Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

This is a great, sturdy, very easily adjustable portable b-ball setup. This is no flimsy portable system. After a few games it is sturdy and doesn't move at all.

It's insanely easy to adjust height with the handle and spring system. It's a bit wobbly for my taste, but i could probably tighten something to get it a bit stiffer. Easy adjustable hight, for kids and for pro players.

Need two people for assembly, as indicated in the instructions. Attaching the pole to the base is awkward so two people makes it easy. Same with attaching the backboard to the pole.

You need to top the base up in the air so the send will pour in. Cut it down and tape the spout to the base port with duct tape. The base works fine with water, and has had no leaks in a year.

The tool i used the most is the ratchet. I'm not super handy, but i had the correct tools (rubber mallet is the most important tool for this project imho, do not try to put this together without one! They only issue i ran into is you need 2 of each wr... Read More

Cons

Backboard completely marred up by the pipes. Second large item we have purchased through amazon that after unpacking had to go through the process of repacking to return.

Price

Super happy with the hoop and the price was very reasonable.

One-person is do-able but with a lot of frustration and sweat involved.

Shipping

Great shipping super easy to put together.

Also, i firmly believe that there are many steps in the set-up that could have been done already by the manufacturer while not ... Read More

Only poor area is the shipping box and part quality.

Packaging/appearance

1 star deducted for not having pre-drilled holes on the backboard to screw in the padding.

We separated each bag of parts in a series of flat box lids and kept the packaging so we knew which box lid to grab at each poi... Read More

Don't know if that was ups fault or amazon packaging.

Competitiveness

Good quality system for a 10yr old & his friends - easy to adjust, and pretty stable.

Kind of spendy but worth the money.

I have a 12yr old and a 6yr old.

I opted for just setting (8) 50-lb sand-bags on it.
