all rubber baskets?

[blackcatsmith]

While watching round 2 coverage of the Vibram Open I heard mention of a "all rubber basket in the works". Is this something of interest? I don't see the need for such an innovation, but I'll allow that I haven't given it too much thought. What would be the benefit of an all rubber basket? Quieter perhaps? Less disc wear? Fewer bounce outs? What? Thoughts?

Maybe for a cheap portable basket?

Next it'll be the "Overmold" basket we'll be hearing about...

Wow lets make the game easy

how would a rubber basket make it easy? there would be considerable more rebound i would think

I think it was a joke from Steve....... Could be wrong

The rubber would absorb the energy not deflect it so disc hits with force rubber absorbs the force disc drops

Read this, I feel it will help some people grasp the concepts of bounce outs, spits ect.

i dont know if this was a joke or what but if a rubber type chain system helped fix the game's problem with spitouts i'm all for it.

if the disc hits the target it should count.

If spitouts were eliminated but the target was smaller I'd be down.

rubber baskets help you practice safe putts

Well it would make the chains quieter, and putter probably wouldnt get broken in unless you miss.

Steady Ed is rolling over in his...well....he would roll over if he wasn't in a bunch of discs.

For me, I think spit-outs are a feature of basket target and not a problem. I would not want them too grabby away some of the challenge.

I think it was Steve Dodge trying to be funny, and failing.

 

[fountg]

Id miss the sounds.

If a golf ball skips over a cup does it count? If a basketball goes halfway down but bobbles out does it count? If a football hots the upright does it count? If a hockey puck or soccor ball hits the post does it count? If u HIT the target but itdoesnt stick it doesn't count. Period. Spit-outs are part of pretty much any object to target sport. If you don't like it quit playing. Also, who wants to hear a disc hit rubber? Lame....
