This is a great back board. My father manufactured ball boards when I was child. I am a bball board snob. This board is great!

My neighbor installed the Gorilla DC (GDC) with 72 inch backboard last year which is their top of the line hoop. We liked it alot but there were a couple things that pushed me towards the Pro Dunk (PD) instead of the Gorilla after using theirs. The three main things were the ability to raise and lower the hoop easier with the built in spring assist on the PD, the all encompasing warranty on the PD which GDC does not have and also the price was better as well on the PD. My 7 year old daughter can raise and lower my PD without help when it is hard for my 10 year old son to raise and lower the GDC. I also liked that I could upgrade to corrosion proof materials because I noticed the GDC was having some corrosin in places and we like in Chicago area with hard winters....so this is a must have if you want it to last a long time without issues. To be complete I also want to discuss the two things that I would like to be better. I do have some slight surface corrosion on the mechanism that raises and lowers the pipe that I will be keeping an eye on but so far it just looks like some surace corroisn, maybe due to the zinc coating not being complete on this part. Also, I did not like the accessory peice that is used to try and give the height of the hoop (which GDC does not have anything for though either), it just did not seem right the way that they wanted you to install this. Therefore, I just marked the mechanism that raises and lowers from 6.5 feet to 10 feet right on that peice and that is working well. Lastly, when the older people are dunking the GDC does seem sturdier with less backboard shake after dunking but the PD is also sturdy just not as much. But remember the PD is warrentied for dunking and the GDC is not. All in all, I am very happy in my purchase of the Pro Dunk 60 inch model and I was able to direct compare to the Gorilla DC 72 inch model.

My review of this product is extremely positive. It is well constructed and provides a very substantial shooting backboard and rim. My only issue came with the installation process. I retained one of the contractors provided on the Pro Hoops website for my geographic area. The contractor arrived, began digging, hit a gas line (notwithstanding that utilities had been marked). After thegas company responded and repaired the rupture, the contractor disappeared and never returned. I ultimately installed the system myself. It is not difficult, but attaching the backboard to the standard does require three peole because the backboard his quite heavy.

I bought this system after many hours of research on the internet and in sporting goods outlets. Pro Dunk Hoops makes the best system hands down. I cleared an overgrown area next to the house to put in a half court basketball court for my 9 and 11 yr old sons. After much deliberation I went with the 60" system and hired a local installer to new England to install. The hoop not only looks great, its performance is truly the best on the market. No rattling, true gym like bounces and great visual appeal. I would recommend this system to anyone without hesitation.

I bought the pro dunk gold basketball system for my son to practice after considering some other brands. The produnk system arrived at the end of my driveway a few days after I placed the order. It took me a couple of days to build the footing and about an hour and a half to install the hoop system with the help of my son. The installation was very easy. The system itself is designed and built very well. It is very solid and rigid. It looks very good. It is well worth the money. If you have any reservation regarding buying this system after reviewing the pro dunk web site, I suggest calling the company as they are very courteous and helpful.

Solidly built, well constructed. Almost too solid. Ball really flies off the rim unnaturally compared with most inside gym rims we play on.
MANUFACTURER RESPONSE:
In competitive gymnasiums the whole backboard and rim structure should not move unless a player comes in contact with it. At that point the rim should break-away to help reduce the likelihood of injury. In other words, for most play, the system should be as stable as possible and the rim should act like a static rim unless a player comes into contact with it.

Basketball is a hit in our 360 home deed restricted community. The kids are coming out of the woodwork! We did not know we had so many kids in our neighborhood. All ages use the equipment . Now the kids want the courts to have lights for night time play.

Since installation, we have used it continuously. I coached AAU basketball for 10 years and played competitively myself; the quality of the product is exactly what I wanted. High-quality goal from the mounting system to pole to backboard to the rim. I installed it myself with no challenges. I would highly recommend this product.

It would be great if you offered a tinted glass version. The best location in my driveway for the goal has horrible afternoon sun. No complaints!! It went up easy and my 7 year old can raise or lower it by himself.

High Quality product. I installed myself 6 months ago, has been solid ever since. It is so solid, I have had to develop a softer touch off the solid backboard (I was used to a portable unit that had a lot of give and flex). The solid rim is unforgiving for bad shots. Kids can lower and hang on the rim without worries about breaking or bending it.

This is a well built product, installation was very easy, my two sons ages 10 and 7 use it all the time. Wish it had some kind of lighting for it and a catch net to fit behind the hoop to catch the basketball.

My son just started playing on league teams and we wanted an easily adjustable goal for him (and Me). After a lot of research, we purchased the pro dunk and could not be more pleased with the looks, stability, rim response, etc... Just an awesome product all around. The customer service was excellent and their recommended installers were first class. They even installed the light I had bought at no extra charge. Would highly recommend this company to anyone and with the lifetime warranty I know it will last a looong time.

So solid feeling. Easy to adjust. Had a visitor who wanted to know where to get one - but the best part is that he was a former nba all star who wants one for his family. The adjustability from 5-10 feet is far superior and really makes it great for small children.

I purchased this goal for my kids for Christmas, and they have loved it. Every kid in the neighborhood is in my driveway playing basketball. I installed the goal myself. Installation was easy because this product is so well-engineered. I had a question and called the manufacturer. My phone call was actually answered by a human that was very knowledgeable and not only answered my question but gave me additional information that was very helpful. If you are going to buy a nice basketball goal, this product is the way to go. Much better quality for your money than what you find at big box stores.
