I installed the goal about 2.5 months ago. My sons and I are happy with it so far. My sons, 10 & 8, shoot on the goal at 10 feet, at 6.5 feet (we have trouble lowering ours below 6.5'), and many heights in between. I'm happy we can adjust the goal below the 7.5 feet minimum of other goals on the market. Cranking this goal, though, does take some time. The friendly, knowledgable customer service folks at FleXtreme more than made up for the ambiguities in the installation instructions.

System arrived missing a j-bolt that was a bummer but Pro Hoops sent a new one after a few calls. The backboard was also damaged during shipping and am still waiting on resolution with this issue. Outside of the service issues, the system is great and is way better than the Goalrillas, Mammoths, and Goliaths in the neighborhood. My little kids (5 and 8) love the low height adjustment and can operate it easily by themselves. And I am getting lots of time on it shooting after work and on weekends.

Would give it a 5 star, but the backboard tends to bounce slightly on really hard shots at the board. I do feel it is very secure and stable in the ground and will last longer than I need it. Looks great, plays great overall and my 6 year old son absolutely loves it (especially the super easy height adjustment). Would definitely recommend it.

We researched all the hoops available before making a purchasing decision, and are very pleased that we selected FleXtreme. We use the hoop in our drive-way for family fun and a little bit of exercise. It looks great, without being bulky, and is by far the best looking and performing hoop in the neighborhood. The materials are top quality. It is obviously well built, and built to last. The FleXtreme is a great value!!

This hoop is very well made. The backboard is a the real deal - true response and no dead zone like on the cheaper acrylic models. My kids love the ability to lower the hoop down to 5-6 feet. They spent hours doing dunks, trick shots and just having fun with friends. Installation was clear and everything assembled easily per the instructions. It is some work digging and pouring the concrete ba
se - and the backboard is heavy so you will need help lifting and installing. But it is all worth it when you're finished and it is play time!

I was very pleased with the hole constuct of the system. It was delivered on the exact date that was estimated. I followed the well written instructions, the hardest part was digging the hole like everyone else says. I ended up renting a cement mixer which made it much easier on the hands and back. Once the cement dried (I gave it a full 10 days) I was able to put the rest of the system together in about 1 hour with the help of my father. My son and i have played on it every night sense we installed it, i really like the fact my son who is 9 yrs. old can lower and raise the backboard all by himself. I was a little leary of buying such a big purchase online but I have to say I was very pleased with the whole experience.

The system itself is very easy to set up and the istructions were very straightforward. We are happy with the fact that this system is very stable and solid. Overall I am very pleased with this basketball system.

I purchased this basketball system for my three children to practice and enjoy. I am very happy with the robustness of the design and the operation of the height adjustment mechanism given my engineering background. Components fit together well, no issues. The concrete pour and anchor system went well. I did add a rebar cage 16"X16"X44" in the concrete pier. A single person can assemble most of it themself except for the backboard to the pole assembly. That will require 3 adults. The assemble as new is nice and tight with very little slop/play in the joints. The Rust Armor (galvanized plating) sold me on Pro Hoops, it sets them apart from their competitors for longitivity. I would recommend a little grease in all the sleeves/tubes to ensure smooth motion and reduce wear. My only issues I had were that the plastic knob on the crank adjustment cylinder was cracked and the Rim Height Indicator was cracked in shipping. I'll be contacting Pro Hoops to get them replaced. There were a couple small scratches on the Spring Assist Cartridge I touched up with paint. Placement of cardboard around this component would have prevented that. I would have like to seen welded caps on all the structural members verses plastic plugs for watertightness, still better than most competitors. The pole does have a hole in the bottom plate to allow water/condensation to exit, this is a good thing. I did not realize this product was made in China, I have too say they did a great job on manufacturing it. Overall, I would recommend this as a basketball goal system for anyone wanting a durable long lasting system.

