There are more than a dozen different practice disc golf baskets on the market today. While the general idea of them all is essentially the same, the functionality, advantages, and quality greatly differ.
In our efforts to determine the best disc golf practice basket for less than $200, we are testing the top disc golf baskets.
We have four of the best putting local disc golfers testing out the different portable baskets while comparing advantages/disadvantages of each. We are keeping track of the number of makes, chain outs, made-misses (bad throws that still happen to go in) and make percentage of each basket.
During our first basket test section, we tested the:
- Dynamic Discs Recruit Basket
- Westside Black Basket
- MVP Yellow Jacket Hive Double Chain
- Discmania Lite Basket
- Gateway Bullseye
- Dynamic Discs Marksman
Each tester threw 30 putts on each basket from 18, 25 and 33 feet. A few notables from our first round of more than 2,000 test putts.
We made more total putts on the Dynamic Discs Recruit basket than any of the other baskets in the set. The Westside Black Basket placed second followed by the Yellow Jacket Hive and Discmania Lite. To no surprise, the DD Marksman and Gateway Bullseye yielded the least made putts.
In terms of "spit outs" to no surprise the Dynamic Discs Marksman one. For the "traditional size" baskets the Discmania Lite was the least reliable basket with a 5.5% spit out rate. The Dynamic Discs recruit was the most reliable with only a .83% spit out rate.
