This is the perfect basket for backyard and field practice alike! Very easy assembly/dissasembly. The chains are pretty thick, causing some spit outs; however, this could be seen as a good thing as it forces you to develop a more solid putt. Besides that I haven't had a single spit 'through'. The only cons I can find with this basket is the weight. For a portable basket, it gets a bit tiring carrying it through a field!

As another small note, I would have preferred the chains to be galvanized, rather than zinc coated, for more weather proofing. Regardless I've left this basket out in the rain and couple times and it's still good as new.

Overall a great practice basket!

I bought this for my husband, and he absolutely loves it! It's a little heavy, but that means it doesn't blow over in high winds. It hasn't rusted yet, so no issues being outdoors all the time. I definitely recommend this!!!

Best for the money!
It is fantastic.

Ordered on Dec. 26th 2016
Received on Jan 6th 2017
MVP (manufacturer) closed for the holidays. Seller, (Sun King Discs Sports) sent me a letter thanking me for the order, letting me know of the actual ship date, sticker and an Amazon coupon code. Great customer service by the seller.

Packaging:
Comes in marked and logo'ed MVP box. It would have been nice for unit to be wrapped in an additional outer box for extra protection and security. But everything was ok in shipping.

Basket:
Start with the round base. It is very sturdy and big enough for stable putting in the backyard. I will place mine on some concrete stepping stones just to keep it off the ground. The base also comes with ground spikes to further stabilize unit. All welds/paint look good.

Lower pole:
Lower pole screws into base. Simple, easy.

Catch basket:
Catch basket goes on top of lower pole. Catch basket is well made and sturdy. All welds/paint look good.

Upper pole:
Goes into lower pole with basket in-between. I have read reports of people filling the upper pole with foam sealant to "deaden" the sound. I will hold off (for now) as I like the rewarding "banging chains". I may, however get some bright tape (electrician/duct/hunting) and place a strip on the upper pole as an "aimpoint" I have seen this done at local courses with automotive reflective tape.

Top Rim:
Professional looking top ring is what really sets this unit apart from all other home units on the market. Gives the unit a nice flair. Nice logo and graphics.
Top Cap:
Top cap installs above rim to hold everything together. Looking for a way I can add a dowel rod/pvc/pipe on top cap to hold a flag for windage. Hope MVP comes out with an accessory for a flag.

Chains:
Chains are nice zinc plated for non-permanent outdoor use. Nice feel and weight to the chains. Chains (inner or outer) are not removable unless you use two pairs of Vice-Grip to get "s" hook off.
But why remove chains?
Some people do ask that question. But, I bought this becouse of the double set of chains, just like the Profesional ones at the city park.

Overall:
A quality unit that will give years of use. I would recommend this brand/model to anyone looking for residential backyard practice (or fun).
It will be nice to get guests into the sport with this unit.

For me (male, 6ft tall 220 lbs) it's not hard to move around. It comes apart easy if you want to put it in your car/auto trunk. However...unit may be to heavy for someone, that is where the folding type disc baskets would come in handy, as a space saver or lighter version.

I plan to keep this covered with an bbq grill cover or under the patio when not in use, just to help keep it in great condition.

Great job MVP, Sun King Discs and Amazon!
 
Update: I did buy some thick, non-adhisive shelf liner (like tool box drawer liner) and wrapped the bottom half of the top pole with it. This gave the MVP Black Hole Pro a deeper tone when hit, got rid of the "tinny" sound. Also got some 1 1/2 to 1/2 pvc fitting and made a flag for the top so it now has a wind indicator. Check out my Y0u Tub@ videos for more.

my disc golf club has started to use MVP a ton and have ordered many items and its starting to become very popular among disc golfers so you will be buying a basket a lot of people would recommend , my review of the item :

very nice item with great reviews , it is not what I'm use to throwing at ( Mach 4 basket) but for a third of the price the construction and feel is well worth it . I was tempted by cheaper items but ultimently decided to purchases this one as it appears stronger and the weight shows . i highly recommend buying this basket , it is strong and well made , not of cheap material and as someone else has mentioned , you could remove some chains to personalize it pretty easily .

Only draw back i might see is the base is a little small and may pose a little issue with it being top heavy , but thats nothing a sandbag or a rock couldn't fix . over all very well made product and am happy to have a basket of my own for the low price this one was when i purchased it (150$)

This disc golf basket is awesome! I bought it for home use since I am not able to get out to the courses as much as I would like. My son and I have a great time playing with it at home it's durable and has more chains than other ones that I've seen around.
