Goaliath 54 in
This is a great product, so much better than the portable hoop( sand or water filled) that it replaced at my house. The Goaliath 54 '' is sturdy and well built, hardly shakes at all. The tempered glass backboard is so nice, the noise and the feel is worth the extra cost. Even the instructions on how to assemble the hoop are very good in my opinion. Most instruction manuals are pretty terrible these days, but this one covers everything pretty well. When it comes to installation me and my wife assembled most of it in my garage then we moved it outside and my wife me and my neighbor were easily able to mount the post, level it and install the backboard. A tip for installing the backboard with limited people would be to back your truck up to the hoop, have two people stand on the tailgate to lift the backboard and then a third person stand on a ladder to install the bolt(s). My one concern with this product is the instructions on pouring the foundation. The directions say to dig a 3'- 0 '' hole, however if you live in a cold climate you might want to consider digging down to frost depth. I live in the Northeast and I dug down to 4'- 0 ''( a civil engineer friend recommend that I do this). I had to buy a separate section of rebar to use because of the deeper hole( each piece was 1'- 0 '' longer than what was supplied in the box), this cost me$ 12 and was not a big deal. 12 bags of concrete later and my foundation is rock solid. Enjoy!

I have wasted to much time on researching in ground hoops. Anyhow this on sale at$ 799 was was a trigger puller for me... even though I was set on getting a 72 ''. Good enough in all aspects and should last a decade. Do the install yourself and take your time. Easy peasy. This at full price is no deal and one should at that point spring a little extra and go with the 72 ''. Just my 2 cents.

After a lot of research I purchased this Goalrilla 60 '' in- ground model. I was concerned that if I went with a cheaper 2- piece pole unit that it would wobble after shots. Boy am I glad that I went with Goalrilla. The hoop is super sturdy with zero wobble and makes our new court look great. Instillation was pretty easy doing it myself, just needed a couple extra hands to attach the backboard( lifting it from the back of my pick- up truck bed helped a lot here). Raising and lowering the backboard is a breeze. Could n't be happier, thank you Dicks for a great product!

During the COVID crisis my son has been relying on running and playing basketball in the driveway to keep himself active, fit and quite frankly sane. A recent tropical storm passed close by and even though we secured it the hoop and stand blew over bending a few parts. I E- mailed to lifetime to ask about purchasing new parts and they sent them to me without charge!!! Now thats service. There is one high school boy who is much happier in this mess of Covid.

This product has been a lifesaver over the last few months. My family and I have enjoyed the time we 've been able to spend shooting hoops together and other neighborhood families have been using it too. When I needed a replacement part, the customer service team was incredibly accommodating in sending me out a part immediately even though I was more than prepared to have to pay for the part. The rep really made my day. Thanks!

I bought the Goalsetter X560 60 ” Extreme two weeks ago from DSG as curbside pickup, DSG team helped me loading the boxes into my car. I already had the ground anchor installed in my driveway, so that made the installation much easier and I had to assemble the hoop only. The installation was easy, it too 2. 5 hours, the manual shows everything. The hoop has a good quality, is sturdy, my kids and I are happy with with this basketball hoop, I highly recommend this product.

Great product. We installed this in a newly poured cement pad on the side of our house when we built in 2011. It has been an excellent product. The only caution is making sure you leave enough room to bolt the bottom section into the sleeve. Also, the pad for the pole finally wore out after 5 long winters and summers( the straps basically disintegrated). Other than that, this has been a great product and stood up to A LOT of use by teenagers who are not typically gentle with these things.

This is a really solid, well- built goal set. It's kind of a project to assemble, and some of the tolerances in how the holes line up are off, but it is quite doable if you have an assistant and a decent tool box. The rim and backboard deflect the ball about as well as any fixed basketball goal, which surprised me, because I was used to more flimsy goals. A great alternative to an in- ground goal. The beast can be easily moved to the most level part of the driveway.

I 've had the Beast now for 2 months now. All I can say is it is really nice, well made, and easy to operate. Took my Brother and me 3 hours to put it together. Here's the deal, follow the instructions, do n't over tighten bolts/screws that are going to need to move or be near/on glass. It seems simple in concept, but something we sometimes overlook. I bought the unit in the store, of course they do n't stock these, so the shipping is quite expensive,( over$ 200#, but that's just the way it is. I used a 20% off coupon so that more or less covered the shipping. It comes scheduled delivery via LTL carrier on two pallets. The base is pre- assembled from factory, so that saves a little time. Take your time, and follow instructions, lay everything out, and get to work. If you know what you ’ re doing, then you could probably have this assembled in 2 hours or so. My Brother and I ate some pizza, listened to some music, and had several diversions, so we took our time. The build quality of the goal is excellent, everything is powder coated, and engineered for the long- haul. The backboard is solid, and has a much different feel# similar to a pro goal) than the old flimsy portable goals everyone is use to. This is pro- grade. I 've attached a just put together photo and then on from May 22. The little NBA sticker is losing its color, but the Texas sun will pretty much fry anything have many days in the direct sun. Everyone deserves this goal, it's portable, solid, and just fun to play on. Adjustable goal height, so even I can dunk.

