I have a drop off behind the hoop so I needed a net. This one works great but I also wanted a net that looks good. This one looks sharp and is very sturdy.

The Net Protect is essential for my setup to stop the ball from going down a pretty steep hill. Had it installed a month ago on my asphalt driveway and so far so good. It looks awesome and has functioned perfectly. Only reason I gave 4 stars is there is no "easy" way to bring the net up to protect it during heavy wind storms. So far we have had a few windy days and it has held up perfectly. Crossing my fingers that this continues to be the case.

No regrets here. This unit is the real deal. Quality from top to bottom. My son and I love it! I also picked a good time of year to get it. March Madness really gets the basketball juices flowing. Even purchased the net which is fantastic too! Yeah, it’s pricey but you get what you pay for. Basketball goals are like big screen TVs too, 6 months after you buy it, you wish would have gotten the one 2 or 3 sizes bigger. Go ahead and get the 72in or the XL. I got the 72, but really wish I would have gotten the XL. Don’t get me wrong I love mine. All the neighbors are envious. One neighbor said he decided to get a goal installed after seeing mine , so he went to all the top box stores around here. He came back a day later and essentially said what he saw was no comparison to what I had and he ended up ordering a Megaslam. The UPS guy delivered a package to my house yesterday and could not take his eyes off this unit as he left my driveway. He almost drove his truck in the ditch staring at this monster in my driveway. I’m telling you this thing gets attention. It really incredible. I think it makes my entire home, yard, and driveway look better.
