I've installed hundreds of baskets and played on thousands. I've have installed and played on many raised baskets from a few inches to you have to walk up a spiral ladder to get your disc out. When throwing, announcers praise discs on the low side and players relish the uphill putts. No one would rather putt downhill at a basket.
Why are there hardly any low (intentionally installed that way) baskets. I'm not talking about gimmick in the ground ball golf style baskets. Baskets that are a foot lower. Nose down or floating putts would have a hard time making a putt. The angle of approach closes and effectively makes the baskets smaller when putting down hill.
If you eliminate the discussion from traditionalists that only like a standardized height...
What do you all think about lower than normal disc golf baskets as a design element?
Why do we not see as many of them?
(I understand why DGPT does it...for the sponsor area)
