Got the tempered glass version of this hoop today for $550 academy sports. I have an unopened 80lb bag of concrete in the base and water. Goal itself does not move much at all!! Very sturdy for the money! I think it’s the best portable hoop on the market for someone who’s on a budget looking for a quality hoop!

[@bakurawthesupersaiyanhair937]

7:45 mine is sitting in the garage with about 87% completion and I've been so eager to know what its like. Thanks for showing the highlights 👍 Just finished watching. Ahhh, I'm so excited 😅 very nice jumper, dude. Nice handles too!

[@4677estrella]

I was looking for a video on this hoop back in march/April lol but nothing. I compared it to the Goaliath gotek. I read reviews some said it took 6 hours plus and instructions where not clear. It took me 3 hours on my own and can honestly say this hoop is exactly what I wanted. Looks and feels like an NBA size hoop for a great price. My 10yr old son gets to adjust the height when ever he wants. I had to order this online surprise non of the big store names carry this product. Great video!

[@bestoutdoorbasketbal]

Glad to hear. I'm happy with it too, enjoy!

[@crazykuup9271]

Looks just like the $1,000 models!!!!!! I’m impressed for sure

[@JCWClips]

I've had it for about a year and a half, it performs like the $1,000+ ones too, even after excessive dunking.

[@JCWClips]

@tekkenmaster 123 I actually realized that my model is different, mine has a larger base. It was about $500 so I'm sure this one is about that price.

[@amckinley87]

Thanks for the review it actually helped a lot compared to others thx

[@nickdaniels8311]

Awesome! Glad it helped.

[@Bootrosgali]

I'm thinking that the No.1 function is to have a rim with snap back breakaway capability, plus cover. This above anything is what will make the thing last.

[@louismoreno8288]

Great video!

[@kholtzer]

Is 54” backboard large enough or would you recommend the 60”?

[@garrurus9084]

Just got an inground lifetime 60 inch hoop for 1.2k and its well worth my money, you will need an extra 800 bucks for concreting though

[@grahamkington9392]

Did you remove the film on the backboard or did you leave it on?

[@shivamgandhi5779]

I noticed that the basketball hoop didn't come with any padding that will attach to the bottom right and left sides of the backboard. Because the ball might pop if it hits the corner of the backboard

[@SarahGames]

Someone please help i have exact same one but when i adjust it up the backboard faces up and isn't straight. When its at like 7ft its perfect i want it 10 ft but its facing uo please anyone help?

[@terrymitchell4579]

I cant height adjust mines. What is the proper way to lift it and have it stay

[@fugaspapa2818]

I have been trying to get either the; hybrid, the beast or platinum/Gold. Being in UK, this has been unavailable for a long time, not sure because of the COVID-19. After searching for a longtime, I settled for the Tarnac B900. I went for it mainly because of its ease of putting up and lowering. I will really want someone to do a review for that although I have already ordered it. In the U.K., the beast and Hybrid cost practically the same. Every US price tag; multiply by 2!🤣

[@bu3151]

Seems like it wobbles back and 4th when ball rebounds...

[@zeuschowie7473]

Hey Nick Do you think The Goliath 54 inch Portable Hoop is a good hoop?? David In Boston

[@bestoutdoorbasketbal]

Yes, it is good. Has some unique design features like the backboard and frame that goes under the base. I'd consider getting the Silverback NXT though since it is basically the same hoop but the Silverback has slightly better quality overall.

[@big_budda]

That’s a nice hoop👌

[@riloh58]

I'm looking at the 54" and 60" version of this hoop. Any advice on pros/cons between the two? My concern is that a 60" will be less stable and is probably more than I need. Looking at your 54" it looks ideal for my use case. The odd thing is that currently the 60" is cheaper (by $30). I am asking myself if it's cheaper for a reason.

[@mphakanation]

Is the 60" 12feet or 11 feet

[@mphakanation]

Maybe the reason is that a lot of people can't dunk that high

[@kenkelly29]

Go Dawgs!

[@fernandoaustria6350]

I plan to buy this but have a few concerns and hoping to get your thoughts: 1. I'll put it in our backyard which gets some high winds at times (approx. 40mph) - will it be able to handle it? 2. I plan to use a Dr. Dish IC 3 (the one that hangs on the rim, not the machine) - is the base strong enough to not tip when I hang this? Also, what's your thoughts about the backboard? I went to a sporting goods and tried to throw basketballs on the hoops on display - the Goaliath (Silverback NXT equivalent) feels like a very cheap plastic. Does this feel the same? Thanks,

[@fernandoaustria6350]

BUMP

[@sammattress5570]

Is 54 inches big enough for the backboard?

[@axelsworld4042]

I am currently assembling mine. Did you have to drill a hole through the backboard to attach the bolt that holds the spring and rim? The manual is not specific at all on that section.

[@bestoutdoorbasketbal]

Oh man, yes that part is confusing. Actually, the bolt and spring hold the rim up. So as you tighten the spring it will raise the rim until it is upright. Hopefully that makes sense. You do not drill any holes.

