And the chain around the ring has to hang no more than 22 inches below. We have given a very brief idea about the dimensions by now, so we are going to go into further details. There are different rules and regulations put in place that have to be followed if you are going to play disc golf. The height of the basket, for example, is one of the most important parts of the game.
And the basket has to be exactly 52 inches above the ground; it cannot be placed higher or lower. There are two different baskets, and the lower basket should be The diameter of the basket is very important, as the result of the game will change dramatically along with the basket.
You do not want such drastic changes in the game. The diameter of the rim should be Moreover, the basket at the bottom is usually larger than the one on top. So, if the top rim is If you are able to get the detentions of the basket right, then you will see that your game has improved as well, much as you would see in basketball. All the calculations and moves have to be made according to that. Just like the diameter and the height of the basket is very important, the same way we have to get the size of the chain right.
The chain is a crucial part of the game as it has an impact on the way you will score and how many points you can get. There are certain standards you have to maintain if you want to play a serious match.
You can have 12 strands of chain on the basket that go up and down, and another 6 that goes around the 12 strands. A Disc Golf basket, required on a standard target, is 66cm in diameter 26 inches , the rim of the basket is 82cm 2 ft 8 inches and the basket must be 18cm 7 inches deep. The deflection assembly holding the chains above is 57cm The manufacturing guidance from the PDGA does list tolerances for these dimensions.
The dimensions are also listed in cm metric for the official guidance to benefit manufacturers and have been roughly approximates into inches in this article for those keen eyes readers who notice a few minor differences!
Assuming the deflection support is the maximum height allowable, then the total height of the basket is cm or There are two key dimensions here. The first is the dimension of the deflection assembly and the second is the dimension of the basket below as these are different sizes. You may be surprised to learn but the number of chains in a basket is fairly standard throughout disc golf targets. There are however a few differences I want to highlight. In the PDGA guidance there are three classifications of target as listed above.
The standard targets are the ones this article focusses on and will likely be the type of target your local course will have, or you may have in your garden. These targets have baskets and the only real practical difference between the standard basket and the championship basket is that the chains on a championship basket have to be metal where as there is no material requirement for standard most will have metal chains still and the championship target has two layers of chains, 12 on the outer and 6 on the inner whereas the standard targets will just have the outer layer of chains.
My local course is quite small and therefore only has 9 holes but most larger courses will have the full 18 holes with each hole having a single basket at the end, marking the end of the hole. You have a lot more leeway when it comes to mini disc golf basket dimensions. The mini basket gives you the option to tailor it to fit the area that you have.
A general rule to use as a guideline should choose to make a homemade mini disc golf basket because the rim diameter has to be half of the regular disc golf basket. However, the DIY basket has to meet the requirements set by the PDGA so that when you practice at home, you can simulate a real tournament environment. It is the only way to get better. You can make the basket with any material that you have available.
Additionally, the basket can have as little as 12 chains, which is the minimum that is required by the PDGA. Certain factors like weight, height, width, and size will also have to be considered when drawing up your disc golf basket plans. Of course, we have not left you hanging; you will find a discussion about the specific measurements of these factors below, so please keep reading.
If the DIY gene skipped, you fear not. Many great options on the market are simple and do not cost you a lot of money. Disc golf baskets of this nature have less than 18 chains and are significantly cheaper to purchase. You can buy them as portable or as semi-permanent depending on your preference. If you are looking to take it up a level, consider taking a look at the standard level disc golf baskets.
Most of the dimensions and specifications are identical to the necessary level baskets. The only significant differences are that these baskets are made from more durable material and generally contain more than 18 chains. These types of baskets also have more or less the same measurements for the basket.
The difference is the quality of the material and the level of durability that is required. You are going to find these PDGA approved types of baskets in most top tier tournaments. They are meant for pros. It is clear now that the recommended basket dimensions are generally the same. That said, we now take a closer look at the actual dimensions of all the parts that make up the disc golf basket. The chain is an integral part of the game.
As we stated before, the PDGA capped the chain minimum at number All these rules have a bearing on the type and quality of the game you experience as a player. These are things that you should keep in mind, especially if you choose to DIY the basket.
The PDGA states that the minimum chain length for disc golf baskets is 9 inches. Some homemade disc golf basket blueprints do deviate from the official rules. If you DIY, you have more room to adjust the basket to your preferred length. Beginners or recreational players can benefit from the extra chain length.
When we did our research, we found some homemade disc golf basket plans with a inch chain. This is not to say that you should completely abandon the official dimensions for your own. If you are playing for fun, you can tailor-make it to meet your needs. In contrast, your goal should be different if you are planning on competing in tournaments. We recommend that any modifications you make are as close to the PDGA standards as possible. The chain should have 12 individual chains that are vertical and six set around the 12 chains.
