Finished installation. It was difficult, but very well worth the hard work. The MegaSlam 672 is strong and excellent quality.

Here is my perception after having this set up for about 6 weeks...

Looks: Incredible. We live in a development with a large portion of the homes that have hoops in their driveway. Some are in ground, and some are portable. We had a portable before this and we tossed it after 12 months. If I compare this to the other in-ground hoops in the neighborhood, it is simply the best.

Play: This is solid as a rock! Very little shake and this thing plays like you are at the arena. I have 3 kids, and so does my brother who lives near by. Husband and wife + 3 kids equals some good 5 on 5 play. Never had more fun as a family. One weekend we had over 18 kids and adults playing at various times. Everyone complimented on how well it played.

Dunk factor: Excellent. When I was in high school and college I was 6' and could never really dunk. My brother could, but I could not. Since I was a child, I always wanted to be in a slam dunk contest. Finally, my older brother and I have those dunk contests. He now weighs 260 pounds, and I am vertically challenged so we set it to 8.5' and slam for hours. It is fun for us, but entertaining for our wives and kids to laugh at some middle aged men playing fantasy dunk. This thing takes all the abuse we give it.
