My teenage son and I installed this ourselves. We were hoping that it would measure up to our hopeful expectations. Let’s just say it exceeded all of them. This thing is solid as a rock. The completely clear backboard is majestic to the backdrop. It truly adds beauty to our property. A worker we had at the house yesterday stated he’s never seen one so nice. We love that there is absolutely no give to the backboard or the rim on shots. But the breakaway rim is very nice as my son can grab onto it. I will not kid you, it requires some work to install. Digging the hole was a job. And we mixed 26 eighty pound bags of cement to fill the hole. After that the hard part was done. Could not wait for it to set up and dry to mount it. Me, my son, my daughter and I were able to lift the backboard requiring all the effort we had. While my wife put the bolt in. Doing the project with my son gives it all the more meaning and a sense of deep satisfaction when we do play on it. I reviewed the competitors on this and hands-down mega slam I believe has the best product.

After a lot of research and comparing this to the "equivalent" Pro Dunk and Goalrilla systems, we bought the MegaSlam 60". We came upon the MegaSlam by recommendation of our friends and a local hoop installer. As we were told, this is the best built, sturdiest, in-ground system available. The entire product is built from high quality materials and it is obvious the designers carefully considered stability and weather resistance. The post and backboard are rock solid, adjustment is via a feather-light crank system, and it looks amazing in the driveway. Ordering, delivery and un-packing were very smooth. I highly recommend the MegaSlam....BTW, there's a YouTube video comparing the MegaSlam to Pro Dunk....watch and you'll see the difference.

Excellent quality and great guidance in installation.
