This is a fantastic basketball hoop system. I am a mechanical engineer and I find that this is a well engineered and well manufactured system. It installed exactly as described in the manual. It goes up and down with ease. The steel components are of more than adequate thickness and strength. I would highly recommend this for anyone who wants a serious, high quality, hoop.

This hoop is solid, extremely solid. Like the website says, it will definitely take some time to dig the hole and fill it with the proper amount of concrete. Doing that part correctly is important and no shortcuts should be had. After patiently waiting a few days for it to cure, we set our new hoop upright and we couldn’t be happier with the ease of installation and the final appearance. This hoop is as solid as any commercial grade unit you’d see on a playground or at a school but aesthetically it looks even better than those and especially great on our home driveway. Biggest tip on a purchase? Plan your attack. Have help available to dig, mix, and mount at each step. We have a sub-compact tractor that made certain steps easier, such as receiving the pallet at initial delivery, but a lot of the final mounting takes finess with the bolts that need to be lined up. You have to be patient with each step and in the end you’ll be very pleased with the result. Looking forward to years of one on one, dunk contests, and pick up games.

The mega slam looks fabulous in our front yard and my son loves that he can move it up and down. What a great investment!
