Wow... this is quite a discussion brewing here. Wasn't expecting this much chatter. Pretty solid thoughts all around.
I think my major thought was chains. Some of them are single. Some of them are double. Then I saw the new Mach X basket by DGA advertised as "redefining the disc golf basket" (not that every new basket doesn't make claims like that) while watching the Vibram Open.
So, some baskets supposedly "catch better" than others. At some point, I would think that the differences will become significant.
All this cost stuff is definitely a compelling reason that this hasn't, isn't and probably won't happen. I don't think that means it's not a good idea... just not feasible, needed, cost effective, etc.
It was just a thought that popped in my head. I wasn't even suggesting it should happen... was just curious what people who might actually be more on the inside of this stuff might think. Admittedly, my involvement in the sport is relatively new. I haven't played in any tournament besides one local fundraiser, but I'm thoroughly enjoying watching the different major tournaments and thought this might be a fun discussion.
