> 24 hourThis is the perfect basket for backyard and field practice alike! Very easy assembly/dissasembly. The chains are pretty thick, causing some spit outs; however, this could be seen as a good thing as it forces you to develop a more solid putt. Besides that I havent had a single spit through. The only cons I can find with this basket is the weight. For a portable basket, it gets a bit tiring carrying it through a field! As another small note, I would have preferred the chains to be galvanized, rather than zinc coated, for more weather proofing. Regardless Ive left this basket out in the rain and couple times and its still good as new. Overall a great practice basket!

> 24 hourBest for the money! It is fantastic. Ordered on Dec. 26th 2016 Received on Jan 6th 2017 MVP (manufacturer) closed for the holidays. Seller, (Sun King Discs Sports) sent me a letter thanking me for the order, letting me know of the actual ship date, sticker and an Amazon coupon code. Great customer service by the seller. Packaging: Comes in marked and logoed MVP box. It would have been nice for unit to be wrapped in an additional outer box for extra protection and security. But everything was ok in shipping. Basket: Start with the round base. It is very sturdy and big enough for stable putting in the backyard. I will place mine on some concrete stepping stones just to keep it off the ground. The base also comes with ground spikes to further stabilize unit. All welds/paint look good. Lower pole: Lower pole screws into base. Simple, easy. Catch basket: Catch basket goes on top of lower pole. Catch basket is well made and sturdy. All welds/paint look good. Upper pole: Goes into lower pole with basket in-between. I have read reports of people filling the upper pole with foam sealant to deaden the sound. I will hold off (for now) as I like the rewarding banging chains. I may, however get some bright tape (electrician/duct/hunting) and place a strip on the upper pole as an aimpoint I have seen this done at local courses with automotive reflective tape. Top Rim: Professional looking top ring is what really sets this unit apart from all other home units on the market. Gives the unit a nice flair. Nice logo and graphics. Top Cap: Top cap installs above rim to hold everything together. Looking for a way I can add a dowel rod/pvc/pipe on top cap to hold a flag for windage. Hope MVP comes out with an accessory for a flag. Chains: Chains are nice zinc plated for non-permanent outdoor use. Nice feel and weight to the chains. Chains (inner or outer) are not removable unless you use two pairs of Vice-Grip to get s hook off. But why remove chains? Some people do ask that question. But, I bought this becouse of the double set of chains, just like the Profesional ones at the city park. Overall: A quality unit that will give years of use. I would recommend this brand/model to anyone looking for residential backyard practice (or fun). It will be nice to get guests into the sport with this unit. For me (male, 6ft tall 220 lbs) its not hard to move around. It comes apart easy if you want to put it in your car/auto trunk. However...unit may be to heavy for someone, that is where the folding type disc baskets would come in handy, as a space saver or lighter version. I plan to keep this covered with an bbq grill cover or under the patio when not in use, just to help keep it in great condition. Great job MVP, Sun King Discs and Amazon! Update: I did buy some thick, non-adhisive shelf liner (like tool box drawer liner) and wrapped the bottom half of the top pole with it. This gave the MVP Black Hole Pro a deeper tone when hit, got rid of the tinny sound. Also got some 1 1/2 to 1/2 pvc fitting and made a flag for the top so it now has a wind indicator.

> 24 hourNice middle row practice basket. The base is sturdy, I haven’t had it fall over yet and have smashed 45-50 footers. Chains quality is great, appearance is great. 2reasons I didnt give it 5 stars: it sits lower than regulation, and I have a bad habit of throwing outs low Which is why I needed a basket... second is I wish the actual basket was a littler more heavy duty. Assembly was a breeze.

> 24 hourThese do NOT mount to cage with supplied velcro. You have to get creative. We ended up sticking the top velcro piece to acetate, then poked hole for zip ties then mount to cage.

> 24 hourI wanted something that felt like being on the course. And this does for me...even without it being secured to the ground. We move the basket around fairly easily and the chains are thick and sticky. If you have any reservations about this product, rest assured, its solid.

> 24 hourNewby at Disc golf. We are not always able to get to the course, so this works well in our yard. It was easy to assemble, as Im sure it will be easy to disassemble for transportation. We have moved it around the yard with ease.
