Although pleased with product quality, one of the nuts that connect to the j hook bolts had bad threads and I had to special order. The padding that runs underneath the backboard was not shipped. At this point, (less than a month of usage) the product is performing well. My biggest complaint would be that the backboard does have some movement.

Son uses it to practice and to play against dad. Uses it when friends come over. Daughter now goes out for father-daughter time to shoot before dinner. She never played before we had this hoop in our yard.

My kids both play competitive basketball and needed the best goal possible,One that most closely resembles what they use at school.We found it! The quality is what stands out.I purchased the anti-rust package and have no doubt the goal will be around for decades.The customer service is great and the product itself is even better than anticipated. I would recommend professional help.Because of the heavy,strong post and glass.This could be dangerous,trying to get it done with a couple buddies.The 1/2 inch thick glass is awesome ,but extremely heavy.

The hoop itself is excellent. What was disappointing was the lack of customer support. I tried the online 'chat', as well as leaving two phone messages and heard nothing. Some form of reply was expected.

My son has his varsity team mates over to play on it often. They love the NBA backboard! It does not wobble or sway much at all with the six inch square post. It is used almost daily.

Incredible product. Workmanship is top notch. Looks great in a yard setting. Requires special equipment to install due to bulk and weight. If your yard is multi-level or doesn't have access for a scissor lift, expect some extra costs and delays for professional installation.

Rim-height adjustability sounded great to me... until I spoke with friends who have some of the mass-market branded units that feature that. I heard horror stories of cranks breaking, etc., and quickly came to realize that from about 4th grade through high school, kids are all shooting on 10' rims anyway! Why tempt them to lower it for finger-breaking "dunk sessions"? Not only did my Hercules Platinum unit cost less than my friends', but it's visibly better constructed (the regulation glass backboard is key!) too. Ordering and delivery were super easy, and while I didn't even bother trying to install it myself, I heard absolutely no complaints from the guys we had do it for us.

Good product but you will need some help or equipment to put it up. I installed everything in about 2.5 hrs with another guy and my front end loader. Also the screws that self tap into the backboard pads are difficult to put in. Backboard is to heavy to lift without machine, not just because of the weight but also the wind.

Great quality hoop that looks very good on the side of my driveway. Even though I am very handy, I had to hire someone to install this hoop. It is extremely heavy and needs some muscle and know how to set up properly. The basketball that came with the hoop is pretty good, but the pump is useless and went straight to the garbage. It would have been nice to get a better pump, seeing as this is not an inexpensive hoop.

We purchased this system for use at our manufacturing plant. I was seriously impressed with the quality of the materials used in the manufacture of this system as well as the warranty and guarantee that it came with. Once installed, you can tell this thing will last a very long time and is able to handle everything you throw at it!

We have absolutely no issues with this goal. Set-up was a bit tough as there was only two of us and some scaffolding for raising the backboard, but we managed. The goal is very pleasing to the eye and is of excellent quality. Delivery could not have gone more smoothly. My son spends more time outdoors now that we have the goal. He is getting great exercise and is improving all levels of his game. This goal is great for family fun and practice for league play.

My son is a great point guard. However, we were having a hard time converting layups and getting consistency of shots in the game time gym. It seemed to me that we were getting used to the bounce and flimsy play on our backyard above ground adjustable height backboard. The backboards in the gym were much livelier. Making the high school team was an important next step. I decided to try the Pro Dunk Platinum, his layups and overall game changed dramatically due to the replicated lively feel of the Pro Dunk. Next step, varsity.

Great System, I purchased a fixed one for my residential use and love it! I recommended this system to my friend and mayor of Chandlerville Il, and he bought 2 fixed systems for their city park! You will need to have it professionally installed. Very heavy duty system that will last at least 20 years+. Well worth the money!

I was looking for a system that was fixed height, could withstand the worst weather conditions (wind) and give a pro backboard and rim response during aggressive play. This is a system I won't have to worry about now that it's up.---- --and there's the rub. Using brute strength and 2 -4 guys to mount the backboard will only insure that something will get broken and it will probably be you. I have experience rigging and would not recommend the average homeowner attempting this. An adjustable height version OK, but mounting this much weight 10 feet in the air should only be done with lift equipment or perhaps by ancient Egyptians. Also, the assembly instructions are not very clear.
