Basket question

[Duke CT]

Hi all,

I'm in the process of developing a course in CT. Has anyone played a course with Disc Nation Liberty baskets? They are much less expensive but I do not want to get what I'm paying for if you know what I mean.

Thanks in advance! Keep rattlin' them chains!

Hey Duke CT,

Am also a Nutmegger (live in CT - Stafford; where are you?) and have played on Liberty baskets when they were at PCC up in MA. They're "OK". Yes, for the price they're great but sound a little tinny, don't quite catch like the better baskets (I'm guessing because of the thinner gauged chains) and only (I think) come in portables - so no permanent pin placements w/o some work. Depending on where / what purpose your course is for, I'd - without knowing all the details - would save up for at least DB-5 quality-amount baskets (~$225per).

Ps: what town is your course intended for?

They're great for a private course that doesn't get a ton of traffic, but I wouldn't put them on a heavily used course or one where the general public might see and steal them.

Hi Karl,

I live in Broad Brook (East Windsor). That's where the course will be. It'll be across the street from the Reservoir Park, near the Dog and Skate Parks. It's a beautiful piece of land with water and elevation changes. It's mostly wooded but there are old farm roads that I plan on using as fairways so you will be able to rip it some.

That's typically not how things work in a free market.

I just got 18 Liberty's for my private course a few months ago. They do have install ground sleeves for them, and number plates. IMO they catch as well as any other top level basket out there. My only concern is the powder coat holding up, but that can be managed.
