Really appreciated the quality and performance of the backboard. Utilized the phone number for specific questions when I was installing the product. Very helpful phone conversations. Well designed product both w/r to use & installation ** The one area I was slightly disappointed was that after paying the $100 dollars or so for the "Rust Armor" protection, the bolts and nuts for the attachement point at the concrete pad were either zinc or galvenized at best, I was expecting "stainless steel" as mentioned in the spec sheet online w/r to the fastener material. I understand that Galvanized is stronger than Stainless steel and that's probably why ProDunks uses this material at the concrete pad, however, I was expecting Stainless Steel. In the future, ProDunks should mention this up front w/r to the "Rust Armor" option and/or use larger diameter Stainless Steel hardware.
MANUFACTURER RESPONSE:
Ralph, you are right in that we use an extremely high-grade of steel with a zinc plating for the J-bolts. This is for strength. We try to make this clear in the technical specifications under "J-Bolt Material" where it states we use "Ultra-high carbon steel with zinc galvanization." We understand where the confusion came from though and we'll work to revise our copy to make this more clear when describing the Rust Armor package. Thanks for the feedback!

We use this product for both family recreatoin and at home practice. The hoop is very easy to lower and get the whole family involved, but is also excellent for serious practicing and competition play. The hoop feautres a well-constructed stand and incredibly sturdy backboard that gives you the feeling of playing in a regulation gym.

As long as you hire a good installer, this is an excellent product. Our installer used 17 bags of cement to anchor this super duty hoop and it is not going anywhere. Our 3 year old can lower it to 5 ft and make baskets on his own.

Printed assembly instructions were out of date with the product. Co. rep said they had talked about updating last year (poor management excuse). Said to watch the video...fine did that........but when you're on the job installing it, it is much easier to refer to a simple to follow diagram. The instructions had poor diagrams..........it would have been easier with a hand done sketch at various stages. The product is fine, but they could have easily provided better user friendly instructions for the $ 1,000 on my model.

I set aside the weekend to dig the required hole and allow time for the concrete to set. This by far was the worst part about the whole installation. (Alabama red clay can be extremely difficult to dig to the depth required for this goal.) The actual goal itself went up like a breeze. Me and my 10 year old son were able to complete the installation once the concrete and j-bolts had set in just under 2 hours. Now for my opinion on performance... Fantastic performance and extremely stable. Everyday since installing the goal, I come home to find a pick up game involving my son and the neighborhood kids. It's great seeing him get so much use out of this product (not to mention the excercise). Thanks guys, you have a fantastic product!

The purchase of the basketball goal set was made for our church youth program. We looked at many systems in the market place; however, I believe when comparing the cost verses quality factors, the Pro Dunk basketball goal system meets both needs. It's important that we spend our funds wisely. We didn't want to be in a position of replacing our system every couple of years due to usage. We expect the Pro Dunk basketball goal system will last for years. FYI, our people love it! Both young in age and young at heart!

Kids, ages 5 and 7, love the new hoop! They haven't stopped using it since it was installed. Easy enough to install....I am by no means a handyman or "do it yourself" type of guy but with a little work and use instructions it only took about 4 total hours to install. I'm glad I decided not to hire someone else to install it.

Great goal. Love it. Was not sure I wanted to spend the money for our first goal (6 year old son) but after talking to a few friends and shopping around we decided Santa should get this one. The guys were great in scheduling the installation while we were out of town over Christmas so that it would be ready when we returned. Lots of excitement when we pulled in the driveway. We love the goal and my 6 year old has no problem adjusting the height. Very sturdy, solid construction, real bounce off of rim and backboard,easy adjustments. I doubt you will find a better goal for the money. Great Goal.

The boys wanted an in-ground goal to replace the portable one they had used for a few years. I'm big on researching things on the Internet before purchasing them. I spent 2 weeks analyzing each and every goal on the market, and found this company online. Stop looking...I've done your homework for you. Purchase the goal from ProDunk. Setup was easy...but one point. DO NOT shortcut digging the size of the hole. It's the key to the whole process. Yes, you will be tired when finished, but you'll be glad in the long run. Bought 18 bags of cement, used 16 of them. Hardest part was lifting the backboard in place. Back up the truck and grab the wife and kids to help. The kids play more basketball now than they ever did with the portable goal. One final thing..ProDunk's warranty allows you to hang on the rim. No other manufacturer covers this. Wait until you tell your boys they can hang on the rim when their friends cannot do the same with their goal....Priceless! Stop the search and buy ProDunk!

