will the Black Hole Pro HD be PDGA "standard" rated? or will it be "basic" like the Black Hole Pro, and fabric baskets like skillshot, mach lite, etc?
It is a standard rated basket but of much superior quality and function of the fabric baskets.
How? People have used the reg. Pros with no complaints on events from posts here and these are just an improved version. Buy portals if course installed type quality is the concern?
I think I'm about to grab one of these Black Hole Pros. Especially after reading through this thread. I'm wondering tho, has anyone had any experience just leaving theirs outside all the time? I can garage or cover if needed, but ideally I'd just leave it in my backyard all the time. It sounds like either way, this is the best basket for the money. Just wondering if I need to be worried about rust and such. Thoughts?
They aren't allowed in B tiered PDGA tournaments, like Provincial Championships; so if if you were to buy 18 baskets for a pop up course, you couldn't buy the Black hole Pro or Black Hole Pro HD basket.
This does seem a little strange. I ran 6 PDGA c tier events on them last year and they work better as a basket than something like the Mach V. Only complaint I got about them was visibility was poor (I've added reflective bands) and there was one 400' ace spit out, but TBH that could have happened on any basket. I've had people telling me they have had the best putting rounds of their lives on them.
Ah i see what you mean. Im surprised they are not compared to some of the others on the list but have no idea what makes one basic/standard/ champ..
No doubt they are great baskets and catch well! I have a MVP black Hole Pro myself and when I heard they were upgrading it with an "HD" model, I was hopeful they would modify the dimensions so they would be be upgraded from PDGA "C" tier, to PDGA "B" tier level.
So, perhaps PDGA should modify their standards and allow a variance then if these baskets catch so well?
I modified my practice basket to be within the championship basket specs by lengthening the two poles by ~3" each.
How did you lengthen them? and do you mean 3 cms each
Anybody own the Pro HD yet? I'm looking to buy one and they seem to be out of stock at most places besides Amazon. Knowledge of any deals to be had on these would be appreciated!
