Of which it seems every other review speaks, this thing is HIGH QUALITY! Wow. I can't get over how much better this makes shooting hoop in the driveway! Such a drastic difference from the water/sand filled portable hoop! The way the ball bounces off the rim and backboard changes everything! Even the net makes a beautiful "swish" sound. The quality of the components, pole, backboard, rim, etc. are extremely nice (and heavy)! Install of the hoop itself was pretty straight forward. I recommend using some of the videos found on youtube for added tips and tricks. The one I found most helpful is titled "Install a basketball goal like a pro". It's from 2016, but seems to still apply. I was able to get the hoop itself (meaning pole, backboard, rim) installed with the help of my wife and adult son. Really need at least 2 adult (or older teen) males in my opinion. The most difficult part of the install process by far was digging the hole! Of course that will also depend you your soil. But I highly recommend it as it's not that complicated. Installer wanted to charge me $1K to do it! Ouch. My only regret is that I did not get the 72". I got the 60". I'm playing on a 3 car wide driveway. I thought the 72" might be too large and intrusive, but after getting the 60" up, I don't believe it would be. Oh well, maybe some day I'll go ahead and replace it with the 72" as I assume it would fit right over the current mounting plate.

For anyone questioning if it's worth spending the money on one of these goals I'll say this "buy it once and be done". This thing is well built and will last for many years to come. Very high quality and fairly easy to install.

Solid system in every way. If you follow instructions exactly and have 2 people and then 4 for quick backboard install it will take 2-3 hours max.