My son and I use this product. The only issues I had were with the depth of the footing requested and the slow speed of adjustment. I have to lower the goal to 6 feet to accomodate my son and it takes some time. Other than that, we have really enjoyed this goal and get many compliments on it from neighbors. I've had more than a few neighbors sneek a shot or two just to try it.

After doing extensive research online for weeks , I'm glad i decided to go with pro dunk hoops. this is a professional quality hoop for a reasonable price. i purchased the silver model and this thing is extremely stable, no movement at all. this is a really amazing piece of equipment if you are looking for a sturdy and well built system. digging the hole and poring the concrete was the hardest part of the installation process which i did it myself, everything else was pretty simple as long as you have two other people helping you, it might just take you an hour or so to install. i would really like to thank pro dunk for this great product and I am an extremely satisfied customer !!! thank you

I live out in a rural area and we don't have much in the way of places to play a game. So I poured a regulation size pad in my back yard and installed the produnk silver system and my kids and the young men in my neighborhood have used it non stop since it was put up. The pole construction seems solid. The responsiveness off of the backboard is second to none. The breakaway rim is well made. I routinely have a group of 16-18 year olds playing dunk ball on the hoop and they love it. I have played my whole life on dozens of different setups and this is by far better than any Lifetime, Gorilla, Mammoth, or any other brand out there. I do wish I would have upgraded to the platinum, but couldn't afford the extra money. However the silver is better than most people need and will do just fine for us. It does shake a little when you get a good breakaway dunk, but still not a bad system. The height indicator is a bit Mickey Mouse. could use a better approach for that. Overall I am Happy with my purchase. The basket ball we received doesn't hold air so I would recommend getting one from the local sporting goods store. I also would recommend watching the video on how to install the system. It really helps.

Our Pro Dunk Silver is easy is to adjust for my 8 year old. The system is very stable and made with a high degree of quality and craftsmenship and my neighbors routinely comment on how nice our Pro Dunk looks. Only negative is the the instruction manual, seems a little difficult to follow. However, the online video is really helpful and I used it in conjunction with the instruction manual to install the system.

The shipping was perfect. The telephone support for setup was perfect. Please do call them and ask them if you have any questions (you will have doubts and questions), they are a enthusistic and helpful bunch. In fact, the install vedeo is invaluable, helps you plan ahead. It was a great experience to set it all up. I had two 60 year young guys help me dig a hole, pour concrete from a mixer truck. I waited ten days after pouring the concrete and installing the anchor and then the three of us set it all up. The back board is heavy, even the silver model wasn't all that light, so do allow enough planning when actually setting it up. And now that it all is setup, I love it I love it, I love it. My 6 year old son loves it more! He is making hoops at 10 ft height, so height adjustment is not an issue, but during the early excitement cum admiration phase, my son was going from 7 ft (I have the safety bar installed) to 10 ft a couple times, every time he was back from kindergarten.... Go for it, it's worth it. Just plan ahead and have patience when setting it up! And, do read the instructions!

Okay my kids will never play competitive basketball. We use it to play after school and when friends stop by. The best part is that the kids can adjust the height without me. In fact they spend more adjusting the height then actually playing.

We were looking for a product that we would not need to replace in 2-5 years. Something that would hold up to the Southwest Kansas winds and weather. The Pro-Dunk Silver Basketball System has exceeded our expectations! It was easy to install!! The instructions on how to assemble the product could not be easier. My family and I are out there every night not only for exercise and skill improvements, but also building lifetime memories one on one with our children. I have recommended this product a 100 times since installing it. Thank you so much for creating such a quality product! Customer for life!!

My kids love the new Pro Dunks Silver. Some of the written directions are unclear, but watching the install video helps in this area. There are so few parts to the install it really is easy to figure out. Figure on a coupe hours to dig the hole and another 2-3 hours to mix all the concrete. I did the hole one evening and the concrete the next evening. I did all the install myself except for bolting on the backboard. You need an extra person to lift the backboard and someone else to push the bolts through. Backboard itself took two minutes to install. Supports took about 10 minutes. Once the concrete is done, you're home free. The backboard is not hard to raise or lower, but it does take a quite a few cranks to get from 5 feet to 10 feet. If it is too hard, the bolts are likely too tight. The backboard (54") does seem a bit on the small side when we have it at 10 feet but it performs great. My kids have friends over playing basketball every day. They love to dunk and hang on the rim. We get compliments and people driving by all the time checking out the new Pro Dunk!
