Product Description

The only portable system of its size, The Beast Glass Portable Basketball Hoop gives you the stability of an in-ground, but with a wheeled base that makes it easy to move. The 60 inch glass backboard gives you the true rebound you'd find on the professional court. It has a sturdy steel rim that can handle fierce dunks and drives, and you can adjust the height of the rim to anywhere between 7.5 feet and the league-standard 10. This hoop gets its stability from a two-piece 5 inch square steel pole. It rests on a 55-gallon base equipped with 4 wheels, so you can move it down the driveway without having to tilt the whole system forward.

The Beast.. That is exactly what it is.1) Installation:Took about 3 hours to assemble with my father. Unless you're superman or don't mind taking a very long time to assemble, I suggest you have at least 1 other helping.The instruction manuals are pretty straightforward and very well organized with diagrams.As many reviewers mentioned regarding the difficulty of installation, I can confirm that some parts need tweaking.I expected attaching the poles to be difficult as many people have indicated earlier. The approach I took was to use an electrical saw to cut down the 4 corners of the inner pole (V shape cuts on corners) and hammer down the 4 sides. Then it fit perfectly. Not so tight that I couldn't join the poles, but not too loose where the poles slide in and out by itself. Then without even standing up the poles as many people do and drop the poles on the floor few times to get them fitted, I just had to hammer one end while the other end was held down by someone else.Another part of assembly with a mild degree of difficulty was attaching the 4 struts to the main pole from the base. They're supposed to join at the middle of the pole but the holes do not appear to line up correctly. With enough effort, they will line up, but need to use a lot of force.Now, the most delicate part of the assembly is attaching the adjustment levers to the glass backboard. While we rested the hoop sideways on a wooden platform to act as a sawhorse, it takes careful planning to make sure whatever you're using to support the weight of the hoop sideways, MAKE SURE that it will be sturdy support. The last thing you want happening is the support to fall out from under the pole and the end of the adjustment metal levers to come crashing down on the glass backboard. ALSO, do not take the styrofoams out of the edges of the glass backboard until it's securely fastened to the adjustment lever so the backboard doesn't touch the ground surface.2) Review on the hoopNow the fun part. This basketball hoop once completed, is a thing of beauty. I submitted a photo of it on the amazon product photo section. I was just staring at the hoop for a good 10 minutes at how beautiful and professional it looked. Definitely worth the price tag because you would pay more for less at stores like Dick's.When you actually shoot against the backboard, I was so surprised at how firm the backboard is. I thought at this price, there'd be some amount of shake but it almost feels like playing on a backboard at a college gym. The rebound off the backboard is so tight, it's tight.The rim has a real soft bounce, but can be easily adjusted according to your preference.This is a hoop I would expect to last a very long time and would buy this once over $200 hoop 5 times.I was driving by my neighborhood this morning and came across about 10 basketball hoops on driveways and streets, and I genuinely felt bad for all 10 hoops.
