Yaheetech Disc Golf Basket Portable Disc Golf Practice Set 12/24 Chain w/Basket Target and Double Steel Chains for Outdoor

We ordered three of these to place in our backyard so we could set up our own mini course. They arrived quickly and we were very impressed with the quality. They are all steel and very heavy and sturdy. They sit pretty stable on the ground but also come with small stakes that you can use to help secure them to the ground. They appear to be regulation size (or close, we aren't avid disc golfers). They look to be powder coated. Only time will tell how well they hold up if left outdoors. Assembly was easy and straightforward. I'd read reviews where the holes didn't line up, but I had no issues with that. The picture shows the unit being yellow but when it came, the box was labeled orange and the unit is VERY orange (which is fine. It just looks different than the picture.) Overall these appear to be the best value out there for the money. One review did mention a storage bag. Mine did NOT come with any sort of bag.

Wow! Surprisingly excellent for such an inexpensive basket. It's very stable and catches well, even from distance -- I threw in a mid from about 160 feet the other day. I bought two of these to add to the seven older baskets that were already in place. The older baskets are similar, which is why I bought these Yaheetechs. Anyway, as I said at the top, these things are solid, stable, and very portable--which means they are just light enough to carry for a bit of distance, and just heavy enough to function as actually golf course baskets. They are easy to assemble, with only a few parts. And they catch very well. I will buy more of these if I ever need them, or if I come up with the money to replace the seven old baskets I have.

So I splurged and replaced my homemade basket with something with PDGA specs (will follow up below). However, I didn't want to (cough* couldn't afford to) splurge THAT much, so instead of the shiny, name-brand, PDGA approved, I saved a few bucks and went for the 24-chain Yaheetech basket. Let's get at it. Unboxing: As I unboxed, I wasn't overly impressed with the cheap styrofoam that is now somehow stuck to my ceiling (which is vaulted, 12 foot, how???). However, the basket and corresponding parts were nicely wrapped and protected, but easily extricated from their packaging. I noticed the weight of the band and basket, but not so much on the base. As I opened up the bag of chains, I was surprised and initially disappointed with the feel/weight of them. Definitely felt flimsy and light. Assembly: Putting it together was a cinch. It's pretty obvious what goes where without looking at the instructions, but I'd still recommend a quick glance at them. As noted in some of the other reviews, the holes didn't perfectly line up, but were so close that I didn't have issues. One of the alignments was off enough that I had to finagle the pole/top a bit to get the screw in, but it wasn’t too bad. Assembled: Honestly, the build is pretty solid. The only knock I have is the base isn’t overly sturdy. In the grass, it was a little wobbly, but on my deck, it was nice and flat and solid. The chains: Coming back to this. I initially thought they felt flimsy, light and that they wouldn’t catch anything. Boy was I wrong. I put 100 putts into this thing and it caught so well. Wow. The chain links themselves were small enough that I think that when the chain crumples, it envelops the disc and knocks it down. The weight of the chains does not appear to be an issue at this point. PDGA Spec: It’s not PDGA-approved, but it’s built to spec, so it’s going to be on par with a name-brand, approved basket. Pros: Lightweight Catches well Affordable Cons: Base is light and wobbly on a rough surface, but sturdy on flat, hard surface. Powder coated, not galvanized, so might not hold up outside for long duartions?

So I've gotta say I was definitely nervous making this purchase since I had never heard of this brand before. Upon receipt of the basket all my doubts immediately went away. This basket is great. If you find a good sturdy spot to set it up in your yard you wont have any problems. It's light enough you can easily move it, yet heavy enough it doesn't look like it's gonna tip over when you hit it with a few discs back to back. It don't know how weather proof it would be in the long run as i have not been leaving it outside. Its easy enough to move that I can stick it in a corner in the garage and easily take it to the back yard when I wanna get some putts in. It's a great basket, that's the right size, and definitely the right price. Plus the chains catch pretty well too. Although not as well as the nicer baskets at the course, but a few robbed putts in practice never hurt anybody, hell if anything it adds a slight bit more challenge making those grabby ones easier. The not as great: The base: The base is not super sturdy, you need to have it on very flat ground. I've been thinking that I could maybe use several tent stakes to keep it from moving if I want to try it on uneven ground. I just happened to find the perfect flat spot in my back yard for it. Assembly: while it really didn't take that much time to assemble The holes where the hex bolts go in where slightly off from the outer and inner pieces so you kinda had to lift slightly while also trying to screw it in which can be a pain in the ass if you are by yourself. Portability: It's easy enough to move around your property without assembly so that's great, but I would consider it a more of an at home basket with the option of occasional portability. As previously stated assembly can be kinda obnoxious and having to take it a part and put it back together all the time would suck. But it is great to have the option, and the bag to put everything in is a nice touch. Overall this is definitely a 4 star basket and I would recommend to anyone who wants one but doesn't have the budget to shell out for a name brand. Or hell, even though who may want a name brand would be satisfied with this.

Super easy to setup. Sturdy even without the included anchors. Perfect for putting practice or backyard play!
