Amazon.com Product Description Play like the pros in your own backyard with the Spalding residential in-ground basketball system (model 88830), featuring the ergonomically designed U-Turn Pro lift system that easily adjusts rim height from 7.5 to 10 feet with an interior safety stop to prevent lowering the board below 6 feet 6 inches. A regulation 4-foot offset provides ample space for play under the rim and the heavy-duty pole pad adds an extra touch of safety from marauding hoopsters. It offers a one-piece steel square pole construction (6 inches square, made of 11 gauge steel) and a durable 3/8-inch thick acrylic backboard (60 by 38 inches with steel frame and pro-style extruded aluminum trim). It's matched with a Pro-Image breakaway rim that includes wrap-around support and steel rams with a heavy-duty, all-weather net.p strongfont color=CC6600BIGAmazon.com Basketball System Buying Guide/BIG/font/strongbr With the high-quality construction of many portable basketball systems, turning your driveway into a basketball court can be as simple as hooking up your garden hose. But while a portable system may ultimately be your best choice, there are reasons you may want to consider an in-ground or wall-mount system before you decide.p strongfont color=CC6600In-Ground Systems/font/strongbr In-ground systems are permanently cemented into the ground--either via a bolt mounting kit or directly into the ground--and are generally more rigid and take up less space than portables. In-ground systems often require that you hire a professional to complete the task, but when the cement dries you'll have a hoop that can take punishing dunks with ease.p Many in-ground systems are height-adjustable, include removable post features that let you take the system down for off-season storage, and feature heavy-duty break-away rims. You'll also want to research the adjustable mechanisms on the systems, as there are several types to choose from. Some feature a counter-balance spring that lets you perform easy, one-hand adjustments while others may feature a sturdy, pneumatic system.p strongfont color=CC6600Wall-Mount Systems/font/strongbr Wall-mount systems can be mounted to the side of a house, a tall retaining wall, or a garage. Generally sturdier than portables, wall-mounts have the added advantage of optimizing your existing ground space for the court, since you won't take any space up with the base or pole. Not all systems include the necessary hardware, so make certain you add a mounting kit to your list.p strongfont color=CC6600Portable Systems/font/strongbr Portable systems require minimal installation and offer ultimate convenience. These systems generally feature a base that can be filled with sand or water to stabilize them and include wheels for portability. Although they are not as sturdy as in-ground or wall-mounted hoops, portables are simple to set up and can often be folded for convenient storage.p strongfont color=CC6600Backboard Considerations/font/strongbr Regardless of which system you choose, you'll want to brush up on Backboards 101. Most residential systems feature backboards made of acrylic, fiberglass, graphite, or various other composite materials. While clear acrylic gives the professional look and feel of glass, it is not as rigid as fiberglass or graphite. Some systems may offer steel or aluminum backboards, which are virtually vandal resistant, but don't offer the true rebounding action.p The regulation size of an NBA backboard is 72 inches wide and 42 inches high. Most portable hoops are 42 or 44 inches wide and 36 inches tall. In-ground systems tend to be a bit larger, with 54-inch and 60-inch widths being the most popular. While rectangular shaped backboards provide more bank shot opportunities, they are generally more expensive than the streamlined fan-shaped board. p

  High quality unit September 27, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
My daughter plays Div. I basketball. I needed a good quality basket for her to practice on during the summer. This one works well. Her only complaint is that the bounce off the rim is not very forgiving. Personally, I think that makes her concentrate more on the accuracy of her shot.br /br /It takes some effort to install. Make sure you have some help during installation.
