Putts that are good right up until they are not is one of the more annoying, sometimes soul crushing things in disc golf. With that as the back drop, perhaps the basket "caused" miss I hate the most is the one where your disc goes nearly all the way into the tray and the rear edge catches one of the support nubs and the discs either rebounds out or, maybe even worse, swivels on that point and flings itself out.
With that in mind, what would you think about some sort of basket design that eliminates these nubs? Maybe a U shaped collar that fits over the nubs to give a nice clean edge to the tray. Theoretically this could even be retrofitted to existing baskets, if one were so inclined.
(I could lose my first million dollars creating business to sell these!)
Yes, theoretically this might actually stop more putts than it catches, but to me this isn't an issue, because you can actually aim OVER the edge and know that any putt that goes over that lip nice and low will stay and not be arbitrarily nubbed out.
