Great goal for the price.

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.

Enjoying the fact that all my children can enjoy playing because it is adjustable.

The uniform pole, included padding and upgrade for living near water makes this perfect. I don't worry about the kids safety. It brings all the neighborhood kids in my driveway, which is great.

Great for pick up games, or practice at home. Ball bounces are legit

My 4 year old can adjust it. This was everything that the website says.

I'm was really impressed with the quality and shipment.

Haven't seen anything out there of this quality and stability.

lowering it to 5' is awesome for my 3 yo. very easy to use (my 9 year can run it up and down easily)very durable and high end feel

Found this product oduring an online search. It compare favorably to those in local sporting good store and online. Price was reasonable, and the quality is excellent. After one month I couldn't be happier.

Love the new one?quality construction. easy to install. looking forward to years of play. I would definitely buy this product again. Be sure to view th... I use it for recreation, while boys from the high school team use it for practice.

Easy to setup and looks good in the driveway.

The FleXtreme Silver add a Excellent landscaping feature to my home. It's great for family rec. and drills for my kids. I find a lot of joy when we lower it and watch our smaller children dunk on it. I will on occasion lower it 5" and have a few flashes from the past myself....age (48)-LOL

Our family loves to play fun games of horse, knock-out, etc. together. Keeps of off the sofa watching TV

this hoop is for family fun, after the ba se is in place, gos up easy, looks great.

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.

Great product for my high school and middle school sons to practice on.

We have the FleXtreme Bronce System near to a lake inside our Residential. It was a good purchase because is economical but functional.

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!!

Great product! Extremely stable, and very easy to adjust so that both my 11-year-old son and 8-year-old daughter can play on it. Parents have a hard time resisting it, too!

These guys provide great phone service and help. A top notch experience. I would definitely recommend the Silver over the bronze b/c we love the bigger backboard!

There are several in-ground systems on the market. This one in my opinion is the best bang for the buck. It is sturdy and easy to setup. I research literally everything I purchase and looked for some time before deciding on FleXtreme Hoops. They offered more for your money and their desc riptions on the website are dead on accurate. Their customer service is top notch and very responsive. I would not hesitate to purchase from them again. Save yourself some time and stop researching and purchase their system, you will not be disappointed

I have two girls, ages 11 and 5. This system is great for both of them because of the ease at which it can be lowered and raised.

Installation instructions could be better Stop that is used to keep from lowering it too far cannot be used if you want to lower it to 5 feet Poor way to mark the height of the rim (height adjustment) great customer support

Love the hoop! Easy for anyone of any age to adjust. All of my kids love it!

Great goal. We love the fact that it lowers to 5 feet. This allows our 3 year old to make shots and play with the bigs kids. The padding on the pole and the basketball goal itself is very nice as well.

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!

Our whole family uses the hoop/ My 7-year-old son especially loves it - I'ave seen his shooting improve after the first few weeks.

We spent a lot of time looking at different systems and found this one online. We were a little worried buying it online but very pleased when it came. Our kids are 4 and 6 and have no trouble raising the system up and down. The system is very stable and doesn't bounce when making shots. We would buy again.

As a family of 5 we have had so much fun with this! Our 3 young boys LOVE that it can be lowered enough that they can dunk. We spent endless hours researching basketball systems and couldn't be happier with our final decision. This hoop will be with our family for many years to come!! Thanks for making such a quality system.

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.

My family and I are looking forward to using our basketball hoop for many years to come. My wife and I both enjoy playing basketball (and are quite competitive). We have a 4 year old son who is quite the little pla yer already and will improve that much more now that we've got our own hoop that can be lowered to his height. We also have a 2 year old son who is already asking to play! 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.

My kids love this hoop. Even the five year old can adjust the height. The construction is solid, and we plan to enjoy it for years to come.

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.

need three people to install the back board. Very heavy but that is a good thing.

It a great product and great for the whole family

Younger pla yers can easily adjust the goal height in less than a minute. I have two Pro-Dunk Silver Goal sets and they are the perfect setup for our home sports court.

Easy for kids to adjust.

The FleXtreme Basketball systems will go down to 5 feet which no other system seems to be able to do, this is great for young kids 5+

Very good quality, pretty easy to set up but poor directions. Had good phone support thought. Thanks

This is a great hoop for my kids to use as they grow and become more competitive. I find it perfect for my own needs as well. Although the set up, particularly the hole and concrete, was difficult, the results are worth it.

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!

So far the system seems to be very good quality; I would recommend to a friend.

Great for our driveway. Tough.

The free ball bounce is so bad,we don't use it.The ball looks great,but is a bumber.

This product is perfect for a smaller driveway and for a smaller child learning to play basketball. It goes down low enough that our son is not frustrated to play at such a young age.

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.

My kids use it for practice and love to lower it for pick up games and dunk contests. Works out great for the adults after a BBQ for a little workout.

Currently using for kids recreational use only. Using primarily in the lowered position for younger children. Bounces excessive when down force is applied. Looks like there is excessive play in the spring tension adjustment.

Excellent system and easy to assemble.

It squeaks when we raise and lower it. I didn't expect as much vibration of the pole. But all and all -- assuming it weathers well -- it seems like it was a good purchase.

The Bronze system is perfect for our young family. It adjusts easily and everyone--from the five year olds to adults--loves it. I would purchase this system again in a heatbeat.

I love the Goal and would do it over and over. All my friends are impressed. The ball I received is flat and a replacement was never sent. This is the only possible negative I can speak of...............

very durable has great responce when ball hits board. great product all around thank you very much . we plan on playing on this unit for many years to come.

This system is perfect for both me and my kids. I can quickly and easily lower it down to 5 feet for them and back to 10 for myself. It is definitely built to last, and I expect many, many years out of this system. Thanks, FleXtreme.

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.

It's use is for family recreation. We do have a 14 year old that uses to practice free throws and to shoot around. He is not an intense competitor. Plays basketball for fun and to be part of the team.

I looked at a lot of systems that friends had and this one has the most bang for the buck. Pay the extra money for the rust proofing package. It will look great for years to come!

We purchased the system because of the lower heights this model provided. My 4 year old daughter enjoys this at 5 1/2 feet, while our son uses the 8ft level. The kids love it.

Great value - Easy to install.

Definatly need a few large men for the setup, but not to bad if you have the help. Great system that I would recommend to anyone.

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!

Great for High school pla yers and adults. Placed in driveway at home...Boys use it all the time for Fun and Practice!!! Very durable...easy to adjust!!! Very pleased...NO complaints!!!

Great quality basketball system. Set up was relatively simple and backboard/rim response is the best I have experienced with a home basketball set up. The only small con is that the height measurement system has room for some improvement.

Since the day we installed the hoop our kids have used the hoop. We no longer hear "I'm bored." We love how easy the hoop adjusts- our 6 year old twins do it themselves! Definately a good purchase.

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.

Thanks for the extra effort in making this a special gift for my son. He and his friends play on it every day until dark. I always know he's safe right here at home.

This systems surpassed my greatest expectations. The kids loves it!

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.

My kids ages 4-10 use this as part of our front (extended) driveway - neighbors are jealous and come over quite often. Pro's: VERY easy to set up. 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.
