Innova DISCatcher Tour: Permanent or Portable?
Page content
The Innova DISCatcher Tour is a professional disc golf basket designed for competitions and high-level courses. It features 35 galvanized chains arranged in four tiers, a durable outdoor construction, and a 20-year limited manufacturer's warranty.
It is available in two configurations: permanent and portable. Both offer the same professional disc-catching system. The difference lies in the central post, base, and installation system.
Comparison of the two versions
The professional catching system and the playing height above the ground are the same. Choose the configuration based on how the space is used and how the basket is installed.

| Manufacturer's warranty | 20 years, limited | 20 years, limited |
Permanent installation
Designed for public courses and parks
The permanent version features a long central post that is inserted into a galvanized anchor sleeve installed in the ground with concrete.
The system includes a locking collar that allows the basket to be secured with a padlock, helping to deter theft and unauthorized removal.
It is the recommended option for public courses, municipal parks, sports facilities, and outdoor spaces without permanent supervision.
A permanent basket can also be relocated
The anchor sleeve remains installed in the ground, but the basket and its post can be removed. By installing additional anchor sleeves, the same basket can be moved to different positions on the course.
- Alternate basket positions.
- Modify hole difficulty.
- Distribute wear on the ground.
- Prepare different configurations for tournaments.
- Facilitate course maintenance.
Additional sleeves are purchased separately.
Portable version
Designed for temporary facilities and activities
The portable version uses the same upper structure and the same 35 chains, but features a shorter central post and a freestanding galvanized metal base.
It requires no excavation or concrete foundation. The base has mounting bolts that allow the structure to be disassembled and transported when necessary.
It is especially suitable for:
- Tournaments and temporary courses.
- Introductory activities.
- Club practices.
- Disc golf demonstrations.
- Sports facilities that need to move baskets.
- Adding extra holes during competitions.
It is a full-size professional steel basket, not a lightweight, folding practice basket. Its robust construction should be taken into account when planning transport, and it should be used on a stable, level surface.
