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. Read more
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.

This is one of the cheaper disc golf baskets on the market, but it is very solid! I’ve hit it at 25-50+ yards many a time with no damage to disc or basket. It has been left outside for over a year now and has shown no signs of weathering or wear do to play. Weighted well to stand up to winds and the chains are solid enough. Certainly not professional grade, but perfect for practice. Could also be easily transported. Read more
This basket is quality metal and very sturdy. The frisbees that come with it are more like a regular frisbee than a disc so the dogs got to enjoy them. I didn’t expect much as far as those are concerned anyway. All in all, I would definitely buy this again. The carry case is a definite plus. Makes it simple to keep everything together and take to family reunions etc Read more
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? Read more
Such a fun time killer! And good practice for hitting an actual frisbee golf course next time I see one. Well made, sturdy, and portable to boot! (came with a nice carry case) Takes a little time to assemble and take apart, but not too much that it's inconvenient to do so. Read more
I was much surprised to the quality of this. Price right, fun to use. My family loves it. Would recommend for anyone who has a fair amount of yard space. Read more
