I installed the Mega Slam 72” and I am very impressed with the quality of this hoop. I debated spending the extra money and going with the XL model as I am the type that firmly believes the bigger the better and you get what you pay for. I’m sure the XL is the king of all kings but the 72” is honestly all that is needed. Especially since I have it installed in our driveway and not on a dedicated court. Hands down the best goal in the neighborhood! I did a lot of research and am confident that I made the right decision. This thing is a beast and am very excited to use it with my family and friends for many years to come. Ordering was easy, It delivered quickly and was packaged better than…anything I think I’ve seen. Digging the hole was a pain but assembly was pretty simple. HEAVY…but simple. It took only a couple of hours with the help of my brother-in-law, wife and the bed of my truck.

Very nice hoop! the instructions need a bit of an upgrade as they are a bit hard to decipher. Other than that great hoop. Plenty of adjustments from the base to the goal!

With my 6 year old son outgrowing his portable youth hoop and my 3 year old daughter getting ready to start playing basketball, I decided to purchase a basketball hoop that could be used for both of them and would last a long time. I researched the different basketball hoop systems from most all of the vendors (Spalding, Lifetime, Goalrilla, etc.) and decided on the Mega Slam 672 because it was very competitively priced when you factor in the extras included with the system (full size 1/2 inch thick backboard, goalpost and base padding, and adjustable between 5.5-10 feet). The basketball hoop system arrived within a week of being ordered on three wooden pallets (it's a big system). Since I can barely hammer a nail in straight, I opted to hire a professional installer for $395. (Installers are fairly hard to find, Google recreational playground installers as an alternate search term). Once installed it was solid, as aesthetically appealing as a basketball hoop can be, and both my kids enjoy playing on it because it can be lowered to different heights. The only con (if you want to call it that) is that the rim is very stiff. Not sure if it needs to be broken in, but there isn't much give to it. Otherwise, I am extremely pleased with my purchase and would highly recommend the Mega Slam Hoop System to anyone looking to invest in a professional grade basketball hoop for their home.
