Just Baskets

Wow!!! Holy Shit!!! M-Low has created a target of beauty and strength. I went fishing (for the first time in too long) and came up with this sweet creation....and I must say I'm blown away (especially after the Halex Incident) This guy did his homework, took his time, invested quality materials ($250 worth) and incorporated his favorite elements of the designer baskets. Bravo my man, you set the bar real high.

Mike says:
I went the extra yard on the design/quality because I needed something that would stand up to the harsh Texas weather but more importantly, I needed a "that looks great" response from the wife and not a "you plan to put that where?" response when I unveiled the end product (we just got done landscaping the front yard - so couldn't really have a tire basket hanging from a tree - not to say that isn't a brilliant idea for a homemade basket)...This project was done mainly during the late night, early morning hours and on weekends in my garage - I have sacrificed about a month's worth of disc golfing to make this happen...It's been a great learning experience and I am pleased with the way it turned out.

Well done bro, mission accomplished!

Not homemade but noteworthy is the Halex Set widely available for $99. This 80 year old company (out of NY) specializes in table tennis gear and electronic dart boards. Apparently they've set the standard in table tennis balls which means that if you are beer ponging you may already be a client...perhaps even the president.

So, I don't know what to say here. Looks like a pretty cheap/somewhat flimsy target. I like the quick breakdown capabilities and am intriqued with the beaded chain concept...but I don't know? Don't knock it til ya try it I guess so if anyone has road tested the Halex write up a postable review and I'll post it.

Looks like it might be fun just to hack at this thing with your DX plastic and see how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie roll lollipop!

Jaysus sends us some targets from a private course called Hobo Woods. By the looks of it, these folks aren't hobos but their course sure looks fun and their baskets are Funktastic! This is what it's all about!

Follow the link toward comprehensive instructions for building the, "Wilson Basket" Jack Tup sent this in and said it looks sturdy...I'll take it just a notch further and say it looks FAHKIN' INDESTRUCTIBLE!!!! (Pardon my slang french) The Horsemen can't even take apart this gem of a basket. I love it!!!!