I wanted to buy something above the run of the mill backboard and this is it! I duid my homework, read all the reviews and spent the money. Dick's had a great price, the unit was delivered without damage, and it was delivered in a timely manner. So, I approached the assembly with some trepidation having read many, many reviews. BUT, this unit went together exactly as shown in the accompanying assembly instructions. ALL the pieces and parts were there and I did n't have to redo or undo anything that I assembled. Go slow and follow the directions. I did. The assembled unit seems to be well made for many years of service for my son and grandsons. I highly recommend this unit. Sometimes you still get what you pay for!

Recently purchased this hoop as a gift for my 11 yr old daughter who plays CYO basketball. After a few days of online research and store visits I was confident this model was the correct setup for her needs and our budget for a portable hoop system. The main features that sold me on this unit were the large backboard and the dual weighting method of both water and sand bags. In advance of my installation review I will tell you the pros and cons of the hoop post installation. Pros: 1. Super stable system with just the water filled in the base.( I have added sand bags into the base and 2 ground screw anchors( into the adjacent grass) with ratcheting straps for additional safety.) 2. The backboard has superb bounce/feel. We all know portable hoops are infamous for a non- realistic “ feel ” when a shot goes off the backboard, but this model is amazing! Not only are shots received well off the backboard but the entire hoop system is stable and does not shake or rattle like other units I have played on before. 3. Ease of adjustment up and or down which my11 yr old and 7 yr old can operate on their own. Easy to move as well. Please note I only moved the hoop post assembly and before I filled it with water. I would imagine it would be more difficult to do after it is filled with water and probably produce unwanted stress on the support poles when trying to do so. I also adjusted the hoop height to the lowest level to make it a bit easier to move into its playing position. 4. Impressive overall size. While the system itself does not take up a huge amount of real estate the size of the backboard and hoop is great in comparison to others I have researched and played on. 5. Amazing quality. Even though there were other more expensive units and many less expensive units I truly believe this was the best value and quality for the price point. Cons: 1. The protective removable plastic film over the backboard gets stuck in the perimeter of the metal surround. I know this sounds petty, but they must apply this removable file over the backboard and then screw the metal surround on during manufacturing. What happens is when removing the film portions of it still remain between the metal surround and the backboard and are impossible to remove. This is more of an aesthetics issue as it does not affect the performance of the hoop but I am a perfectionist. 2. Believe it or not I have nothing else. The hoop met my expectations after my extensive research and comparisons. Shipping: 1. The box came from a freight forwarder. They contacted me to schedule a delivery date and time and arrived on time. It was unloaded and brought to my side yard. The overall package size was much smaller then I was anticipating but was heavy. You will need a furniture dolly or hand truck to move it around by yourself or 2 people. Assembly:( Assembly took approximately 3 hrs and 20 minutes with 1 person) 1. The parts and pieces in the box were packaged very well. After unboxing I suggest going through the manual to organize your main assembly parts and hardware according to the various stages to make assembly more efficient. This is definitely an item that needs to be installed outside unless you have very high ceilings/rafters in your garage. 2. Tools and Equipment needed:* Tape measure* Wood board( for assembly main poles together.( I used a 2x8 I had)* Saw Horse( I used a standard plastic saw horse)* Ladder or step ladder 8ft tall* Flat head screwdriver* Phillips head screwdriver*( 2) 3/8 ” closed/open ended wrenches*( 2) 1/2 ” closed/open ended wrenches*( 2) 9/16 ” closed/open ended wrenches*( 2) 3/8 ” sockets and socket wrenches*( 2) 1/2 ” sockets*( 2) 5/16 ” sockets*( 2) 9/16 ” sockets*( 2) 3/4 ” sockets* Socket wrench extension* Center punch* Adjustable box wrench* Hammer or mallet( I used a plastic weighted mallet to protect the paint) 3. The assembly instructions are pretty straightforward and provide ample description and illustrations to guide you. Below I will list my lessons learned during assembly and what step& page number of the assembly manual I am referencing to help anyone who is reading this and about to assemble one in the future. Step 3( page 23) Make sure to take your time on this step as it is super critical to get correct. After you have measured and taped your 0 ’- 3 1/2 ” line on your middle and bottom pole it is time to connect the middle pole to the top pole. Make sure your properly align the middle pole and top pole so that the vertical trough, or indent, on the middle pole is perfectly aligned with dimple/bump on the top pole. When bouncing, or picking up and hitting onto the wood, the two poles together against the piece of wood on the ground make sure your are making even contact on the top pole to the wood so that the pole connects evenly and is not skewed. Step 4( page 24) The same principle as noted in step 3 above pertains to step 4. Only this time you will be bouncing the previously connected middle and top piece assembly into the bottom piece. This time there will be a vertical trough/indent on the bottom pole that will align with the dimple/bump on the middle pole. Again take your time to properly align. I also suggest standing on a step ladder when doing this section to get a higher hold on the pole producings better bounce onto the wood for proper connection. For both Step 3& step 4 the goal is to make sure the poles connect and reach your 0- 3 1/2 ” tape mark ensuring you have proper overlap of the connecting poles for proper assembly. Step 5( page 25) This was one of the more awkward steps. I found it easier to lay the base on its side and I supported the pole on top of one of the steps of my step ladder to get the pole to the proper position. I was then able to install the base plate and( 2) bolts for this step. Make sure you have the pole oriented in the correct position as you do not want to start all over at later stages if your pole is 180 degrees off. Step 11( page 31) This step looks tricky but just layout your pieces for each upper tube assembly and each lower tube assembly so that you have it “ mocked ” up before installing. For me it was easier installing the lower tube assembly with the triangle bracket first. Then I installed the upper bracket assembly. The most important part of this step is to NOT over tighten the bolt and lock nut. The diagram on page 31 shows that you have sufficiently tightened the bolt once the bolt end is flush, or even, with the outside face of the lock nut.( Over tightening these will make it difficult to lower and raise the hoop post assembly) Section B Step 1( page 33) My only tip here is to make sure you are on an even surface with the base and the sawhorse. Also I would suggest placing several pieces of cardboard or a mat to protect the face of the backboard when doing this step. Section B Step 2( page 34) My advice here is DO NOT over tighten. Use hand tools only and do not use an electric or air ratchet for this as you could crack the backboard. Section B Step 4( page 37) Do not over tighten these screws as they will strip the threads and continue to spin... trust me I did this. I fortunately had larger screws that I was able to make work after re- threading these. Everything else is pretty straightforward and easy to do. Don ’ t forget to purchase a few bags of sand( buy the bags of sand in plastic bags and you can place them in black garbage bags to protect them from getting wet in the elements. I would not recommend placing the sand directly into the base compartment as it would make a mess and be difficult to remove if you ever want to move the entire hoop assembly to another location. I hope you all enjoy the hoop as much as we are!! Cheers, Chris

