Yes. DGA Mach Lite. This has without a doubt made me a better putter. Highly recommended.

I have an Innova Discatcher Pro and won a Westside Black Basket a while back in a running CTP fundraiser. Get two baskets

DGA Mach Lite that my brother in law (who doesn't play) found at a garage sale for $60. He called me up and said, "hey, I think I'm looking at a disc golf basket here, are you interested in it?". Had him text me a pic and the answer was a resounding "hell yes, buy it". Has definitely made me a better putter.
Shopping for a new place with some land, will probably move in the next year or so. Something with enough space for a few holes (maybe even 9) is a part of the criteria. Eyeballing MVP Portals for that.

I bought a DISCatcher portable within weeks of when they started offering them for sale (when the Mach I patent expired)....without looking it up, I'm thinking 1998 plus or minus a year or two. Pretty sure they were $300 at the time.
It's now in a ground-sleeve in my back yard.

This thread has me wanting to buy another MACH II and start on the first backyard hole.
Yeah, my dream is to have a few acres to be able to have a few baskets and some teepads for a little practice course. However, hopefully I can end up with a yard big enough to have an actual basket and some landscaping marking off every 5 feet from it for putting practice
But I'm in college right now so I make do with the green spaces around my apartment complex
DGA M14 with another set of outer chains added. Works great, stays outside year round and still looks great.
Would like to get another basket eventually.

Yes, that is the best investment in your game you can make, so long as you use it !
I have a Discatcher Sport, btw.

Discatcher Sport from my brother when he realized being a lawyer didn't give him enough time to play.

Love Mach Is. There are a few left at some of the Steady Ed courses in the area. So fun to putt on them.

A lot of people hate on them - and for good reason since they are artifacts of our sport - but if you can putt on a Mach 1 you can putt on any modern basket, no problem.

I did something similar when I finally got a yard.
…these are 5m, 6m, 7m (also have 8-10) for the Finnish putting game.

I think knowing that I'm putting on a pretty important artifact is what makes me love them so much. They definitely, as Moose said, aren't the worst catchers. I would love to have one in the yard. Very jealous sir.

I got my Mach III in similar fashion when Knob Hill received new baskets for Worlds last year.
