FX 72

Both the FX 72 and FX Pro feature a regulation 72" tempered glass backboard and are built as fixed-height systems, so the core playing experience is very similar. The key differences come down to pole size, overhang, rigidity, rim type, and intended level of play.

The FX Pro is built as the most heavy-duty fixed-height system in the lineup. It features a significantly larger 12" x 8" main pole, additional structural reinforcements, and increased overall weight to deliver maximum rigidity with virtually no movement during aggressive play. It also includes a 5’ overhang, providing more space under the basket with more flexibility to offset the post away from the playing surface. 

The FX Pro also comes standard with our 180° Pro Rim.  To read more about the differences between these rim types click here.

The FX 72 still delivers true regulation performance with a more practical and balanced design. It features an 8" x 6" main pole and a 4’ overhang, offering excellent stability and plenty of space for residential play while maintaining a more compact footprint.  The FX 72 comes with collegiate flex rim. However, for an additional charge you can upgrade to the 180° Pro Rim during the check out process.

So why upgrade to the FX Pro?
•    Maximum rigidity and stability with a larger 12" x 8" pole 
•    Increased mass and reinforcement for elite-level durability 
•    More space under the hoop with a 5’ overhang with more flexibility to offset the post away from the playing surface 
•    180° Pro Rim as a standard feature. 
•    The most pro-level, facility-grade playing experience available 

When would you stick with the FX 72 instead?
If you want regulation performance with excellent stability in a more space-efficient design, the FX 72 is the better fit for most dedicated courts.
 

The difference comes down to backboard size and budget, but both are fixed-height systems focused on rigidity.

FX 60
Designed for smaller areas at a budget friendly price, while still delivering elite stability with its heavy-duty 8” x 6” pole and 60” glass backboard. 

FX 72
Steps up to a full 72” regulation size backboard, larger structure, and creating a more realistic gym-style playing experience available in a fixed height system. 

Choose FX 60 if: 
•    Space is limited 
•    You still want premium performance without going full regulation size to preserve budget.

Choose FX 72 if: 
•    You want the closest thing to a real gym hoop at home 
•    You prioritize regulation backboard size

Yes—the FX 72 is absolutely suitable for competitive training.

It’s built around the same core elements you’d expect in a training environment:
•    72” regulation tempered glass backboard → delivers true, consistent rebound for shooting drills and game simulation 
•    4’ overhang → creates proper space under the basket for realistic footwork and finishing 
•    Heavy-duty 8” x 6” pole → provides a rigid, stable feel with minimal movement during play 
•    Breakaway rim → designed to handle repeated, aggressive use including dunking 

Where it fits within training scenarios
•    Ideal for serious training and skill development 
•    Great for pickup games and competitive reps 
•    Commonly used in schools, clubs, and churches due to its durability and fixed height design 

Bottom line
The FX 72 isn’t just “good enough” for training—it’s purpose-built for it.
If your goal is a consistent, regulation, no-adjustment-needed setup, the FX 72 delivers a locked-in, gym-style environment that serious players can rely on day after day. 

No, the rim height will remain constant at a regulation height of 10’.

The FX 72 features a regulation-size 72-inch wide by ½” thick tempered glass backboard for authentic arena-style play.

Since there is not any adjustment mechanisms on the rear of the pole, many families enjoy the ability to locate it as close as 6” to a wall or fence which maximizes available space for on-court action.