I bought this hoop for my sons( ages 6 and 10) to replace a 13 year old system that had seen better days. The upgrade in quality was immediately noticed after the system installation was complete. The backboard response is incredible, and prepares the children well for gym play now that they are both involved in team sports. Another great improvement is the height adjustment system. Once set up, the goal can be easily raised and lowered to accommodate the age difference between my children. No more using a broom stick to adjust the goal height.:-) Finally, I hired a professional installation service to assemble the goal, which took the installer just under 2 hours to complete by himself. I have seen other reviews that complained about the installation instructions, but my installer, although experienced, had no complaints. In his words, it was one of the better systems that he has seen.

We just assembled our hoop system and are very happy with it. I had two friends( who are handy) help me and, together, we assembled the system in about 2. 5- 3 hours. The directions were clear, although it would have been easier to read them if there were separate booklets for each language. The tip video on YouTube was really helpful to see some of the finer points of key assembly elements. We had all the parts we needed, but I wish that the bags of assembly parts had been more clearly labeled with the contents inside to save us a few minutes of cross- checking. That said, use of the the measuring tape and part reference page was enough for us. As soon as the hoop was up, my kiddo was out shooting baskets. We haven ’ t yet put the water in the base and are relying on sand until the freeze passes. Even so, the hoop is stable and the backboard performs well. IMO, this system is a great value. Make sure you factor costs for assembly help or friend favors into your budget when you consider the overall purchase. This project definitely requires at least two people for assembly.

Ordered in- ground base for bball pole via website. I mistakenly ordered the wrong one( only option). It arrived and did n't match up. I phoned Lifetime, spoke with nice person, who said the product I needed was n't shown on website for some reason. He walked me through ordering the right one, then coordinated with returns to arrange a next day, no charge to me, pickup from FedEx of wrong part. Easy Peasy. Thanks Lifetime.

We bought this basketball hoop about 15 years ago. My boys and their friends have played on this hoop so much and we have loved it. It lowers and raises pretty easily, which they like because then they can dunk it even if they are n't that tall. The backboard has never broken or cracked, and the break- away rim is awesome! The only thing we have had to replace is the net, and that is just from lots and lots of use. I would recommend this hoop to anyone who enjoys playing basketball or just shooting hoops for fun. Looking forward to many more years of use.

