LOL Yeah, I just dont know about the plastic holding up and not sure about staking it in to place it. I keep researching the baskets that are out there, trying to stay cheap but I dont want crap either.

keep comming back to the Skillshot.

Here's some info about the basket in question.

Plastic doesn't rust!!

All plastic, and brought to you by our freinds at Quest AT. Makers of the most groundbreaking discs (tongue firmly in cheek) in all of disc golf!!
Actually, just like everyone else, they make some good discs (Defender, T-bone, 10m Brick) and some real crap (The wheel, anyone?). It's just that they're not afraid to take a risk and I can admire that.

Right......So not a single person has tossed a disc into this thing???!!!

Wow. I wanna buy one now.

I am curious how it is, I like the idea of it being quieter

Or maybe i'll just dig up some old Legos and make one.

In my planned home made basket I'm going to do the chains like this. One row, real chains but with the linking chains being the cheaper plastic chain (anybody follow that?).

Never threw on one though so it will be interesting to see how it works out.

I went with the instep. The plastic just makes me too nervous. Sure, it wont rust but its durability otherwise is what worries me.

Those plastic baskets are 80 bucks at a disc golf pro shop near me. Id rather have metal basket like an instep for 75 bucks.

I've got one, and it catches the disc nicely, pretty much as well as one out on the course. The chains come apart occasionally, but are easy enough to put back together. I did break one chain link at the top where it attaches to the top. One problem with it though is that the sides of the basket are too open and discs would fall through. That was fixed in about 5 minutes with a bit of string. I don't know how it would hold up out in the weather, as mine stays in the shop 24/7. It's cool being able to practice putting at work.

I wound up getting the Instep. I eventually found it shipped for enough less that I just couldnt find justification to pay more for another. Thats one more nice Christmas present for my son difference.

Problem is, it is going to be for my from Santa so even though it shipped today, I wont be able to touch it until Christmas.:thmbdown:
