Pros & Cons
Pros
The 54 hoop is the largest the attachment system could handle. It's a very solid and attractive backboard.
Easy to install to 316 u-turn bracket. Two bolt-on mounting brackets for mounting the application i have. Very easy to attach backboard to spalding u-turn 316 adjustable mount.
Hansen at competitive edge products, inc. A nice compromise between the $1000+ systems and the sporting goods chain store cheap-o's. Saved a lot compared to gorilla brand. Still find myself needing to call for a missing part!
Holding up well so far in inclement weather. Held up to -15 temps in the winter and performs well in the summer.
Highly recommend this rig, but recommend to read other reviews about installation and consult w/handy workers about how to install the system based on your method of madness.
Cons
Backboard material is much thinner than i expected - it looks like 1/4 inch clear plexiglass type material. Fixable, but a big pain.
Highlights
Quality
I recently bought this backboard and goal and i was not unhappy with the quality.
Extremely pleased with the quality and durability.
1/5 for mounting system should be 0/5 because it doesn't come with this product.
After i complained, amazon was quite good to me and covered the cost of the required mount because of this misleading product info.
Price
Is holding up well to regular use.
Shipping
Arrived with one corner dented a little bit, but the black plastic edge guards cover the shipping damage - not a big deal for us.
Packaging/appearance
Be sure to use the extension plates that are included with the backboard packaging.
The packaging these are shipped in is oddly shaped and not meant for shipping as is, they should be packaged in a second standard box.
The backboard arrived yesterday and there were a few screws loose on the packaging.

Only negative in my experience is that there was some hardware missing in the box that spalding promised to send that has still not arrived

However hardware was easy for me to find at my local hardware store

I suspect other buyers were not aware of the protective film that the board comes with it did look quite scratched and it was not apparent that a film was present though this information is provided in the instructions
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
You need to use a sharp blade to cuttrace the edges of the plexiglas to remove the film

The black protective plastic pieces on the bottom do not cover the center portion under the hoop unless there is an additional plastic piece that was missing in the kit
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
It is much easier to install with two people

Be careful to purchase the correct mount for where youd like to place it
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
We didnt the first time because the information led me to believe we didnt need it but there was a different mount required to space the backboard from our pole so the player doesnt hit the pole