Recently purchased this hoop as a gift for my 11 yr old daughter who plays CYO basketball. After a few days of online research and store visits I was confident this model was the correct setup for her needs and our budget for a portable hoop system. The main features that sold me on this unit were the large backboard and the dual weighting method of both water and sand bags. In advance of my installation review I will tell you the pros and cons of the hoop post installation. Pros: 1. Super stable system with just the water filled in the base.( I have added sand bags into the base and 2 ground screw anchors( into the adjacent grass) with ratcheting straps for additional safety.) 2. The backboard has superb bounce/feel. We all know portable hoops are infamous for a non- realistic “ feel ” when a shot goes off the backboard, but this model is amazing! Not only are shots received well off the backboard but the entire hoop system is stable and does not shake or rattle like other units I have played on before. 3. Ease of adjustment up and or down which my11 yr old and 7 yr old can operate on their own. Easy to move as well. Please note I only moved the hoop post assembly and before I filled it with water. I would imagine it would be more difficult to do after it is filled with water and probably produce unwanted stress on the support poles when trying to do so. I also adjusted the hoop height to the lowest level to make it a bit easier to move into its playing position. 4. Impressive overall size. While the system itself does not take up a huge amount of real estate the size of the backboard and hoop is great in comparison to others I have researched and played on. 5. Amazing quality. Even though there were other more expensive units and many less expensive units I truly believe this was the best value and quality for the price point. Cons: 1. The protective removable plastic film over the backboard gets stuck in the perimeter of the metal surround. I know this sounds petty, but they must apply this removable file over the backboard and then screw the metal surround on during manufacturing. What happens is when removing the film portions of it still remain between the metal surround and the backboard and are impossible to remove. This is more of an aesthetics issue as it does not affect the performance of the hoop but I am a perfectionist. 2. Believe it or not I have nothing else. The hoop met my expectations after my extensive research and comparisons. Shipping: 1. The box came from a freight forwarder. They contacted me to schedule a delivery date and time and arrived on time. It was unloaded and brought to my side yard. The overall package size was much smaller then I was anticipating but was heavy. You will need a furniture dolly or hand truck to move it around by yourself or 2 people. Assembly:( Assembly took approximately 3 hrs and 20 minutes with 1 person) 1. The parts and pieces in the box were packaged very well. After unboxing I suggest going through the manual to organize your main assembly parts and hardware according to the various stages to make assembly more efficient. This is definitely an item that needs to be installed outside unless you have very high ceilings/rafters in your garage. 2. Tools and Equipment needed:* Tape measure* Wood board( for assembly main poles together.( I used a 2x8 I had)* Saw Horse( I used a standard plastic saw horse)* Ladder or step ladder 8ft tall* Flat head screwdriver* Phillips head screwdriver*( 2) 3/8 ” closed/open ended wrenches*( 2) 1/2 ” closed/open ended wrenches*( 2) 9/16 ” closed/open ended wrenches*( 2) 3/8 ” sockets and socket wrenches*( 2) 1/2 ” sockets*( 2) 5/16 ” sockets*( 2) 9/16 ” sockets*( 2) 3/4 ” sockets* Socket wrench extension* Center punch* Adjustable box wrench* Hammer or mallet( I used a plastic weighted mallet to protect the paint) 3. The assembly instructions are pretty straightforward and provide ample description and illustrations to guide you. Below I will list my lessons learned during assembly and what step& page number of the assembly manual I am referencing to help anyone who is reading this and about to assemble one in the future. Step 3( page 23) Make sure to take your time on this step as it is super critical to get correct. After you have measured and taped your 0 ’- 3 1/2 ” line on your middle and bottom pole it is time to connect the middle pole to the top pole. Make sure your properly align the middle pole and top pole so that the vertical trough, or indent, on the middle pole is perfectly aligned with dimple/bump on the top pole. When bouncing, or picking up and hitting onto the wood, the two poles together against the piece of wood on the ground make sure your are making even contact on the top pole to the wood so that the pole connects evenly and is not skewed. Step 4( page 24) The same principle as noted in step 3 above pertains to step 4. Only this time you will be bouncing the previously connected middle and top piece assembly into the bottom piece. This time there will be a vertical trough/indent on the bottom pole that will align with the dimple/bump on the middle pole. Again take your time to properly align. I also suggest standing on a step ladder when doing this section to get a higher hold on the pole producings better bounce onto the wood for proper connection. For both Step 3& step 4 the goal is to make sure the poles connect and reach your 0- 3 1/2 ” tape mark ensuring you have proper overlap of the connecting poles for proper assembly. Step 5( page 25) This was one of the more awkward steps. I found it easier to lay the base on its side and I supported the pole on top of one of the steps of my step ladder to get the pole to the proper position. I was then able to install the base plate and( 2) bolts for this step. Make sure you have the pole oriented in the correct position as you do not want to start all over at later stages if your pole is 180 degrees off. Step 11( page 31) This step looks tricky but just layout your pieces for each upper tube assembly and each lower tube assembly so that you have it “ mocked ” up before installing. For me it was easier installing the lower tube assembly with the triangle bracket first. Then I installed the upper bracket assembly. The most important part of this step is to NOT over tighten the bolt and lock nut. The diagram on page 31 shows that you have sufficiently tightened the bolt once the bolt end is flush, or even, with the outside face of the lock nut.( Over tightening these will make it difficult to lower and raise the hoop post assembly) Section B Step 1( page 33) My only tip here is to make sure you are on an even surface with the base and the sawhorse. Also I would suggest placing several pieces of cardboard or a mat to protect the face of the backboard when doing this step. Section B Step 2( page 34) My advice here is DO NOT over tighten. Use hand tools only and do not use an electric or air ratchet for this as you could crack the backboard. Section B Step 4( page 37) Do not over tighten these screws as they will strip the threads and continue to spin... trust me I did this. I fortunately had larger screws that I was able to make work after re- threading these. Everything else is pretty straightforward and easy to do. Don ’ t forget to purchase a few bags of sand( buy the bags of sand in plastic bags and you can place them in black garbage bags to protect them from getting wet in the elements. I would not recommend placing the sand directly into the base compartment as it would make a mess and be difficult to remove if you ever want to move the entire hoop assembly to another location. I hope you all enjoy the hoop as much as we are!! Cheers, Chris

I bought this hoop for my sons( ages 6 and 10) to replace a 13 year old system that had seen better days. The upgrade in quality was immediately noticed after the system installation was complete. The backboard response is incredible, and prepares the children well for gym play now that they are both involved in team sports. Another great improvement is the height adjustment system. Once set up, the goal can be easily raised and lowered to accommodate the age difference between my children. No more using a broom stick to adjust the goal height.:-) Finally, I hired a professional installation service to assemble the goal, which took the installer just under 2 hours to complete by himself. I have seen other reviews that complained about the installation instructions, but my installer, although experienced, had no complaints. In his words, it was one of the better systems that he has seen.

