cone basket

[MarkDSM]

All the old cone threads are old and locked... so no where for my babble.

The is a basket in the back corner of a garage. I am fuzzy on the whole back story, but it was once a course basket long ago.

Love it. The second or third course I ever played, and the place I really got hooked, Hansen Park in St. Paul, MN, uses them. Alot of people won't play with them, but I sure wish I had one of my own.

Geez those look weird to putt on, I would miss the chain noise. It's part of the satisfaction

Do these work? They look like they'd be pretty "fair" catching devices with clear good and bad spots to hit.

But even the best chain-based targets have certain foibles. You don't necessarily know until that one unlucky reaction. Anyone played extensively on the cone targets?

they work

you have to putt "differently" than on chain ones

smaller sweet spot and you need to throw softer or else it will ricochet out

i wouldnt call my play "extensively" but ive thrown over a handful of rounds on them

oddly enough i enjoy them for the history and novelty factor but i def prefer chains

My neighbor has one. Putt softer and nose down, and they "grab" pertty well.

I don't think the idea was to "grab"

I think the idea was for the basket to catch the disc after it was deflected by the "cone" or chains...

I think that is what most people don't understand about the original plans for the disc golf target.

Oh. I get it.

It requires far better angle control and touch. It deflects. It doesn't grab at all. That's why I used quotes.
