I rarely do reviews but I wanted to give a review to Mega Slam. After a lengthy process of researching so many companies and products I decided to go with Mega Slam XL. Of course I would end up selecting the most expensive system that Mega Slam sells but I am so glad I did. From start to finish, the entire process from getting my questions answered to the final installation has been nothing short of perfect. UPS delivered my XL in great shape and on time. The written installation instructions and video were very helpful. We followed them exactly as written except for one exception. When it came time to install the backboard (very heavy and a little awkward) I decided to improvise on the suggested instructions. I decided to back my pickup under the backboard arms and we set the backboard on the truck bed sides. The backboard was plenty long to reach from side to side. The truck bed took all the weight of the backboard. I just backed the backboard directly under the support arms. We then lowered the arms down to match up directly with the attachment point on the backboard. It went perfectly and with very little effort. When my son and I played our first game on the system we were both shocked at how sturdy and strong it was. The backboard didn't move at all. No vibration too! Even with very long shots that would rebound off the rim or backboard the entire system was rock solid. I couldn't be more pleased. The powder coat was great too. Living in a harsh winter environment will be the test this coming winter. I did lose my first game of horse to my son but was thrilled with the potential of all the time that we will spend with my kids and 22 grand kids! Thanks Mega Hoop for making our home a much more friendly place for our kids and grand kids to create memories with me.

The hoop is absolutely awesome. Super sturdy, easy to raise and lower even for my 100 pound son. We are more than satisfied in the product!

Very well made product ! Looks like a pro hoop !!