We just assembled our hoop system and are very happy with it. I had two friends( who are handy) help me and, together, we assembled the system in about 2. 5- 3 hours. The directions were clear, although it would have been easier to read them if there were separate booklets for each language. The tip video on YouTube was really helpful to see some of the finer points of key assembly elements. We had all the parts we needed, but I wish that the bags of assembly parts had been more clearly labeled with the contents inside to save us a few minutes of cross- checking.

Got this to replace an in- ground 60 '' after a move. Somewhat leary about a portable coming from that, but after researching I really liked the hybrid options for moving more easily and not having to drain water or sand every time. That in itself is a great feature. I can move 4- 5 bags of sand in a couple minutes and re- adjust the hoop. It's not light which is good, but it is very manageable. I was able to roll it through grass without too much trouble, but this was before putting water in the base. The wheels roll well enough, but are very short so a smooth surface is obviously the best for moving. The construction itself was not overly difficult, I did it mostly alone only asking help to stand it up. Being very cautious to read the instructions several times and inventorying, assembly took about 3- 4 hrs. Tip: you really want to make sure to align the poles well and put the top 2 pieces together before the bottom. Playability- wise it's very solid. Some vibration on side, off angle shots and louder thuds with the back board than tempered glass, but not bad. I think it was a very good purchase and recommend this especially at 60 '' which you do n't find often for portables. Shipping took 7 days, but hassle to schedule the freight. Just a note the backboard was cracked with a 5 '' hole upon delivery, but was able to call same day and had a new backboard in 4 days. Nice service!

NERVOUS
First and foremost, let me say I 'm greatful for the previous reviews on this site and others. Things I found especially helpful from other reviews:- Recommendation to lightly sand the inner/outer surfaces of the two main poles before trying to join them. I 've read horror stories of this step taking hours to complete, but thanks to the recommendations I read before trying it myself it was done in ~10 minutes.- Recommendation to read through the assembly instructions carefully before delivery... To make sure you have the appropriate tools, etc. From beginning to end, the entire process took ~5 hours. To be fair, this included several breaks for things like eating lunch, playing with the kids, etc... I took my time and was deliberate with each step. Also, I did a majority of the work by myself. I did have assistance when needed from my two kids( ages 7 and 9) as well as my wife. NOTE: You will definitely need at least one other able- bodied adult to complete several of the steps involved in assembling this product. My initial impressions of the product after putting it together are, `` It's very well- made! '' After using it for a couple of weeks, I still have the same opinion. In short, I 'm very happy with this purchase and fully expect this product to last for many years! Other thoughts that have crossed my mind:- 60 '' glass backboard with pro- style breakaway rim is visually impressive; especially for a portable system.- I had my doubts about the 'portability' of this system given its size, but I have to admit it's fairly easy to move around, even on a slight grade.- The square two- piece main pole is quite stout and the elevator arm height- adjustment system is well- designed. The result is a very realistic indoor court 'feel' to the backboard and 'bounce' to the rim( at any height); which is hard to find in a portable system.

We got this for our kids because they are falling in love with basketball but are still young so we wanted one that was adjustable in size and moveable( since we will be moving in a few months) and something that would last while they grow up. We 've bought tons of stuff from Lifetime and have n't been disappointed. Set up took a bit longer than we thought, but I believe that happens with just about anything that you put together. But given the features of it, we were fine with it. We filled it with sand and that helps it stay put. We are n't doing any major dunk contests... yet, but having the ability to anchor it down makes me more comfortable for older kids and adults getting more aggressive when playing and dunking. Speaking of dunking, rebounding off the rim and the backboard felt great and not shaky or flimsy. I think the thing I like best is how easy it is to adjust the height. When I was a kid, we had to use a broomstick to get the hoop higher or lower. This, well, I feel spoiled by it. We 're not professional basketball players by any means, this is a great hoop for your front yard or cul- de- sac and keep up with the basketball players who are way better than I am.

I have had the hoop for 5 months. I play everyday. Has very good feel off the board. It does wobble a little bit but never bothers me or others when shooting.

We tried to put the basketball goal together and basically ruined the post part. I spoke to Kyle on the chat option. He quickly solved our problem at no charge to us, I was so relieved. Great service great people.

We bought this a year ago and it's been great. During covid lockdown we moved it down to the street in front of our house and the kids in our hood played for days. Had one issue with something breaking and customer service was great to deal with over messaging.

Pretty easy to move with two adults, just remember to lower hoop to 7. 5'. ... I fortunately had larger screws that I was able to make work after re- threading

