The Titan is classic Gateway. The basket attachment and chain assembly were designed for a certain size pipe, then they realized that it was an obscure diameter and they could get a slightly smaller pipe for 1/2 the price. So they went with the cheaper pipe, and the chain assembly and basket attachment don't fit snuggly and all end up leaning.Those things are ridiculous. We played a course in FL that had Titans and it has to be the stoutest basket with the weakest attaching hardware (they were all tilted in some way).

They also are not approved for PDGA play. When they were making the basket attachment they called the PDGA and asked for the legal diameter. Somebody on the phone gave them a number. Gateway never clarified if it was the inside or outside diameter and guessed it was the inside diameter. It was the outside diameter and the basket attachment was slightly too large to be legal. The Tech Standards have been relaxed and the Titan may be legal sized now, but GDS has not sent it back in for testing.
The flip side is that the chain configuration and the larger back chains really make this basket catch. The design they came up with was a great catching basket. The execution of bringing it to market has been awful.
