Best Portable, Foldable Disc Golf Practice Basket

We performed another round of disc golf tests to help determine the best portable/foldable disc golf basket.

There are currently three canvas style disc golf baskets available at InfiniteDiscs.com.

• Dga Mach Lite
• Innova Travler
• Innova Skillshot

Because of its light weight and high portability, we also included the DGA Mach 14 in this round of tests.

By far the highest rated of these three portable targets is the DGA Mach Lite. While the Traveler and the Skillshot are slighly lighter weight and more portable, by far the DGA Mach Lite has a more realistic catching experience.  If you're looking for a portable basket that is highly portable and provides a somewhat realistic course quality experience, this is clearly the way to go.

For this putting test we had 5 different disc golfers putt 30 times at each basket from three different distances: 18 Feet, 25 Feet and 33 Feet.
