Overall a great product. Great set up tools on the website. The set was easier than I thought it would be. I was able to do it with a pickup truck bed and one helper. The rim is super stiff and I haven't been able to figure out how to adjust it (other than thousands of shots). It would be cool if you had some sort of lighting that extended on a boom above the backboard that lights up the lane and hoop for night ball.

Product is awesome for myself as well as our young kids. We use it for family fun and playing pick up games with friends and family. We love the quality and durability and are planning a way to keep the hoop lit at nights now that summer is nearing its end and its getting dark sooner. We love playing, just wish we could go from 10' to 5' a little quicker, but realize the crank and hydraulics are a great system!

I LOVE TO LET OFF STEAM WITH THE KIDS AFTER A GREAT DAY AT WORK. I have a six and a three year old. I am blown away that they can both raise and lower the hoop by themselves. I actually had a hard time raising and lowering some of the other brands that I looked into. Another HUGE plus is that the hoop lowers to 5 ft. The little guy can still get some playing time in and I get to save my back and shoulders BY NOT lifting him up 80 times a night. A lot of the other brands would only lower to 7 feet. I love the strength and how solid everything feels. I feel totally confident playing above the rim with this system(yes when it's lowered some) Come on i'm WHITE and getting old!!! Another favorite of mine is the loud "CLANK" sound that the rim makes when SOMEONE ELSE throws up a BRICK. the only thing that I didn't think was truly perfect with this system was the little plastic marker that lets you know how high the hoop is. My buddy who referred me to produnk lost his on a really windy day in Nebraska which can be pretty common. Mine seems to still be fine!!! Truthfully that is the only thing that wasn't completely great about the whole system. I also really thought the videos online of the installation process really helped a ton if you are doing it yourself.

Great hoop. Exceeded my expectations. Needed several people to lift the heavy backboard into place on set-up. Otherwise set-up was easy. Wish I could adjust the height it quicker, but I suppose you can't expect it to be much quicker and still be sturdy. Highly recommend.

Definitely not inexpensive but paying extra you get the quality and durability vs. all the cheaper hoops one sees in sad shape in driveways in one's neighborhood. Installing was very tough but doable. I needed my 65 yr old dad to help. We are both over 6', 200 lbs and still wasn't easy. Probably should have had a third guy. Biggest complaint is there isn't a marker for different heights so its guesswork.

This is a Pro size and style glass backboard and hoop that is heavy duty. My nine year old loves the easy adjustability (he can do it himself), and my 13 year old loves the overhang so he doesn't run into the pole - like our old system. The system encourages my children to play a sport they love more - and at home!

The installation was hard and some parts didn't want to play nice, especially the springs to raise/lower the hoop. After everything was installed and leveled, I noticed the stand was leaning slightly forward even tho everything else was leveled. Other than that it's a very good hoop.

Assembly was straight-forward. Even my 7 year old can adjust the height at will. This hoop is the center of attention in the neighborhood, from young to teen to parents.

The system is flexible for our church activities with adults, teens and elementary age kids. It looks great and has the kind of appearance which complements the fine features of our new building and landscaping.

Really high class setup, neighborhood is impressed and looks great. Kids are having a lot of fun playing, they can easily adjust the height; Instructions could be a bit more detailed, but contacted Pro Dunk directly via online chat, and got answers needed. With such a large hole to dig, and fill with concrete, it worked out way better to have concrete delivered instead of mixing 42 bags!

This will serve our family for years to come. I expect great things from all three of my boys. Using this hoop will perfectly match what is used in their games. I would also like to thank your staff for putting up with me and my 20 questions during my selection process. They were very helpful.

Product is outstanding. It does tak e some time to put it up just because of its size and quality. Make sure you have a strong friend or two when it's time to put up the backboard, its heavy!

The product is fantastic for any level player and the set-up was a breeze. You really only need one extra set of hands with the main pole installation and a couple extra sets of hands when installing the backboard. Everything else is very manageable by yourself. Directions are clear and easy to understand. The hardest part (for me) was digging the 4 ft deep hole in clay... I will definitely not leave this system if/when we ever move...

