Megaslam

Very nice basketball hoop. Seriously heavy duty and likely to stand the test of time. The ability to adjust the pole AFTER the base is set (within reason of course) is great. Do make sure you have help putting up the backboard; that 1/2" glass is heavy! We're quite happy with it so far.

I considered purchasing several other hoops before finally deciding on the Mega Slam 60. I couldn't be happier with this product. You get what you pay for.

We've had our MegaSlam-60 for several months now and I couldn't be happier. The system looks great, but more importantly, it is SOLID! I've played basketball competitively for 25+ years and I didn't want a hoop that would shake when I dunked on it, much less shot the ball. My research led me back to MegaSlam. Unfortunately, I didn't have many comparisons to look at in our neighborhood, so I went with recommendations online and an installer that I spoke with, who installs hoops from all kinds of brands throughout the year. They told me that MegaSlam was easily the best because of the weight and thickness of the steel and the commercial grade quality of the backboard and rim. I'm very glad I trusted them. I can dunk on this thing and put all my weight into it, Shaq-style, and it slightly dips and then returns to a static state immediately. Shooting on it is like shooting at your local gym - it's that good. Raising and lowering it is easy; so easy that my 7-year old does it herself. And I love that we can put it down to 5.5 feet so that even my neighbor’s toddlers can give it a go. I did have an installer put it in because of A) the weight, and B) I didn't want to mess it up! I'm glad I chose that route. The cost wasn't extreme and because you're buying the system online and there's no additional retail margin, the total cost ends up being comparable to a box-store brand. But you can't go wrong with this one. Don't let the lack of examples in your neighborhood sway you from considering this option. You won't be disappointed!
