This is the best Basketball hoop/system I have seen outside a gymnasium. Unbelievable quality and stability. You get what you pay for, this hoop looks like it will last forever. The backboard and rim response are as good as it gets. I woulb purchase again in a heart beat. I purchased the system due to having 2 small girls (5 & 4) and being able to lower the rim to 5ft is perfect, they can shoot the ball properly and will not learn any bad habits of throwing the ball. The system will grow as they grow. Do not hesitate to purchase this system.
