Do you own a practice basket?

Anything that goes 'clang' counts.
Hmm.
18 holes in my back yard, plus a few extra baskets scattered around out there, and 2 practice baskets in my front yard for putting, and 3 travelers for a total of 26 practice baskets.

Guessing 10-20 acres?

I just bought a cheap ($109 shipped) one from Titan Fitness. I hope it is at least serviceable for a backyard basket!

Currently have 2 baskets. An MVP Black Hole Pro that I putt on almost every day, which I leave out in the middle of my backyard. And an Innova Traveler that I hardly ever use anymore.
I had three up until recently, when I sold my modified Instep to a local disc golfer in need. I kinda miss that basket, as it was my first "real" basket. After the modifications, it actually caught really well.
Eventually I plan on buying either an MVP Portal, or an Innova Discatcher.

You're catching up fast.
Owned a few and sold many
They all work and cheaper versions will last a long time if you don't leave them outside regularly.

I'm of the philosophy that you don't need to spend a lot of money for practice baskets. You want them to catch decently, but if your good throws bounce out, you still executed and know you executed a good throw.
I often practice putting on an M-14 with some added chains, that catches decently, and an old tri-state that was re-chained, and catches erratically. The important thing in practice is to hit the target. I don't see much difference in that, and when I practice on top-level baskets.

Yup.
I have a modified Instep basket. I think it was $89 from Amazon when I got it. After I had had it a while I added an inner set of chains. Surprised at how well it catches. I try to putt 10-15 mins every day. I keep the basket inside and throw 10-12 putts about every time I walk by it.
I also have about 2 acres of land which is mostly trees. I have one 210' lane that's about 25-30' wide in the front that I throw on almost every day. Sometimes I'll make 10-12 throws after work and some days I'll make 100 or more. I've lost more discs in my own yard than I ever have on a course. lol. When discs get under the leaves they're tough to find. I raked a huge section in the woods looking for a tbird that hit a tree. Never did find that disc.

I've got a Prodigy & a Gateway Titan but neither one are mine!
3 of them. DB5, Innova Sport and an InStep.

It was a gift so I'm not positive. For practice, backyard course the Mach IIs are great. Hot dipped galvanized for prolonged outdoor durability. Sturdy. Catch well.

Im happy to say im getting mine in this weekend! Bday present from the wife... shes tired of be breaking sh!t trying to putt across the house into laundry baskets and cat trees. 
i really wanted to jump on the black hole pro but ended up getting the #growthesport basket. Anyone got any feedback on that model? Figured i might have to add some heavier chains.
