My partner gave me this basket for my birthday and Im thrilled with it. Its the same as the MVP Black Hole Pro in every respect, but just in bright colors (so says the manufacturer). I guess I got lucky since mine arrived with the box showing only an entirely acceptable level of shipping wear and the basket showing none at all. Very quick, easy and intuitive setup and teardown (though rubber gloves or a willing friend might be helpful in getting the two parts of the pole apart if theyre very tight).
I was over the moon, as they say, with my receipt of this fantastic gift, and then my aming lady went outside and grabbed the light from under her patio umbrella, brought it in, and affixed it to the pole of the basket: perfection! That and my night/glo Buzzz and I was ready for night rounds! Or at least nighttime putting practice.
The chains are loud. I like that, myself / especially from a distance / but I live in an apartment complex where everybody values quiet, so I would definitely deaden the sound before taking this puppy out to practice in the courtyard. And since Im reluctant to stick anything on my beautiful basket, I havent done that yet. I take it to local parks instead and just let those chains ring.
(And speaking of its beauty, when Im not out using it I have it set up in my living room as decorative piece/testament to my love of the game. And as with out in the courtyard, Id throw at it in here if it wasnt so darned loud. )
Myself and three of the other four guys who form the core of our meetup group either have baskets now or have them on order, and Im thinking of buying another one of these so well have that many more baskets for building impromptu minicourses.
So Im very happy with this basket (and I was looking at the Prodigy T1 before I found this in my birthday.um.stocking). Just from what Im reading of other peoples experiences Id recommend looking for Prime shipping plus free returns! on the listing before buying, so that the basket can be easily returned to if it arrives damaged. If any of the listings offer that, that is.
Enjoy!
Love this basket
