I have twin 5yr old boys and have been looking at in ground systems basically since they were born. I'm from NC and this is Basketball country! I knew I only wanted to do this once, so I wanted the best system I could afford. I had all but made my mind up on a competitors system, but when I finally was ready to pull the trigger, I decided to browse their site one last time to refresh my memory on exactly WHY they claim to be the best. In doing so, I just so happened to run across an explanation on THEIR site as to what makes them better than MegaSlam. "We don't use Stainless Steel Hardware because..., Our Pole is smaller because..., Our goal doesn't go below 7' because..., You don't need 12 gussets on the base-4 is sufficient..." etc. After reading through their list, I didn't agree with half of their reasoning? As a result, I started researching MegaSlam and simply found their system to be more durable, and "over engineered" as their competitor stated. Is there such a thing as over engineered Basketball Goal? I assume it's possible, but on a Basketball System, I found all of the "over engineered" items to be added benefit. The ordering process was simple, delivery was just as advertised, prep & installation were right in line with the instructions, and my entire family has thoroughly enjoyed the goal so far. All fit & finishes seem to be of excellent quality and I fully expect to get YEARS of enjoyment!