Recently purchased this hoop as a gift for my 11 yr old daughter who plays CYO basketball. After a few days of online research and store visits I was confident this model was the correct setup for her needs and our budget for a portable hoop system. The main features that sold me on this unit were the large backboard and the dual weighting method of both water and sand bags. In advance of my installation review I will tell you the pros and cons of the hoop post installation. Pros: 1. Super stable system with just the water filled in the base.( I have added sand bags into the base and 2 ground screw anchors( into the adjacent grass) with ratcheting straps for additional safety.) 2. The backboard has superb bounce/feel. We all know portable hoops are infamous for a non- realistic “ feel ” when a shot goes off the backboard, but this model is amazing! Not only are shots received well off the backboard but the entire hoop system is stable and does not shake or rattle like other units I have played on before. 3. Ease of adjustment up and or down which my11 yr old and 7 yr old can operate on their own. Easy to move as well. Please note I only moved the hoop post assembly and before I filled it with water. I would imagine it would be more difficult to do after it is filled with water and probably produce unwanted stress on the support poles when trying to do so. I also adjusted the hoop height to the lowest level to make it a bit easier to move into its playing position. 4. Impressive overall size. While the system itself does not take up a huge amount of real estate the size of the backboard and hoop is great in comparison to others I have researched and played on. 5. Amazing quality. Even though there were other more expensive units and many less expensive units I truly believe this was the best value and quality for the price point. Cons: 1. The protective removable plastic film over the backboard gets stuck in the perimeter of the metal surround. I know this sounds petty, but they must apply this removable file over the backboard and then screw the metal surround on during manufacturing. What happens is when removing the film portions of it still remain between the metal surround and the backboard and are impossible to remove. This is more of an aesthetics issue as it does not affect the performance of the hoop but I am a perfectionist. 2. Believe it or not I have nothing else. The hoop met my expectations after my extensive research and comparisons. Shipping: 1. The box came from a freight forwarder. They contacted me to schedule a delivery date and time and arrived on time. It was unloaded and brought to my side yard. The overall package size was much smaller then I was anticipating but was heavy. You will need a furniture dolly or hand truck to move it around by yourself or 2 people. Assembly:( Assembly took approximately 3 hrs and 20 minutes with 1 person) 1. The parts and pieces in the box were packaged very well. After unboxing I suggest going through the manual to organize your main assembly parts and hardware according to the various stages to make assembly more efficient. This is definitely an item that needs to be installed outside unless you have very high ceilings/rafters in your garage. 2. Tools and Equipment needed:* Tape measure* Wood board( for assembly main poles together.( I used a 2x8 I had)* Saw Horse( I used a standard plastic saw horse)* Ladder or step ladder 8ft tall* Flat head screwdriver* Phillips head screwdriver*( 2) 3/8 ” closed/open ended wrenches*( 2) 1/2 ” closed/open ended wrenches*( 2) 9/16 ” closed/open ended wrenches*( 2) 3/8 ” sockets and socket wrenches*( 2) 1/2 ” sockets*( 2) 5/16 ” sockets*( 2) 9/16 ” sockets*( 2) 3/4 ” sockets* Socket wrench extension* Center punch* Adjustable box wrench* Hammer or mallet( I used a plastic weighted mallet to protect the paint) 3. The assembly instructions are pretty straightforward and provide ample description and illustrations to guide you. Below I will list my lessons learned during assembly and what step& page number of the assembly manual I am referencing to help anyone who is reading this and about to assemble one in the future. Step 3( page 23) Make sure to take your time on this step as it is super critical to get correct. After you have measured and taped your 0 ’- 3 1/2 ” line on your middle and bottom pole it is time to connect the middle pole to the top pole. Make sure your properly align the middle pole and top pole so that the vertical trough, or indent, on the middle pole is perfectly aligned with dimple/bump on the top pole. When bouncing, or picking up and hitting onto the wood, the two poles together against the piece of wood on the ground make sure your are making even contact on the top pole to the wood so that the pole connects evenly and is not skewed. Step 4( page 24) The same principle as noted in step 3 above pertains to step 4. Only this time you will be bouncing the previously connected middle and top piece assembly into the bottom piece. This time there will be a vertical trough/indent on the bottom pole that will align with the dimple/bump on the middle pole. Again take your time to properly align. I also suggest standing on a step ladder when doing this section to get a higher hold on the pole producings better bounce onto the wood for proper connection. For both Step 3& step 4 the goal is to make sure the poles connect and reach your 0- 3 1/2 ” tape mark ensuring you have proper overlap of the connecting poles for proper assembly. Step 5( page 25) This was one of the more awkward steps. I found it easier to lay the base on its side and I supported the pole on top of one of the steps of my step ladder to get the pole to the proper position. I was then able to install the base plate and( 2) bolts for this step. Make sure you have the pole oriented in the correct position as you do not want to start all over at later stages if your pole is 180 degrees off. Step 11( page 31) This step looks tricky but just layout your pieces for each upper tube assembly and each lower tube assembly so that you have it “ mocked ” up before installing. For me it was easier installing the lower tube assembly with the triangle bracket first. Then I installed the upper bracket assembly. The most important part of this step is to NOT over tighten the bolt and lock nut. The diagram on page 31 shows that you have sufficiently tightened the bolt once the bolt end is flush, or even, with the outside face of the lock nut.( Over tightening these will make it difficult to lower and raise the hoop post assembly) Section B Step 1( page 33) My only tip here is to make sure you are on an even surface with the base and the sawhorse. Also I would suggest placing several pieces of cardboard or a mat to protect the face of the backboard when doing this step. Section B Step 2( page 34) My advice here is DO NOT over tighten. Use hand tools only and do not use an electric or air ratchet for this as you could crack the backboard. Section B Step 4( page 37) Do not over tighten these screws as they will strip the threads and continue to spin... trust me I did this. I fortunately had larger screws that I was able to make work after re- threading these. Everything else is pretty straightforward and easy to do. Don ’ t forget to purchase a few bags of sand( buy the bags of sand in plastic bags and you can place them in black garbage bags to protect them from getting wet in the elements. I would not recommend placing the sand directly into the base compartment as it would make a mess and be difficult to remove if you ever want to move the entire hoop assembly to another location. I hope you all enjoy the hoop as much as we are!! Cheers, Chris

I bought this hoop for my sons( ages 6 and 10) to replace a 13 year old system that had seen better days. The upgrade in quality was immediately noticed after the system installation was complete. The backboard response is incredible, and prepares the children well for gym play now that they are both involved in team sports. Another great improvement is the height adjustment system. Once set up, the goal can be easily raised and lowered to accommodate the age difference between my children. No more using a broom stick to adjust the goal height.:-) Finally, I hired a professional installation service to assemble the goal, which took the installer just under 2 hours to complete by himself. I have seen other reviews that complained about the installation instructions, but my installer, although experienced, had no complaints. In his words, it was one of the better systems that he has seen.

