Great product. Easy to install

Myself, my children and their friends use this basketball hoop to both practice and for pick up games. We have had some of the less expensive hoops before, but they always seem to be flimsy and do not hold up under weather conditions. As our boys got a little older and became more proficient in basketball, it became evident that we had to purchase a hoop with more stability and a glass backboard. The only negative about the hoop might be that it is a little difficult to adjust, mainly for the smaller kids. Overall, We love it!!!!!!!

Our Family plans to use our new goal to have fun togehter as our girls learn to play basketball. In the 2 short months we have had our goal, our Family time togheter is priceless and it is wintertime who knows ho much we will use it when it is warm - even my WIfe is out there shooting hoops! Our Austrailian Shepherds, Boomer and Roo, have proven to be great defenders! Who knew? We especiallly thank you FleXtreme Hoops for the careful coordination with Santa and using a big truck to deliver this goal instead of taking so much room in his sleigh. FleXtreme Hoops really are slam dunks!

Still in the garage. Dug the whole for ba se, but then the snow came and we have not been able to set it up yet. Looking forward to Spring.

The goal itself is great. The backboard response is the best of any driveway unit I have ever played on and the adjustment mechanism is easy enough to operate that my 7 year old daughter can adjust it to the height that she wants. But I am disappointed in the post-sale service. When I inspected the goal after the professional installation the weather cap on the bottom of the adjustment arm was torn. I contacted FleXtreme to get a replacement cap and they told me they don't stock just the cap - I would have to BUY the entire arm to resolve the issue. They also said that it would not be covered under warranty since it was damaged during installation. I have no idea when it was damaged but it's extremely disappointing that my expensive brand new basketball goal has a damaged spot an easily replaceable part and the vendor basically washed their hands of it. So, I recommend, but with a caveat.

Perfect driveway basketball goal. I can't believe I hadn't bought this type of goal previously rather than the cheap portable type. I can't wait for it to warm up a little so we can use it even more.

Extremely easy to install. Great product and competatively priced.

Overall a great hoop. It is very solid from the in-ground anchor, the pole, the backboard to the rim. I would definitely buy this again. A few parts were missing in the original delivery, but they responded very quickly. The cranking handle for adjusting the height is a little awkward to use, but we don't adjust our hoop. Thanks

I purchased the FleXtreme for our family for christmas. Due to the weather I have not been able to set it up wet but from inspecting the product all the material used if very high quality & very well constructed.

Overall good product. My installer shattered the backboard during installation, so you really have to watch out for the warning, which is in the instructions, and the small package with the plastic spacers. The bag with the spacers, and its warning, got misplaced during installation and both I and the installer missed the warning in the instructions. I would argue it should be more apparent, particularly since I had to buy a replacement backboard, which nearly doubled the price. Now that it's up, I am satisfied. The adjustment, however, is not as easy as the website would indicate. My seven year old cannot turn the crank, and moving the board from 10' to 6' is a bit of a workout for me also. The unit also shakes (slightly) as the backboard is lowered. Despite that, I would still recommend it.

On-line installation video was very useful. Phone service was excellent. Needed a couple self tap screws and they responded promtly. Overall quite please with product and customer service. All in all, it's a better dollar spend with these systems then with the local vendors - you get way more for your money!!!!

i got kids used to shooting at lower heights, than gradually would raise it. you can lower it and slam it just like the big boys, and you dont have to worry about the system crashing down. watch your forearm when cranking.

Have only had it for a few months, but so far so good. Installation was a breeze for two guys. Only wish I could have afforded the bigger backboard. You can see and feel the quality construction. The design is nicer than your avg system too.

Rim is a little firm, but very easy to adjust height as my five year old has no problems.

we purchase the "gold" system. it is perfect for our family. we have 2 teenagers that play competitive ball and a 5 year old girl who is able to lower and raise hoop herself. good response from backboard. very sturdy hoop that survived a night of 80+ mph windgusts. shipment from texas to washington state was 4 days...awesome. SUGGESTION: Follow the instructions for installation on You tube...the paper directions that come with the hoop are terrible....but if you follow the you tube video....it is soooo easy. I am not a handyman by any means, and it was a snap(once i stopped trying to understand the paper instructions)...i used approx. 14 80# bags of premix and i rented a small electric mixer for $20. The best $20 ive spent in a long time. Great system that i would highly reccomend to anyone. thank you!

Love the stability of the system. Backboard response is awesome. It actually looks awesome in our backyard!

product is sturdy (heavy) and very well packaged. installed it with a friend and my wife who placed all of the bolts while we did the lifting. very nice, clean looking system with simplicity a key. really like the thick tempered glass action and the fact that EVERYTHING you need comes in the package

I'm very happy with the quality of the product. The paint job & s.s. bolts indicate that it should remain looking good for a long time. My kids & grand kids are really enjoying it.

