QUIT THE RESEARCH AND BUY THIS BASKET!!!
Posted by Wendel, Salem OR on 22nd Jul 2011
After spending way too much time trying to find the best portable basket, I finally purchased the Mach Lite Basket, and couldn't be happier! The quality is by far the best I've seen for any portable basket. The fabric is VERY sturdy, and the basket comes with a drawstring to adjust tension on the rim as the fabric around the basket wears and stretches over time (or in case you are a really, really accurate and keep hitting the side with your drives). The very top and bottom of the basket are a heavy duty mesh (able to withstand any drive) to allow wind to blow through, reducing the risk of being blown over with a gust of wind. The bag is even enforced with nylon straps running vertically up and down it to prevent the basket from breaking through over time (how many camping chairs have you seen hanging out the bottom of it's bag?).
As others have stated, the flag pole is the one minor (and I mean VERY minor) complaint I have in terms of durability, as one strong putt would probably snap the flag pole. The simple solution: buy the basket in red, and the entire basket is just about as visible as you can get. Sure, you can't see which way the wind is blowing the flag, but hey, you should be able to figure that out on your own :-D.
Set-up is very easy, and takes a minute or less. I have had the chains get caught by the basket's collar when pushed up to the open position, but they can easily be moved out of the way if/when that happens. I've been really impressed by the basket's ability to grab discs so well. Sure, discs sometimes blow through, but that's a sacrifice I'm more than willing to take for the portability and price point. If you're really worried about that, get a permanent one.
At 25 pounds, the basket can get a bit heavy after a while, but the only way to reduce that would have been to skimp on quality and amount of chains. Sure, the Innova DISCatcher Traveler is half the weight, but only has 4 chains, and I'd be worried that a single scuffed disc could tear the mesh (I've only seen it in stores so I haven't actually seen this happen). Plus you don't get the "ching" of the chains, and where's the fun in that? The Innova SkillShot would be nice for tightening up your putting as it is smaller than regulation size, but the single row of chains certainly won't catch as well. It also isn't constructed nearly as well. I've also heard that if you're fortunate enough to have a possible ace, a solid drive can knock the basket over, but there's no chance of that with the Mach Lite.
There are other "portable" metal baskets that break down into a few pieces (by Innova and DGA to name only a few), but they are't nearly as portable if you're looking for something to pull out of a trunk, sling over your shoulder and go.
If you're still reading this, you're just about as anal as I am on purchases, but believe me – you won't be disappointed! The one thing that would improve the basket would be making it out of titanium, but that would cost both your arms and maybe a leg, then no more disc golf for you :-(
I hope you enjoy the basket as much as I do!

Best deal out there!
Posted by david.r.engle@gmail.com on 15th Jun 2011
Just wanted to say i'm LOVING this basket!!! Just got it a little while ago but the quality seems solid. This basket will single-handedly be the biggest cause of growth to the sport in my area, since who needs a permanent course when you can buy these and have a portable setup! Thanks again, DGA!!!

The best portable basket!
Posted by James Dillaman on 31st May 2011
This is by far the best hybrid basket I've ever used. It's simple to unfold and sets up in 1-2 minutes tops. Once set up, it's very stable and provides a good "sweet spot", one larger than the smaller skill shot basket. The flag on top is very cheap, but you don't really need it. The sound of the chains is very pleasing, but there is a problem with kick-outs from hard putts and hard putters. It really isn't a problem, and for the recreational player who needs a basket to put up just when they need it and take with them, this is the product for you.
It is pretty light for a full size basket, and the carrying case is great, with the folded up legs stored in the pouch on the outside.

Addictive ching
Posted by Kyle M on 26th May 2011
The DGA Mach Lite is simply the best portable basket out there. Out of all the portable baskets i have seen, none can compare to the Mach Lite. It catches discs just like championship quality baskets do. Even if there is a kick out, you know that you had a quality putt. The instant reward of hearing that ching of the chains is what really sells this basket to me. The quality is there, the function is there, the portability is there, but most of all, it has the addicting ching of a sweet putt.

Its Awesome!
Posted by Landon C. Spokane Wa on 11th May 2011
I'm not going to write what everyone one else said about it.. but I agree with them 100% this is awesome well worth the cool price (138$ when I got it) the only Con to it is that I wish it hand more chain, besides that.. stop thinking about getting this basket and get it! You will not be disapointed!!

I love it.
Posted by George C, Rhode Island on 22nd Nov 2010
I love it ! If you're looking to improve your putting or just have some portable fun this is the basket for you. Super solid, sturdy, and made with high quality materials. Easy to set up and break down. Comes with a great carrying bag. My only ( very minor )complaint iu the flag pole is fragile and will break if hit hard enough( mine did ) I think PDGA should substitute a metal pole or spring pole.

Great portable basket!
Posted by Korrupted on 7th Nov 2010
This is a well built portable basket. It's a little heavier than the Innova but glad I chose this one. I can easily set it up under a minute and move it around the yard with one hand. Catches discs very well with few spit outs. The only other baskets I would consider would be Innova Discacther or Lightning DB-5. I got the dent and ding basket and as promised it arrived in brand new condition. They even gave me a retroactive 5% discount. You will not find a better deal or service on a basket.

Excellent Product
Posted by Louiville, Kentucky on 12th Aug 2010
I am very satisfied with the Mach Lite basket. It was exactly as described. I was very impressed with how stable it was for a portable basket. The only improvement that needs to be made is with the plastic "flag pole". It snapped off the first time a disk hit it. I would recommend this portable basket to anyone.
