I should preface this by noting that I am an engineer by degree and by nature, am extremely critical, and am regularly full of opinions of how thing could be done better (yes, I’m that guy). However, the MS660 has me stumped. The design is beautiful: no unnecessary complexity yet highly functional. Everything that could be pre-assembled was so (even the net was already attached) so field assembly was minimized. Nuts and bolts were labeled perfectly: no hunting for the right bolt for the right hole. Little plastic gap-washers were pre-glued into place to avoid the typically frustrating task of placement - brilliant. And, everything fit exactly as it should: excellent tolerance control. Full assembly took us less than an hour (not counting the concrete work).
It was heavy, but as my neighbor said: “if we have a tornado, I’m tying myself to this thing.” Everything about this goal is solid.
Just an amazing product: I could not be more impressed with the functionality and thoughtfulness of the design. The engineers at MegaSlam Hoops should be very proud.

very practical for 3 grandkids--not a tinker toy to install, and unless you are highly skilled in concrete, erection, etc., plan on hiring professional help for the installation--all representations by the marketing people are accurate

Customer service was absolutely outstanding in the transaction. I sent an inquiry email about 8pm one night and to my surprise got an email reply about 15 minutes later that created a conversation and closed the deal. For me to have someone answer my questions at that time was good enough to know their service was going to be top notch.

Other deciding factors were the simple straight across comparisons for the cost. Stainless steel hardware standard- makes sense to me. The size of the post, backboard, springs in the rim, ease of raising and lowering the system, and anchor system are all first class. The installer from the site for our area was meticulous about the install and there is actually about a ton of concrete in the base... it's not going anywhere. We are all very happy with the hoop and having a nicer system does get you out there more often just to use it. My son probably got in about 1000 more shots the first week it was up. An investment to enjoy for years to come!
