Megaslam

I did about a month of research and it was worth it. This has to be the best basketball hoop in my neighborhood. Everything is heavy duty from the main pole to the backboard. The instructions were great. Customer service was very knowledgeable and helpful. If you are thinking about another brand hoop instead of the MegaSlam hoop, just watch the Mega Slam vs. the Competition video on this site. I highly recommend the MegaSlam hoops.

The hoop is as advertised
More than I was expecting even with the thickest steel in industry
Holds my weight no problem and I weigh over 220lbs
I would recommend this product to anyone in the market for one
Between the strength and the look, I would think would very hard to find something that competes with this product

Very happy with the basketball hoop so far. We purchased the 60" to install in our driveway for the kids. The most difficult part of the installation was digging the hole and pouring the concrete, which I did myself. Other then that, myself and one other person were able to install the rest of the hoop in an hour or so, obviously allowing the concrete to cure prior to installation. Instructions were easy to follow. Save yourself a few hundred bucks and install yourself. I chose this product after many hours of research in store and on line. I narrowed it down to this hoop and one other, however I felt this product gave you everything you would need at the best price point. Everything about the product is solid and the best part is that it lowers to 5 ft, which allows my 6,4, and 2 year old to all use it. The only disappointing thing was that the rim had bubbling paint and in the bottom corners the paint was rubbed off exposing the metal.. Don't feel that this is MEGASLAM's fault as it most likely happened in transit. Perhaps you could review how you package the rim to assure it arrives in great condition, as the pole and backboard did. If you're looking for the best hoop on the market with the best price, you can't go wrong with MEGASLAM!