I researched hoops for quite awhile before deciding on this brand. I am extemely happy with the solid construction and response of the overall hoop and especially the backboard. I thought setting it up might take some time, but my two sons and I had it completed in less than two hours (not counting concrete of course). I am very happy with the result. My other concern was hoop adjustment. I liked the idea of the brands that had "lift handle", but it seemed to be pretty heavy when you had a decent sized and quality backboard. The crank in this system takes a little longer and some "elbow grease", but works very well and doesn't rely on a lot of strength to adjust it. I didn't comment on weather resistance, because we haven't gone through a winter yet, but by all appearances, it should hold up fine. I would definitely choose this system again.

This beautiful basket is a significant step up from the unit I had that blew down in a thunderstorm a few months ago. I wish it cost less, but I like it and enjoy using it. It is relatively easy to adjust--my 11 year old finds it a bit tough to adjust, but he is able to do it. I like that it actually goes down to below five feet.

Two high school varsity pla yers (and friends) practice on this and love it - rugged, responsive. I was concerned about spending so much money on something I hadn't seen in person, but this was worth the risk. Solid construction. Minor criticism - the height adjustment guage could be better.

We use the hoop for family fun and my teenage son uses it to practice his basketball skills. We enjoy the hoop very much. When we are outside it usually draws our neighbors over also.

I replaced a portable version because I wanted the best for my high school pla yer. This system is rock solid! We use it for practice, drills and just home fun games. It is easily of the same quality as the professional versions at the local BB center yet designed for the home. Assembly was easy too!

Bought this hoop as a birthday gift for my three boys: 8, 4, 2.5 yrs. This was one of the only hoops that would adjust low enough for my 4yr old to shoot. He can even hang on the rim like his big brother. We all love playing on it and I know that we will be using this for dozens of years to come. I didn't want to waste money on a flimsy portable hoop, or buy one that my younger boys couldn't use until they got older. It was also important to me to get thick glass backboard and sturdy construction. After months of research, I determined I would have to spend nearly double the money to get anything better made without any compromises. These hoops are a great value. Setup was easy. I did everything myself (well the boys did hand me bolts and nuts), except lifting the backboard in place. You need at least two guys for that part, along with someone to push the bolt in place. Overall, I can heartily recommend FleXtreme Hoops to anyone who wants a great hoop and a great value.

We're having a blast. The system is really really impressive. There's really no negatives. It's so solid it's like playing in a gym. It doesn't shake at all--a testament to both the system and the installation. In fact, it shakes so little, I forgot until I played on different system last weekend that shaking is actually a problem some basketball systems have. The bottom line is that we go out to play and it's ready for us. I can't possibly imagine a better system. We've raised it and lowered it, no issues. My kids are 5 and 8 and have been playing on it so much that they've noticeably improved in fewer than 3 weeks (if the older one thinks she's MJ, the younger one is now committed to being "Kobe". LOL!) To the FleXtreme folks: if you have folks who need installation in the maryland area, I can't recommend Kenny and his Reliant Assembly team high enough. The job required flexibility. Flexibility in the installation given the specific needs and layout of the court and backyard. And flexibility on scheduling--I'm in a high stress position with a very busy schedule and , for example, I asked Kenny if we could get an earlier start than is his usual to solve a schedule conflict for me, and he made it seem to be no problem at all (no hemming and hawing, just Ok, we can do that). They convey professionalism. Kenny and the gentleman working with him, Mike, were very professional when they were here--they explained everything to me and then did exactly what they explained. The installation looks very clean. And they were very nice, personable people (don't underestimate the value of that when someone is installing something that is supposed to be fun for your kids).

very well built.

Overall very satisfied with the quality of this Basketball Backboard and goal. My neighbors kids were just over and used it for the first time and they commented that our goal was "awesome". All materials are of very high quality and the unit looks great in our driveway. Backboard and rim are quite solid and missed shots bounce high off the rim as they should. Looking forward to cooler weather and more play.

I'm the type of guy that does extensive research on something before I pull the trigger and by it. This system is awesome! This was definitely the best purchase I've made in a long time. I have had so many people compliment my backyard. Just go ahead and talk with Keith and Ryan and buy it. You definitely won't regret it.

While we were disappointed with the extreme delay due to multiple backorders, the hoop was worth the wait. It is very big, sturdy, and solid. Hopefully, it will give our 4 kids many years of playing. The only thing I would change is to have a more permanent height marker with a less flimsly plastic protector. Otherwise, it's a great system.

