It is the right first basket for a garden, a park, or an informal round with friends. Lighter frames trade some catching ability for that portability, which is a fair exchange when the alternative is not practising at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003epermanent basket\u003c\/strong\u003e is heavier, with a deeper cage and more chains. It stays where you put it and catches far more aggressively, which makes practice honest rather than flattering.

Rim height and the angle of the top band also change how a hard putt behaves — a shallow tray rejects putts that a course basket would keep.