We just assembled our hoop system and are very happy with it. I had two friends( who are handy) help me and, together, we assembled the system in about 2. 5- 3 hours. The directions were clear, although it would have been easier to read them if there were separate booklets for each language. The tip video on YouTube was really helpful to see some of the finer points of key assembly elements. We had all the parts we needed, but I wish that the bags of assembly parts had been more clearly labeled with the contents inside to save us a few minutes of cross- checking. That said, use of the the measuring tape and part reference page was enough for us. As soon as the hoop was up, my kiddo was out shooting baskets. We haven ’ t yet put the water in the base and are relying on sand until the freeze passes. Even so, the hoop is stable and the backboard performs well. IMO, this system is a great value. Make sure you factor costs for assembly help or friend favors into your budget when you consider the overall purchase. This project definitely requires at least two people for assembly.

Got this to replace an in- ground 60 '' after a move. Somewhat leary about a portable coming from that, but after researching I really liked the hybrid options for moving more easily and not having to drain water or sand every time. That in itself is a great feature. I can move 4- 5 bags of sand in a couple minutes and re- adjust the hoop. It's not light which is good, but it is very manageable. I was able to roll it through grass without too much trouble, but this was before putting water in the base. The wheels roll well enough, but are very short so a smooth surface is obviously the best for moving. The construction itself was not overly difficult, I did it mostly alone only asking help to stand it up. Being very cautious to read the instructions several times and inventorying, assembly took about 3- 4 hrs. Tip: you really want to make sure to align the poles well and put the top 2 pieces together before the bottom. Playability- wise it's very solid. Some vibration on side, off angle shots and louder thuds with the back board than tempered glass, but not bad. I think it was a very good purchase and recommend this especially at 60 '' which you do n't find often for portables. Shipping took 7 days, but hassle to schedule the freight. Just a note the backboard was cracked with a 5 '' hole upon delivery, but was able to call same day and had a new backboard in 4 days. Nice service!

We purchased the Slam- It Pro to replace our broken rim and so far we love it. Parts: came with everything we needed. I do recommend reviewing the installation prior to taking down the old one. We were required to use a spacer from the old one so I could see that being something someone would toss. Installation: was a bit tough because you do not have a lot of space to work with. We installed it with the backboard upright so that could have been part of the reason we took a while to get the bolts secured. Use: once installed we have used it and it is sturdy. cant complain about it. All that is left to see is how well it takes on daily use.

We bought this for our kids this past Easter. They have been asking for one for quite awhile. We were never interested in purchasing a basketball standard that required us putting it in a hole then filling with concrete. When we moved into our current home we had the perfect spot to put it and a nice sized driveway. Previous mobile hoops we 've used never felt secure. The back board and rim would shake excessively after every shot. This hoop is nothing like that. It's balanced well and very solid. I love the ease of raising and lowering the hoop. I grew up using the end of a broom stick so this is a wonderful feature. Assembly does require at least 2 people. Follow the instructions and it will go together well. Very satisfied with our purchase.

VeryHappyCustomer
I really loved the detail of the instructions during assembly! Each section had its own bag of bolts, washers, nuts, etc. I ’ d recommend opening one bag at a time for the section you ’ re working on instead of opening everything at once. I assembled it alone in about 5 hours, however I read over each section several times before starting because I want to be detailed as possible and not make any mistakes that I would have to undo later, lol. Be sure you have a power drill with a Phillips head for the screws going in the plastic frames on the backboard. Don ’ t really understand the negative reviews? This was purchased for my 6 year old son who wants to learn and start playing basketball. The rim height adjustment is great, currently it ’s set at 8 feet for him. As he grows I can raise the rim higher. Goal rolls easily on it ’s 2 wheels when moving. Overall I ’ m very happy with this purchase!

We 've had this basketball system for about 2 years now. We 've enjoyed using it as a family and it has newer had any. Problems. The thing i like about it is how durable it is for how much it costed. It's survived all the things we 've thrown at it and gone through two pretty brutal winters. At one point it accidentally tipped over and it was still in good condition. They adjustment is quick and easy for the kids to use and I do n't have to worry about them operating it themselves.

I bought this goal for my then 7 year old son. A few weeks ago, he was upset that a shot he had taken somehow broke the back board. I rolled my eyes at the prospect of having to buy another one. I took a stab at calling lifetime just to see what they would do. To my surprise, the unit was still under the 5 year warranty. Our purchase had been 4 years and 6 months ago. The rep directed me to their web site and the warranty claim link. I uploaded a few pics, and within a week we had the new back board, no questions asked. It restored my faith in American companies. Good job Lifetime. I am definitely impressed.

