OK, it takes a lot of work to install with a base of almost 1300 pounds of concrete, but once it was finished it was rock solid. My kids said how much better it was versus the hoops at the playground. No regrets at all in choosing this hoop. It is very well made with quality materials. It looks like it will last many decades.

I spent a few months researching other systems on the market and finally decided on the Mega Slam. This is absolutely the most well-built system you can buy. Installation was easy (just a little elbow grease and some additional muscle needed) but this thing is SOLID and far superior to any system I've had in the past. You will not be disappointed!

Which is the best basketball hoop to purchase, is the system going to sway back and forth, which size should I get, should I really spend so much money, what if I am not happy with it, will it be difficult to adjust, all of these questions are what went through my mind. I have been putting off purchasing a basketball hoop because of the overall cost of not just the basketball system itself but the concrete as well. After about a years time I chose the Mega slam because of the quality and warranty that Mega Slam stands behind. This is by far the most I have ever spent on any sport type of equipment however after spending time playing with my baby girl who is 13, I realize that it was just a small cost in comparison to the fun and memories she will always remember. If your putting off getting your Mega Slam System because your not sure of the quality I have great news for you, the system is very easy to lower and raise even for my daughter. I purchased the 72 XL, it is extremely sturdy and does not sway back and forth. If you decide to invest in a Basketball Hoop , Mega Slam is the way to go.
