Reviews?

Interested.

I don't have one but they look kinda cool :DWhat about price?

Site sez $110+s/h.

The Jelly Fish $380

The Octopuss $350
The Crab

The Starfish $110

Color on the basket says min of $120 per color for powdercoating. not real sure how the pricing works on the color it was a little fuzzy.....or mabye I'm fuzzy :cool:

Dave at Gateway has a new basket called the bullseye that is $150 that is like the starfish but with a basket....they have pics on the Magic art contest thread...I couldn't figure out how to quote from another thread :confused:

They look awesome, and I love the tops. You could finally settle the argument about a disc landing on top of the basket because it would continuously slide off. Hopefully into the basket!

Are those baskets single or double chained? Double chained I would definitely try and get some on a course if we ever build another one.

The chains on their better quality baskets look cheap...kind of like the ones on the Discatcher Sport basket...

Fine, but not great...

Pricing says $20 for top $20 for bottom. So You'd have to color three baskets top and bottom minimum. Personally If I wasn't getting a basket on the pole, I'd save some money a nd throw at a tree.

I did some putting at one of these a couple of years ago at the CO Open. I liked it. I don't recall the chains being cheap. I DO remember that the basket caught a lot of my putts! I like the top designs, and think you would be happy with one of these if you bought it.
I wouldn't mind getting a few of the Starfish for our local course holes in development. We've been putting in posts for testing holes, and a pole like the Starfish could be replaced with a better basket later, or even placed with a temp hole or rocks to hold it up until you get the placement just right. Not necessary, but kind of cool if you can afford it.

I built something similar to these...no quite as sturdy, but they work...

Many courses in CO are fully equipped with these baskets and I have not had any problems with these that I don't see with Mach's or DiscCatchers. They are overall very friendly with catching discs but do have the high left, high right split through that most baskets have.

When or if I get or design a course I will use these baskets...

not the starfish ones....the actual baskets :)
