MACH X GOLF BASKET

Mach X Disc Golf Basket

Permanent disc golf baskets are heavy-duty and are designed for outdoor park and recreation settings. In these settings disc golf baskets get constant play, (banging of the chains) and abuse. Permanent disc golf baskets have 18 to 24 strands of chain and are durable enough to withstand sun, wind, rain and snow. Each disc golf target is hot dipped galvanized from head to toe (a DGA standard).

The most unique and functional design feature of the Mach X is the unified chain design. All strands of chain within this design are connected to one another through the single ring at the bottom of the chain area, which acts as the hub. The Unified Chain Design works together to stop and catch the incoming disc.

The Mach X utilizes 16 outer strands of chain and 16 full-length inner strands of chain. It also incorporates 8 smaller intermediate strands of chain. That’s a total of 40 strands, making chain counting a thing of the past.

The Mach X comes in two mounting options: No Frills In-ground Mounting and Deluxe In-ground Mounting.

No Frills In-ground Mounting is a permanent direct cement pole option
Deluxe In-ground Mounting is a permanent and removable model with anchor and lockable collar

Reflex Chain™

Starting with the reflex chain design first incorporated in the Mach Lite, DGA has taken this concept a step further. A third, smaller strand of chain has been added that has multiple benefits. The inward angle it creates as it approaches the connection ring acts as a guidance feature that redirects the disc downward, ensuring it comes to rest in the basket. The added benefit of this smaller strand of chain is that it closes the gap between the inner and outer sections of chain, assisting to prevent a “spit through” on putts that miss slightly left or right of center.

X-Pattern Inner Chain

Much like the core of the human body, the inner section of chain on the Mach X provides its strength. Stainless steel rings connect the continuous strands of chain to form an X pattern and work like a glove to stop the momentum of the disc, while protecting the disc from hitting the pole and causing “bounce outs”. The inner strands of chain also support the weight of the lower ring and outer strands of chain. This added weight puts more tension on the inner chain, helping to slow and stop the incoming disc.

Soft Outer Chain

Re-examining the “Soft Chain” concept first utilized by “Steady” Ed on some versions of Mach III’s in the early 1990’s, DGA determined that the principle still has merit when used in conjunction with other Mach X features. The “Soft Chain” creates an outer barrier of chain that doesn’t stop the disc, but slows it down just enough to envelop it. From there the firm inner chain stops the disc. This “Ying and Yang” of soft and firm chain is a perfect marriage of concepts.

Recoil Chain Connector

Adding to the Unified Chain Design concept of the Mach X, we have taken the next step in basket development by connecting the inner and outer sections of chain together near the bottom of the chain assembly. This section of connected chain strands help to absorb the energy inflicted onto the soft outer chain section, allowing this chain to stay in position.

M-Links™

The Mach X incorporates a new design feature in its chain holder called M-Links. The M-Link design allows the Mach X to have the benefit of 16 outer strands of chain, but without the weight of additional support arms. Performance has been added while subtracting weight. The M-Link design utilizes the sliding link design first brought to the sport by DGA with the Mach V.