[@paulsewell4799]

Does your rim move much once attached? We bought this system and it is properly mounted, but the rim/hoop sags forward a bit and then it has lots of play in it ( you can rock it up and down a few inches). I can solve this by tightening the spring bolt down more but then it is compressing the spring too much and you will no longer have breakaway potential.

[@HTXLemarc]

Mine does the same thing, that's why I'm looking for a new one. I had the 54' polycarbonate angled hoop. I would always tighten it and when the ball hits the rim, sometimes the break away will make the rim pop up and stay until I hit the rim again, same thing when dunking. It always looks like it's leaning forward when I play, but when it's in the breakaway up position, it doesn't anymore but when you go to the front of the rim (or diff angles) you can see the rim is pushed up

[@garrettboswell]

Mine does the same thing but I have a different sparks by goal

[@boosted_donkey]

paul sewell

[@gameplaygod9034]

I have a question, when you said you only have one shot to put the poles together, are you saying if you mess it up your screwed out of the hoop or can you explain that to me please

[@gameplaygod9034]

At 1:00, please explain what you meant

[@bestoutdoorbasketbal]

I mean there are slots in the poles where they are meant to attach. You just need to be careful that you line the poles up accurately or you may end up with a crooked hoop. You'll want two people for this step.

Hi Nick I like the Spaulding Portable Hoops..My son's are 10 and 9.. we are considering going with Spaulding or Lifetime..in your opinion do you think Spaulding would be a better choice? thanks Nick

[@bestoutdoorbasketbal]

David, All depends on which specific model you buy. Certainly, there are quality models made by both Lifetime and Spalding. Check out my article on the best portable basketball hoops on bestoutdoorbasketball.net. That will help you pick based on budget and features. bestoutdoorbasketball.net/best-portable-basketball-hoops/ Nick

[@zeuschowie7473]

[@albusgames4742]

Would you be able to upload some more videos of you playing some games on this? I'm having trouble picking between the 60 inch version of this and the silverback nxt what do you think is better?

[@bestoutdoorbasketbal]

I bought this over the NXT myself. While the features on the NXT are noteworthy. At the end of the day I feel you get more for your money with the Spalding Hybrid.

[@Golgo33]

Help! Help! Everything is great but my crank doesn’t work. I can’t raise the back board

[@cizaro1]

can the basket be moved by one person if only water or sand is filled or only if the container is empty?

[@jadams3927]

I would recommend help when moving the unit. The backboard is rather heavy and you have to rock it forward AND hold it/not drop it. Be safe!!!

[@robh9361]

Did u have problems getting the poles connected mines want go four inches in

[@nickdaniels8311]

Not sure I'm understanding. The poles are indented and the indentations should be lined up so that the pole is square. I recommend using a hammer or mallet for this step.

[@jonq8714]

I got a portable hoop and every time I swish a shot it bounces off the base and goes flying out of control down my yard... it's so frustrating. I get penalized for shooting better... Is that an issue with this hoop?

How similar is this to the Spalding beast 60 inch portable hoop? I haven't been able to find a proper review on that system. If this is similar then i might consider buying the beast. Great review btw.

[@bestoutdoorbasketbal]

The Beast is a better all around system. It has a larger tempered glass backboard, bigger fill base, and a higher quality support pole. Check out my full review of the beast here: bestoutdoorbasketball.net/spalding-the-beast-basketball-hoop-review/

[@speznaslordtachanka1064]

I have one question: Is this hoop durable for bad weather like snow and rain? Because I want to leave it outside all the time or do I have to store it if it‘s raining too much? I would appreciate a answer, thanks a lot!

[@elemental9974]

Yes I have this same hoop and leave it out on my driveway everyday. I also added two sandbags for extra durabilty which helps. I would put the hoop down if winds do get super bad though. Other than that, it will be durable enough to hold up against snow and rain easily.

[@speznaslordtachanka1064]

JProductions Oh ok thanks for the quick answer! And I‘ve another question: do I have to put the hoop indoors if wind gets to hard?

[@elemental9974]

If winds do get too bad to where you feel like it could damage the hoop, I would put it indoors to be safe.

Hybrid has better backboard than the Ploycarbonate.

[@trahill1]

Nick I'm looking into this hoop for my 12 yr old who plays and practices at a high level. Do you think the tempered glass is necessary or should I go acrylic? I worry the glass will be even more wobbly because it is heavier. Any advice greatly apptreciated!

[@nickdaniels8311]

This is Nick on a different account. I think acrylic will be fine. If you are handy you may do a better job with constructing the hoop which could limit some of the vibrations. Hope that helps!

Hey Aiden, good for you man saving up for you own hoop. You could probably hang on the goal depending on your weight, but I wouldn't recommend it since over time it would likely warp the rim and hoop. Spend the time working on your shooting and other skills that will make you a better hooper. Good luck!

I believe this is the same hoop that I own, at least it is made by the same company and looks identical. You can definitely dunk on it, its very sturdy. I have only hung on it for about a second, however, because I am afraid it might break, but it is ok if you hang for about a second. I weight about 145-150 pounds so for a heavier person they should probably not. Keep in mind this is not a goalrilla hoop, and it is not in ground, so it isn't meant for hanging, but you wont break it from hanging momentarily, as long as you're not too heavy.
