Recommend a practice basket.

[JBAGG2000]

I am looking to get a practice basket that can easily be transported, I would like to keep it under $150 but will spend a little more for a great product. As of now I am leaning toward the DGA Mach Lite. Is this a quality basket? Is there a better bang for the buck basket out there?

Thanks in advance! Jbagg2000

I have a Mach Lite myself. Great in terms of portability and compared to a lot of the other highly portable baskets give you a much more "realistic looking" target. Only down side is its a single layer of very thin chains (to help keep it light) so you will have a lot of spit outs if you're a hard putter. Otherwise I have no complaints with mine other than I don't have a back yard so I don't get to use it very much.

I would suggest spending another $50 for a total of around $200 and getting a "Lightning DB-5 Portable Basket" It has 18 heavy duty chains, and in my humble opinion it catches many more putts than the Mach Lite does. (Tiger is so good a putting he doesn't even use chains)

I like the Discacther Traveler baskets a lot, they run around $125. They catch LESS than almost any other basket on the market but for practice that's what I prefer. I know if it stays in on the traveler then it's staying in on any bucket I play. I guess it just depends on what you're looking for, but I think these things are great! The only caveat I have is that they will blow over in the wind if you don't stake them down, and I have had mine get knocked over by a long approach once (ROC, about 200').

DGA M-14 portable baskets . Added chains will make it just as good as they come ( thanks Danny ) . Oh , if you shop around you can find them for around $ 140 . Do your shopping around . Cheap ....... PJ
