I was hesitant making such an expensive purchase sight unseen from a company/brand I was not familiar. That instinct was overcome after watching a few helpful reviews on YouTube and a couple of thoughtful phone calls with Megaslam Customer Support. The system looks great and is rock solid. The ball comes off the rim or backboard as you would expect from. My son is off his X-Box and playing basketball with his friends every chance he gets. We look at this purchase as an investment in a healthier lifestyle. This is serious equipment. Unless you and your buddies are familiar with moving around 800-lbs. equipment, I would suggest having professionals install this equipment. It's not a complex installation, but does require a lot of coordination.