Former college basketball player that was looking for a system that duplicated the goal systems of major college arenas. Used the product each day since set up. Very stable from the support system to the backboard and rim. Attractive in the large driveway and fits to scale with the house. Should produce years of fun!!!

The Pro Dunk Platinum Basketball System is the best outdoor system period!!! I opted using a Pro Dunk recommended professional installer.(Strongly Recomend) The Idea for the purchase was for my kids to play and stay close to home, At times I have every kid in my town at my house using the Pro Dunk Platinum Basketball System. Safety for my kids is the greatest advantage owning the Pro Dunk Platinum Basketball System.

Was very easy to assemble and seems to be very sturdy. We have not had any problems with the hoop or construction whatsoever. At first all the parts seemed to be a bit overwhelming but after reading the instructions, we found that it went together really easy. We are out there almost every day now.

I researched alot of hoops before deciding on the pro dunk system. I chose the pro-dunk system based on price and quality and I can tell you that you will not go wrong with this system. Installation was a snap particulary with the online video - just make sure you have help to attach the backboard. It's nice when a product is everything they say it is. Structurally this thing is a beast and will withstand everything my teenagers can throw at it. The raise and lower mechanism is super easy to use. I ended up buying the hooplight max so the kids can play 24-7. If you are in the market and comparing products stop here this is the one to get. I live in Colorado and we have already had a couple snowfalls and freezes and the hoop has weathered the storm fine. Everything they say on their website is true. This is as sturdy a system as you will find. I am completely 100% satisfied with this product and would recommend it to anyone in the market for a in ground hoop.

All 4 of our children use our new Pro Dunk Platinum system to develop their games as well as host the neighborhood pickup games. The system is extremely sturdy, easy to adjust and looks great. Although the instructions are clear and easy to understand, I would highly recommend professional installation.

My twin 16 year old sons are serious basketball players. They hope to play college ball so my husband and I wanted to provide them with the best equipment possible. My husband researched extensively and found the Pro Dunk to be superior to all the other products on the market. We just purchased our second goal to complete the back yard "full court" and our sons could not be happier. They are practicing with the same backboard that is found at their school so the shots they practice at home are the same they use in a real game. This is the best investment we could make to assist our sons reach their goals . Thank you Pro Dunk.

The product is fantastic, we love it. We did not like the way it was delivered. Our house is set well off the street, but we have a semi-circular driveway (flat) that many trucks have used for deliveries. The delivery driver/company said they only deliver to the address and don't place it. The large, heavy box and long pallet were placed on the side of the road near my house. It was up to me to drag it though my yard in the rain in order to ensure it did not get damaged by the weather and traffic. The pallet had to be broken down and all boxed individually moved. The pole was "walked" through the yard and the backboard carried by me and my wife to a more secure location.

Overall very good product. Installed with wife's help and a couple of friends. Used a homemade 2x4 frame to lift backboard into position(see YouTube video for example). Digging the hole was the most time consuming of project. Goal bolts were defective, but replaced by Pro Dunk Hoops.

All the kids come here now to play on this rock solid basketball goal. I paid someone (about $300) to completely set it up, including the concrete dig/pour, which seemed like a good choice. It would take at least 3 men to lift the backboard.

Our previous court was on our driveway that had a significant slope and a portable goal. My son started playing competitive basketball and we realized that he needed a basketball court to help him improve to play at that level. We put a 25X36 court in our backyard and started looking for a goal online. After searching on line we selected the Pro Dunk Platinum. I was sold on the fact that the goal was covered for dunking and hanging on the rim. The goal has to be strong to have that kind of guarantee. I looked at all of the videos on the Pro Dunk Website and knew I had found the goal. The installation video was extremely helpful. We love the goal! The goal has made a huge difference in my sons game. The regulation backboard and the overall feel of the rim and glass is the best on the market.

At LaSalle Recreation District No 10, an outdoor multi-purpose basketball/volleyball court was constructed (cement, regulation court) and the Pro Dunk goals were installed. The community kids (all ages) are really enjoying this new addition to our facility. They can dunk the ball and never feel like it's going to come down. The goals are very sturdy. The volleyball equipment purchased has also been used and enjoyed. I would recommend your products to anyone.
