I did extensive research on an inground basketball system for me and my family and boy did the Megaslam 72 really deliver and we are the envy of the neighborhood! We are so happy with the system and the NBA regulation backboard looks great in our 3 car driveway. So if you are hesitant of purchasing, pull the trigger, the system is far and beyond the competition. Fast and easy deliver process too.

If you're like me, you've researched a bevy of other hoop systems, hoping to find key details that highlight one system over another. I did that... for nearly 3 months before I decided on the XL. Frankly, I'd never heard of Megaslam previously; but, boy am I glad I decided to give it a try. From the moment it was delivered by UPS, I knew i had a winner. It's size is obnoxiously... well, obnoxiously XL-pun intended. And when the installers came, they simply reiterated what i had already figured out, there's nothing, at that price point, that's a big and solidily built. It took 3 highly experienced guys to install the goal and they continuously lauded the XL's impressive stature. They strained getting it together due exclusively to its weight and XL size. But the fun came afterwards, as neighbor after neighbor stopped by to ask how much and who makes it. I've had so many folk just marvel and a basketball goal. And trust me, I reside in a upscale neighborhood; so, my neighbors aren't easily impressed. Bottom line, if you want the best your money can buy, get the XL, you want regret it trust me! P.S. Now with all the good being stated, get ready to pay an installation cost that is heftier than most any other system. In the end, even the relatively high installation cost was understandable, given the laborious effort required to install this heavy (800lbs+) goal system.

I bought this a year ago. I did a lot of research. It's not easy, there's a lot of marketing hype out there. Finally made the call on MegaSlam (the video from a guy comparing it to ProDunk helped a lot.) I found the video on YouTube at the time, now they have the video on their site. (smart). It shipped very quickly relatively speaking. Instructions are much better than you'd expect, could use a few tweaks, but I was satisfied. Packaging was nice. About what you'd expect difficulty wise to install. You'll need a few strong friends for an hour to set the pole, and to put the backboard on. Very nice construction. They didn't cut corners (I hate it when I get a product, and then notice all the cheap-outs). This was opposite, solid, good attention to details. slightly overbuilt for the need. which is great. It looks great. It works great. My High School son is pretty hard on it, 15 years old, 6"2' and can slam. He and his friends have really enjoyed it. They lower it sometimes and really go to town. Nice padding, has held up very well. Had to tighten the rim twice over the year. Used support twice for a couple questions. They were awesome. Just bought the light, that I'm installing now, will review later. So very happy with the purchase. Would definitely buy again. Expensive, but appropriate for the quality and lifestyle it's helped with.
