Great Customer Service

I bought a basketball hoop for Christmas and the base was leaking water. I submitted a warranty claim and got a response right away. Randy did an awesome job emailing me the status of the claim. I received a new one. Thank you.....

Good quality

This is a good quality portable basketball system. It was extremely hard to assemble requiring two or three of us, but once it was complete, it works beautifully!

Can't go to 10'

Assembly was long but nothing I couldn't handle. However, it's impossible to clip it on the last clip to make it 10'. The bolt comes up about 1/4" short.

Assebly is a nightmare

Took us a week of small sessions to get this up and it's crooked. Instructions were poor and did not include enough pictures/diagrams... had to look up images online. On the plus side, that brought us to this site where we can post a review.

Great Product

I have had this basketball system sitting in my driveway for around 4 years exposed to the south Florida weather and it looks and performs like new. Excellent quality and build. Highly recommended. Customer service exceptional....

Looks great

Looks very nice but that's the only positive. The backboard shakes excessively on all shots. Even a soft touch doesn't keep the ball from bouncing erratically. The 10 foot setting is only 9 feet 9 inches which makes the world of difference.

Durable and reliable

I have had this hoop for a long time now and haven't had any problems with it. The adjustment still works great and it has never broken. I highly suggest this hoop to put in your yard for the kids to play on.

Good buy

Had it for 2 days so far. Assembly was not too bad (3-4 hrs with mostly just me and my 6 & 8 year old boys helping). I like the 54” full size backboard. Time will tell if it’s durable.

our 3 kids love it (ages 9, 8, 5)

We bought this as a birthday gift for our son. It took me and my husband 3+ hours to put together. I disagree with the other reviews about bad directions. The directions are not difficult, but you have to follow each step very carefully.

Good product

I watched and read the instructions. Could not find my specific model video. I had issues with the nuts not turning straight when putting them.with the bolts. Had to buy 2 large bolts because the onces the box came with were not straight.