By far has exceeded our expectations! After we had it installed, it wasn't two days until the calls started rolling in from our neighbors about it. Our "court" is definitely the talk of the neighborhood now. I can say enough good things about this system. It's worth every penny and more!

Compared to my friends and neighbors, the quality can't be beat. The system doesn't shake, and the ease of adjustment works well for my 7 year old...

Product is solid- looks very nice; high-end materials. Rim, backboard, net all of high quality. Pole and padding also well done. My only complaint is it takes some effort to raise the rim after it has been lowered. Young children (under 10) struggle.

Awsome goal that was very easy to set up. Cheaper than most goals that are comparible. Can't go wrong with this set up!

Well built, very stable

The installation of the basketball goal was quite simple, with only a few parts to assemble, compared to competitors products. I am more than satisfied with the stability and durability of the system. I would definitely recommend this product to all my friends...enemies are welcome to buy from another manufacturer.

Seems a little unstable

Self install, factory installs a lot of frame and padding fasteners and that saved effort on my side (thanks). The ball seems to springs off the glass and the system resists shaking while playing. A disappointment has been when lowering the backboard it has an awkward bounce while turning the adjustment handle. There isn't any issue raising. I haven't pursued a solution, having too much fun playing. I would recommend this system to a friend.

MANUFACTURER RESPONSE:

atl, try loosening the 8 lock-nuts at the pivot points. Many customers unnecessarily tighten these down which can make adjustment more difficult and cause the "bouncing" action you're describing.

I cannot seem to stop raving about our Gold FleXtreme backboard. Not only does it play like a professonal piece of equipment, it actually gives our property great curb appeal. Everyone who sees it and more importantly plays on it are just taken with its performance and asthetics. I cannot remember the last time i got this type of satisfaction from a purchase. Add to this, great customer service and you have a winning product and business. My family and i thank you for creating such a product.

Solid product. I would recommend to others. The instructions could be made better for those installing themselves. The installation actually doesn't have a lot of steps, but the instructions make it take longer than it should. I am not sure if they tested the instructions with someone that had never worked with a basketball system or not. In the end I figured it all out and everything looks and works great, so not a fatal flaw, but rather a chance to improve an already good product.

The hoop not only looks great, it is very sturdy. When the ball hits the backboard, it does not vibrate. I am very happy with this purchase.

high school practice time for kids

I really like this product! I spent a lot time researching adjustable systems. The Gold system is priced well and an excellent value for the money. It's very sturdy and the backboard is great for bank shots - bounces very true with 1/2 inch glass. This is the versatility I was looking for - something that would adjust down for my kids, but also up to the 10' level for some serious shooting practice. I play full court hoops 2X a week and this a great quality gym-like system! I highly recommend the Gold system :)

This Basketball system was easy to install, very well made. I also had questions and the company responded to me very quickly answering all my questions thoroughly.

I played overseas for 3 seasons and I have a 4 and 2 year boys and it plays to all our standards. The kids are playing everyday and I have my friends over for some serious ball. There are 2 options, go big with the FleXtreme system or buy a cheap system at Walmart.

Mostly used for fun with the kids. Several boys in the neighborhood have asked permission to use it when we are not around. Adjustment is extremely easy, however it did not adjust down to 5 1/2'...and you need to be careful not to force the adjustment to go lower as you can bend the "stop" pin and extension arm.

MANUFACTURER RESPONSE:

Bob, feel free to take out the "stop" pin as this is an optional feature for parents that do not want their children lowering the system below 7 feet.

I found the system to be structurally sound, fairly straightforward to set up (although it took a lot of study on my part) but most of all the kids have a blast with it. While the system uses some very sturdy steel, i was disappointed that the limiter pin which holds the top from going below about 7 feet already has dented the top arm, my 9 year old was able to bend the pin; I would've expected a little more beef for something like that. But overall, very satisfied and the kids will use it for many years to come.

MANUFACTURER RESPONSE:

Bill, feel free to take out the "limiter pin" as this is an optional feature for parents that do not want their children lowering the system below 7 feet.

Happy with the quality and how easy it is to adjust.

We have had the pole basketball hoop and the one you fill will water or sand but both blew apart in the high winds we experience. We opted for a higher quality, heavy duty basketball goal and are very impressed with this one. Took some effort assembling (heavy) but well worth the amount paid. Shipping was fast recieved within a couple days of ordering. Thank you FleXtreme :0)

Our family is loving this hoop. The kids have already used it more then I had imagined they would. The buying process was fast and easy. The product is superior to anything I have seen outside of the pro courts. Shipping was quick and I am so glad I took the time to research before I bought. Now others don't have to bother. Just purchase here and enjoy.

