This thing is great! I debated on many other products but I’m happy I went with Megaslam. The hot dipped galvanized and powder coated steel should stand up to our Pennsylvania weather. This hoop is for kids now due to the 5’ height, but I wanted something that could grow with our family. Large adults have dunked and hung on it and there is very little wobble. It is very stable. Not sure if every hoop designed like this is the same, but it takes a lot of cranks to adjust from 5 to 10 feet. The old style broomstick adjustment was much faster.

Of which it seems every other review speaks, this thing is HIGH QUALITY! Wow. I can't get over how much better this makes shooting hoop in the driveway! Such a drastic difference from the water/sand filled portable hoop! The way the ball bounces off the rim and backboard changes everything! Even the net makes a beautiful "swish" sound. The quality of the components, pole, backboard, rim, etc. are extremely nice (and heavy)! Install of the hoop itself was pretty straight forward. I recommend using some of the videos found on youtube for added tips and tricks. The one I found most helpful is titled "Install a basketball goal like a pro". It's from 2016, but seems to still apply. I was able to get the hoop itself (meaning pole, backboard, rim) installed with the help of my wife and adult son. Really need at least 2 adult (or older teen) males in my opinion. The most difficult part of the install process by far was digging the hole! Of course that will also depend you your soil. But I highly recommend it as it's not that complicated. Installer wanted to charge me $1K to do it! Ouch. My only regret is that I did not get the 72". I got the 60". I'm playing on a 3 car wide driveway. I thought the 72" might be too large and intrusive, but after getting the 60" up, I don't believe it would be. Oh well, maybe some day I'll go ahead and replace it with the 72" as I assume it would fit right over the current mounting plate.
