tad harder to get the disc in the basket. The basket walls are slanted inwards from top to bottom / top is 26 and bot is 21.5 diam, where most course baskets only reduce in diam by about an inch or so. Again, this is GOOD for practice, since occasionally it allows a disc to slide through when it wouldnt have on the course.
The welds that hold the bolts and nuts for the center pole seem to be solid, and I seriously doubt that if you were somehow able to knock the thing over, that anything would be harmed.
Easy to put together (from box to complete in 4 min). Light enough to easily carry from garage to yard.
The only problem is that there are two different/length poles provided, 21 and 26 the instructions do not say or chow which should be below the basket and which should be between the basket and hanger.
However, checking the PDGA specs makes it clear the longer 26 pole with the label on it should be between the basket and the hanger (ie in the middle).
Great Basket for the Price
