We should just replace them with dunk tanks and have Tri sit on them

Tri is right, good putts shouldn't be rewarded. I like my disc golf baskets the same way I like mistresses, cruel and fickle.

I blame that on the jump putt. He was 100ft too close to even be trying that.

That was not dead center and the disc was not flat. Nice putt but it was making bad luck more likely to happen.

It's just part of the game. NOT! Try playing a course with Mach 1s. Baskets have improved greatly over the past 20 years, as have discs. Baskets will continue to become better at retaining discs. You can't stop progress.

Isn't that a penalty for stepping beyond his lie and not having balance to where he had to stumble forward?
Is he a lot further than it appears or something?

Very true. The angle was horrible and it just missed hitting the top band of the bucket. High putt + bad angle = spit possibility or arroyo basket purchace.

I love mach I's...
At any rate, nobody says we can't get better baskets. We just say that Tri has never made a perfect putt over his year and a half no matter how much he thinks he did. We have certain baskets right now, they play a certain way, you know this, get used to it. No matter what perfectly designed baskets we get there will always be those guys that feel they deserve every putt to fall because they are infallible.

I just don't get the argument anymore. Wouldn't kill us to have better baskets that prevent spit outs of perfect putts and leave less to chance, but until that happens and it is standardized (which gets really pricey and is a bit to ask when talking free to play courses funded by tax dollars in most places), it IS part of the game seeing as it can happen in the game.

I think this calls for another spit-out poll......

baskets are and will continue to get better in the mean time your gonna have to deal with what you have.
just be glad you weren't putting on one of these. trust me its dead center or nothing

That doubles as a Doppler radar too.
Spit outs happen, but like once every 100 rounds or so, right? According to my score book thing Ive taken close to 3000 putts and have only had one spit-out... Not that big an issue.

Tough break, hate when that happens. I've had a putt smack the tape on the center poll and spit back out toward me. Shizit happens.

I'm only a noob but even I would say... The problem is with the putt not the basket.

I agree with you, but other guys on here are convinced that their "perfect putts" should always stay in the basket. Try not to get too upset when they talk down to you in their condescending tones.
So are you telling me that was a "bad" putt? It's not like that putt hit the side chains. It went into the chains hit the pole thus flipping it up vertically and out the other side. An inch to the right and I doubt that disc would half flipped up like that.
It's no fault of either IMO.