Product goes together pretty easy. Just make sure you have some help. Found the best way to put the backboard on was to put the backboard in the bed of a truck and back up to the lowered support structure. Backboard is solid- nice rebound. Shakes a little-bounces a bit when trying to lower. Improvements could be made to the up/down adjustment. Glad I purchased..whole family likes to play in the evenings and past dark!

Our family put this Silver system in for fun and practice. We have three children (4, 8, and 10). With the wide range of ages, the adjust-ability from 5 to 10 feet is incredible. The crank system is easy enough for the 4 year old to operate. In the first week I think the net went from 5 to 10 feet about 100 times. The kids really enjoy the system and it really helps the younger kids with their shooting form by having an appropriately sized net height. The system has a very very slight shake after a ball hits it, but I expected a little shake from any system. It is not really anything to worry about and in general I consider the system to be rock solid. On the installation, it went smoothly and the customer service dept. helped me with some of my installation questions. Digging the hole took a couple of hours since I wanted to go 12 inches below the frost line here in Missouri. It probably didn't help that I tried to dig the hole on one of the hottest days of the summer. By the way, don't start to bell out your hole until you are below the frost line. The rebar should also vertically overlap the J-bolts. Since I had a deeper hole, I needed some 4ft. rebar (3ft. comes with the install kit). I put the rebar in a diamond pattern with respect to the J-bolts (square pattern). It took about 30 minutes to build the form for the top of the hole. I notched some grooves in the top of the form to lay string. The string helped with lining up the plate in the center of the pad while also staying parallel to the playing area. I leveled the form which took about another 15 minutes. My hole took 17 bags of 80 lb Quickrete (regular 4000 variety). I added some colorant to the top two bags worth. The colorant helped the pad blend in with the yard a lot better. I got all my concrete from Home Depot here. What was nice is that they had free rental of a cement mixer (holds 2 bags) with the purchase of at least 10 bags of crete. I highly recommend using a cement mixer and would use nothing else for a job of this size. Pouring the concrete took about an hour with another half hour to clean up. I covered the pad for 5 days with a plastic cover and placed a soaker hose under the cover. I had an automatic water timer that kept the pad wet for the entire 5 days (in 95 deg heat). I removed the wood forms on the 2nd day. The forms were attached with screws, so my impact driver (short barrel) came in handy to unscrew the forms. I did have to dig away to get to the screws. This seemed easier and cheaper than buying a whole box of the special nails with two heads. The next weekend I put up the system. System assembly took about 1.5 hours and needed 3 people (2 strong and 1 not-so-strong). I used a torque wrench for the bottom plate mounting nuts to make sure they were very tight (these are the nuts that hold the pole to the pad). To put on the backboard I used two ladders with a long 2X6 between them as a shelf. Two of us lifted the backboard onto the shelf. The third person lowered the mount (using the crank) down and slid the bolts in. Assembly is a breeze with this system. I am also pleased with the upgraded hardware for the weather (rust) protection. I have a lot of neighbors with rusting systems and I'm sure this hardware will last. I recommend this system to anyone and couldn't be happier. If you need a great system with a great price, look no further. I'm glad I found FleXtreme Hoops on the web.

Very happy with the overall quality and materials. Does seem to bounce a bit at lower heights. It is easy to raise and lower, but takes forever to crank. Glass backboard is solid, and has a great feel when shooting. When ordering it took much longer than expected to receive the hoop. Had to call to get updated ETA several times. Would have been much better customer service, if they would have been proactive, and communicated delays as soon as they had them. Customer perception is a significant part of the overall experience, and I would have been much less frustrated had communication been better. Again, worth the wait, and the hoop is great!

My son (10) and boys in the neighborhood use for small games. We also use for just shooting around. My son will use more for practice in the fall. It moves more than I expected (up/down) when dunking. I thought it would be more stationary. I also don't like that I have had to put plastic over it to keep the rain out. I requested this replacement part two weeks ago on two separate occassions, and now again today with an email.

