Titan Pro-24 finally approved for pdga play at the championship level.













Today we received final; approval for the Titan Pro-24 disc golf target at the championship level.
The hold-up was due to us waiting for the pdga to change a specification to read measurement of the inside diameter as opposed to outside diameter. This was was changed earlier this year.
The Titan surely meets or accedes all of the requirements to be used at the highest level of play as you can see in the pictures.
Our baskets are made of 1/2 inch cold rolled steel right here in St. Louis Missouri,,,, MADE in AMERICA,,,,is the only way to go!!!!
These baskets are guaranteed against bending and breaking and cost $400.00 per basket,,,,, well worth the extra couple bucks.
18 hole course designs and installations come with up to 300 custom stamped discs and much more.

Brian, Dave, and others,

Gateway Disc Sports recently submitted the Titan Pro-24 for PDGA testing. This target passed all PDGA tests, so I've added it to the list of PDGA-approved targets at the Championship level. This target is now PDGA-approved, although formal certification will be made by the Board of Directors at their next meeting. Test measurements are listed below and a photograph of the target and an updated list of approved targets are attached.

One further note on this target is that slight modifications have been made to the basket since it was sent to the TSC last year for preliminary testing before formal submittal for approval, pending modifications to the PDGA target standards. Consequently, Dave McCormack has agreed to send a sample of the latest version of the Titan Pro-24 to the IDGC by mid-December of this year so that players can use it and so that a change in the maximum size of gaps in the basket can be updated on the list of approved targets. Brian, please provide that data to me when you receive the target from Dave.