[ We have the 44- inch Pro Court Portable Basketball Hoop with the blue base. This is a well- made piece of equipment that will provide our young grandchildren years of use. It is easy and straight forward to assemble. It took just slightly over an hour for us to assemble it. The instructions are well written and easy to follow. The only tools you will need are a couple of wrenches and a common and phillips screwdriver. In less than a minute the height can be changed so that children of varying height and skill levels can play. I have found that it is easier to lean the backboard forward and rest the pole on a chair, cooler or similar object than to get out one or two ladders and change the height with it upright. The base is heavy enough that the pole should not fall on someone as long as they don ’ t hang on the hoop. This is a great hoop for our grandchildren. The range of height( 7 ’ 6 ” to 10 ”) mean that more of the grandchildren will be able to play. As we have a few aspiring NBA players( hopefully in a few years at least) this will allow them play against their cousins and allows us to cheer them` on.

I bought this hoop about 3 months ago, just barely started putting it together. Turns out that I was missing a part as well. I called the manufacturer and they sent it right out. Took about 4 days to get it. It went together great.... Until I got to the handle assembly. What a bear to put together!!! That is what took the most time, but I eventually got it together. As long as you stop and look really closely at the manual, its easy. 2 adults needed to put it together.

My friend has this setup and it is awesome! I really like the glass backboard which makes it feel like an authentic NBA hoop. My friend fills his base with water from the garden hose every spring and easily drains out the water every fall. It is really heavy and stable when filled with water but it is easy to move once the water is drained. So many portable hoops are junk, but this one is truly a quality product!

The product came well packaged, and there were no signs of obvious damage. All pieces were accounted for and clearly marked. Assembly was straightforward, with simple instructions. With two people working slowly and carefully, assembly took about 60 min, including unpacking and clean up. After filling with water, the system is heavy and difficult to move. It took three people to move it up the driveway. The design would be improved if there were four wheels with two that lock in place. The quality of the materials is excellent. There is very little shaking or wiggling in the backboard and rim. It's a very solid and sturdy build. The height adjustment takes a bit of time to crank to full, but since it's smooth with no set increments, it can easily accommodate any desired height. The clear backboard is wonderful, and has a nice rebound to it. It's size is also enviable for portable systems and does n't feel small. The rim is also excellent quality and feels like you 're playing on a professional court. The design would also be improved if the system could somehow fold down for storage, but that might be asking too much. Overall, I highly recommend this product.

This revolutionary new product is the first of its kind and lets you instantly switch between full court pool basketball and pool volleyball in seconds with no tools required.

Easily assembled and durable enough to withstand hundreds of slam dunks without showing any sign of wear. This is the second `` over the door '' basketball hoop I have bought my grandson. The first was good and this one is better. He loves it and that's the bottom line!

I bought this as a gift for an 8 year old boy because my 7 year old son spend hours in his room using his hoop. It's very sturdy and holds up to flying off the bed slam dunks( not mother approved).

Bought the smaller one at first for our kids( 17, 6, 11) Had for a couple years. Backboard broke in half when our 6 year old decided to `` dunk ''. Cut his arm when it came down. However, he eats, lives and breathes basketball. So I decided to buy him this one since the backboard is a little bigger. So far, so good! I 'm sure we will get plenty of years out of it like we did the last one! He uses it EVERY day!

Purchased this for my sons 10th birthday. He has played with it everyday since he got it! His dad easily put it together. The only downside is that the hoop should be collapsible. Being it hangs from the door that would prevent it from breaking. So my son posted a sign on the back of the door reminding those to enter carefully. I also wish I could have purchased extra balls for it.

This rim is amazing, and it has stood up to everything we have thrown, or hung on it. This rim allows us to lower the basket for impromptu dunk sessions without worrying about breaking the rim or the backboard. I would definitely recommend buying the heavy duty rim, especially if you plan on dunking/hanging on the rim.

My kids lower the goal and dunk on it, seems great for every day play.
When selecting a professional grade basketball hoop, consider features such as the hoop's height adjustment range, backboard material, and rim quality. A sturdy in-ground installation typically offers better stability and durability compared to portable options. Additionally, look for hoops with tempered glass backboards for optimal rebound and performance.
Professional grade basketball hoops are often constructed from high-quality materials designed for durability and performance. Common materials include tempered glass for backboards, heavy-duty steel for the frame, and weather-resistant finishes to withstand outdoor conditions. These materials contribute to the hoop's stability and longevity, making them suitable for rigorous play.
The right height for a professional grade basketball hoop typically depends on the age and skill level of the players. Standard hoop height for adults is 10 feet, but adjustable models allow for lower settings, making them suitable for younger players. It's important to choose a hoop that can accommodate different heights as players grow and improve.
Having a professional grade basketball hoop at home offers numerous benefits, including the ability to practice shooting and skills at any time. It can enhance family bonding through recreational play and provide a space for fitness and exercise. Additionally, a high-quality hoop can increase the value of your property by adding to your outdoor amenities.
Professional grade basketball hoops are designed with superior materials and construction compared to standard hoops, making them more durable and suitable for serious play. They often feature larger backboards, better rim technology, and enhanced stability. This makes them ideal for competitive play, while standard hoops may be more suited for casual use.
Installation is a crucial factor when purchasing a professional grade basketball hoop. In-ground hoops typically require concrete footings for stability, while portable models may need less permanent setup. It's important to assess your available space, local regulations, and whether you will need professional assistance for installation to ensure optimal performance and safety.
