Review on ๐ŸŒ Ultimate Portability: Discraft Chainstar Lite Portable Disc Golf Target by Nelson Calafell

Revainrating 3 out of 5

A little awful but in a good way

Really wanted to spend enough time with this car to test drive it before writing a review. Here's what I think after two years of constant use: 1) The basket is very durable and overall well built. Although it comes with stakes for base stability, it's heavy enough that I didn't feel the need to use them. It is healthy. I'm a pretty sturdy guy at 6ft 1in and had no trouble carrying her around, but she's by no means light. 2) When I'm not using the basket, I keep it in the shed so nobody leaves it. under rain. However, I did notice a few rust spots here and there. Nothing special but worth mentioning. No problem for you 3) Very easy to assemble/disassemble 4) Now to the main point, it just isn't that good at catching discs, it has the smallest sweet spot of any basket I've ever played. I may not be the most well-travelled disc golfer, but I've played all over the country and at some pretty nice courses. To be honest I'd say the Chainstar Lite is probably around the same Mach II level, albeit not quite as well. The basket won't catch anything on the weak side unless the disc hits that low that she hardly slips the rim... If I were to play the course with these baskets, I would be very annoyed. But as they say, that shit meant I really needed to improve my putting skills. Basically, if I can get hit to get stuck on Chainstar Lite, I can be sure that every other cart will catch it too. Necklace Starlight. When I bought the basket, the price difference was about $75. This difference was enough for me to choose Chainstar. Should I choose Innova instead? Yes. But I appreciate what this basket has to offer at its price point. I can give a moderate recommendation, but nothing more. If you can afford the Innova Discatcher I would go for it.

Pros
  • Happy so far
