I think there might be some confusion in this discussion or assumptions. I think when someone thinks of making a smaller basket, I think most people are thinking of Bullseye baskets, I don't think that is the case, you can make them a little smaller and that would require people to focus a little more but not drastically more. Tighten up the game a little, but it isn't as bad as what some people are thinking of, if you take 2 inches off each side, that doesn't mean you won't be able to hit a 30 footer, it means you have to have better form and focus but the average person can still make them. Even if you are a bad putter wouldn't mean you won't be able to make a 30 to 40 footer if you take 2 inches off each side. The fear of making the game less fun if you take 2 inches off each side...I don't think that would stop me from playing and enjoying the game at all.
In order for this to happen, it would have to start with the PDGA reviewing and approving new specifications for such baskets to be used in certain events...etc.