I bought this for my two young sons (ages 7 and 5). The adjustability is key for my situation and my 7 year old can adjust the height himself. I installed this myself a month and a half ago and it is the hit of the neighborhood. Other than digging the hole and dealing with the bags of concrete, the installation was easy. The only thing I needed help with was lifting the backboard in place while my wife slid the bolt to secure it. The post-concrete installation process took about 1-1.5 hours. I would recommend this product, in fact, I already have to several people.

I love it but when i dunk in moves a lot and i would like to be able to adjust it a lot faster

Fast shipping, easy assembly but could use more photos/diagrams. Highly recommended.

This hoop will get plenty of use in the future, 3 boys under 7.

I installed mine behind a retaining wall. Your staff was very helpful with my questions regarding the installation. I definitely think my setup was very unique due to the location installed. I used 20 - 80lb of concrete for my installation but it came out perfect. Thank you for a quality A+ product.

I bought this system because of one reason...the warranty. My friends and i love to dunk and needed a system that is easily adjustable and can withstand the ruff play of dunking. The warranty allows hard play without the worry of the system breaking. With this hoop it feels like i am playing in the gym...right outside my house!

We installed this ourselves and everything went well - excellent customer service

My boys have not stopped playing basketball...my poor neighbors hear that ball from morning till night.

Very sturdy, high quality materials means that the system doesn't detract from my home's appearance. Easy installation - the only part I needed helpers for was to hoist the backboard onto the supports - otherwise I did the rest by myself. Shipped fast and right to the location it was to be installed. Adjustment is simple and safe enough for my 9 year old daughter to handle. By far one of the nicest hoop systems I have seen. No buyers remorse here!

My first backboard was broken in transit. Replaced no questions asked Very professional. I put together myself needed help to hang arms & backboard not difficult. Top Notch System

I built a court in our backyard and it didn't take long for all the neighborhood kids to come over and try out our new basketball system. I think the quality of the materials is great and it really looks stunning. My 7 year old daughter can easily raise and lower the rim as necessary.

My seven and two-year-old boys and even my four-year-old daughter all love their FleXtreme hoop! It lowers to five feet so the younger kids can also enjoy it! It's just like playing on a regulation basketball goal in an gymnasium, except its conveniently located in "our own backyard." The boys hate rainy days now though, because they cannot go out on their FleXtreme goal!!!

My hoop was shipped immediately and went together smoothly. Thank you for the installation help. I'd recommend your web site and product to anybody!

Today we had 6 boys and 2 dads dunking on our new FleXtreme Hoop. We have nothing but complements on the system. We had pla yers out on the court for about 5 hours straight, playing 2v2, 3v3, knockout and slam dunk contests. This is a great product, and it finally gets the kids back outside and off the video game consoles.

Just sending you a quick email to thank you for the wonderful basketball system. We ordered the hoop which was delivered in a week and a half, and your referral for Assembly Wiz worked out beautifully. Marlon worked very hard to make sure the installation was done in a professional and timely manner, and we just wanted you to know that we were very pleased with his efforts. Sincere thanks and we are glad that our children will have a safe and superb system for developing their basketball skills and playing family games.

My family and I love using our Hoops FleXtreme basketball goal!

I am extremely pleased with my Gold basketball system. The quality of the product is amazing. Each part is obviously heavy duty and built to last. The rim alone is very sturdy and surprisingly heavy. The entire buying process emphasized customer service including informative web site, pre-order questions, prompt shipment and professional service from the delivery team. I was able to install with help of a relative, my wife and my two daughters. It was some work to get the hole dug in the clay soil, but after that the install was quite easy. The concrete mixing & installation of the anchor system was finished in 2 hours. One week later the actual set up of pole, backboard & rim was completed in 1 hour. Now that the new Gold system is up, I'm the envy of the neighborhood. My next door neighbor said it is such high quality, she is expecting to see NBA pla yers show up to play in the driveway. My kids like the professional look and the easy to adjust height control. Highly recommended! Thanks for the great service!

I thought you might like to see 'the final job.' The Kids are happy and play almost every day. Thanks for your help.

Great service and we could not believe how easy the system was to install. The boy's love it. You guys really have a great product. How do you become a dealer for your equipment? I would really be interested in getting in your business.

We had our system professionally installed. Assembly only took the installers 45 minutes from start to finish. They said it was easy to install because there were only 15 fasteners in total and the padding was pre-attached saving them about 30 minutes. This system is well designed and uses high-quality materials. I would definitely recommend this product.

Very sturdy and easy to use.