This goal was the perfect choice for my 4 year-old's birthday present. I'm sure that he would have lost interest in a goal that only adjusted down to 7'-6" (all the others), but he loves this one. At a very low height, he can build confidence and use the correct technique instead of just heaving the ball.

We have found this backboard to be the best one on the market for our family. The height adjustment is great for young children (6 and 4) and can be raised easily when I want to play with some friends. I know this hoop will be a magnet for our boys' friends as they grow. The customer service and shipping were great. Set up was simple, digging the hole for the concrete was the hardest part. Thanks for selling a solid product at a fair price. I thank my wife frequently for finding your webpage. I said we would never find a backboard that goes down to 5' that was better than the ones on sale at the local sporting goods store, while remaining in our budget. My wife was right, like always.

This is a well constructed system. I work in the construction industry and the material use with this system is the same material used for stuctual steel in comercial buildings that I build. The only problem I have with the system is that when you let it down, it bounces. It seams that it needs another spring to assist on taking some of the weight off when it comes down. That the only issue I have with that. Lets face it, nothings perfect. I would recommend this to anyone!

One great thing is being able to adjust down to 5'...You can clean the backboard without a ladder or have you 6 year old son dunk on it...very cool. The whole system is very strong...I am 6'3" and 250lbs and I crank dunks on this thing over and over. The only thing that I am not completely impressed with is the height guide. Not sure how it will last and then I will have to rig something up.
MANUFACTURER RESPONSE:
The height indicator is made of a high-quality, weather resistant, high-impact plastic to endure harsh weather conditions without becoming brittle. Also, because it is plastic and not metal, the risk of corrosion at the pivot point is eliminated. Lastly, the plastic height indicator has the added benefit of being clear which allows you to see the rim height markings beneath the indicator.

I was down in the back the week it arrived and had my neighbor and kids assemble. As fast as I could read the directions and point to the pieces, they were up and running. About 45 minutes to install and that included the net. My only comment is that I wish the crank were geared lower, so that less revolutions were required to raise/lower. Good product and would recommend to anyone in the market.

If I could take a picture of a normal day in our driveway that would be the best comment that I could provide. There are usually at least 5-8 kids playing at any given time from the neighborhood. I guess my biggest complaint would be that I can't find any time to play myself. Before filling out the review, I had asked my 5 yr old what he liked best about the new basketball hoop - his response - "I can dunk it!" The best thing about this product is that the kids can lower/raise the hoop whenever they want without the assistance from an adult. I can then just as easily raise it up to 10ft to play w/ my friends.

We love our FleXtreme Hoops system. We have a 5 year old budding NBA star who loves for us to crank down the rim so he can shoot. Daddy and his bros play pick up games. we have the best system in town. Sure does beat those goals that tip over with a brisk wind. Only complaint, the first backboard we had shattered because we didn't put the sleeves over the screws.We torked down and "CRACK!!" in a million pieces. We didn't make that mistake twice. It is a bit heavy and you will need 2 strong guys for assembly. Now we just need a night light to continue playing into the night.

I was shocked how easy compared to a competitor's that I struggled to put up just a few years a go. Love the low adjustment for my 4 year old, yet my 10 year old likes it high - they can adjust it themselves quite easily! Stable, looks good, and works well. Cons: Rim bracket difficult to attach to backboard - two bolts difficult; two easy. "Safety bar" to keep it above ~ 7 feet bent easily. I removed it as I have young ones that love it at low level!

I got this product for my 5, 9 and 10 year olds. I really like the fact that it can be adjusted from 5 to 10 feet very easily. The glass backboard is true in that it doesn't get scratched or marred. I installed this mostly by myself and the directions were fairly easy to follow. The only help I needed was connecting the backboard to the supports. It was great cause you could lower them causing no stress on the guys holding it while the bolts were put in place. I wish it was just a little more stable at the arm assembly because it does move slightly (quiver) on most rim shots. I think this could be remedied with a little wider supports.
