Playing games with kids, and practicing very hard. I played at college level and dunking feels exactly the same as on a regulation gym court. The kids shoot everyday and we have gotten a lot of use out of it in just a month. The breakaway rim is solid, and general structure is solid. The bankboard does shake or move a little more when lowered below 7 foot when dunking, but overall great.

We live on a hill and receive high winds. The system is rock solid. Very impressive, doesn't sway or move at all. Easy to adjust, our 6 year old can raise and lower it. Customer service was excellent as well. Contacted about splitting the shipment so that we could receive the J-bolt and pier system early for the installer - had it within 24 hours.

Now I know why Pro Dunk Hoops has won "Hoop of the Year" for four years in a row. The day that the hoop was finally in place and ready to play with we had numerous boys stop by and play. I have two sons and one daughter. One of my boys is not athletic and does not care for sports at all, but he plays just as much as the other two kids. He loves how easy it is to raise and lower the hoop. I love how low you can lower the backboard because I don't need a ladder to clean off the glass. We purchased the light system add-on and my kids love that they can keep on playing well into the dark. One of the best investments I have made in a long time. I didn't buy it to make my neighbors jealous, but everyone I talk to says how much they wish they had one just like ours. I always refer them to Pro Dunk Hoops.

My family really enjoys the hoop system. I installed myself - concrete was the worst part. Hoop itself went up in less than an hour. It's especially windy where I live and when the wind is blowing 20-30 MPH the hoop doesn't even shake. My four year old can move it up and down by herself! My kids love to hang on the rim and the hoop doesn't seem to mind one bit. Overall very satisfied with construction and performance of the basketball system.

I purchased this for my 2 children ages 14 & 11 and since it has been set up there has not been a day that they have not been out using it. My son is shorter than my daughter and he loves to lower it to dunk. This is perfect for a large court or a small back yard.

I'm glad I researched the field and made the decision that I did because this goal is without a doubt the gold standard of at-home basketball hoops. My main concern was the ability to get a 2 and 5 year old some early basketball seasoning and the ease of raising and lowering this unit to accommodate them has been perfect. We can go from 5 to 10 feet with ease and the unit has been everything I could have asked for, not to mention the talk of my buddies who are now in the market to add one for their families as well.

Here's the long and short of it. Went with the Gold system, and am *VERY* happy I did. My 6 year old son loves to dunk and can adjust the height up and down with ease. This thing is solid as can be. It'll survive hurricane... not that we have them in California. But you get the point, and I'd buy it again. The neighbors are jealous. I installed it myself, although my concrete guy did the pillar when he was at my house doing other work. The system can easily be installed with only one other person. It only took about 30 minutes to get bolted up, and then another 30 or so to adjust to square, plumb, level, etc. Piece of cake, really. If you're doing the concrete yourself, that'd be time consuming to mix up in a wheel barrow. I obviously didn't deal with that. Two minor issues to note: 1. The backboard does bounce when adjusting the height downward. I've adjusted the tightness/looseness of the bolts over and over to get rid of it, but I'm not able to completely eliminate it. They're loose enough right now where the system does have some play when the ball hits the backboard on a normal shot. So I think it is probably too loose right now, yet the bouncing still persists. The next step is going to be to disassemble, coat every single bolt with grease, and reassemble. I had only inserted grease into the sleeves previously, and there must not be enough. I think this will take care of the problem. 2. There is significant play on dunks when you have the system lowered near the bottom end, say below 6.5 feet. This is normal, and it goes away completely by 8 feet or so.

A terrific system that gives a gym-like feel to outdoor basketball. Our Pro-Dunk hoop has allowed us to make instant friends with all the neighborhood kids. Minor complaints are bouncing of the system when lowering the height of the rim (even after loosening the bolts at the hinge points). Also, we just installed the system about 2 months ago and I have noticed some rust on the bolts (we live on the coast and we got the RustArmor package). However, overall this is a great basketball system and I would recommend it to anyone who is thinking about spending a few extra bucks for a quality goal.

Family use ages 7 to 70 ---because of the vast age differences we love the ease of adjusting the hoop. It looks great in our yard, almost like a scupture. We wouldn't change a thing about it. The best family purchase we have made.

We have 4 kids, varying in ages from 14 to 15 monthes. Our 14 year old likes to have dunking contests with his buddies, as well as some pretty competitive games at home. Then we can adjust it down so our 5 and 7 year old girls can shoot on it and have fun as well. Overall, a great goal for the whole family!

The only Drawback is the handle for raising and lowering it too long. These hoops crank very easily, so a shorter handle should come with it giving the buyer a choice of which to use.

Overall a good product. 2 major drawbacks are the adjustment mechanism is tedious. I have young kids who use it a 5 feet and older kids who use it at 10ft. It takes a lot of cranking to raise it from 5ft to 10ft. The second drawback is the 4 foot lever arm, it eats up the court. Make sure you have a big enough court to accommodate this hoop.

The post I received had the mounting flanges for the crank welded in the wrong location. I spent a lot of time convincing folks that there was a problem, then wating on the replacment parts to arrive. Other than that, I am very pleased with the heavy duty construction, apperance and solid backboard play. The goal has seen a lot of play time from my boys and their freinds in the neighborhood. If you guys would send me a free driveway stencil kit for my trouble, it would be much appreciated and I would totally forget my installation woes.

My family and friends enjoy the stability and strength that comes with this goal. We use it for pick-up games and just shooting around. We have big guys dunking and little dudes dunking all the time. Very stable, strong, and easy to use. Perfect if you don't want to worry about when the rim or pole will bend because it's a non issue with this goal!

We have loved our hoop. We use it for family and neighbors seem to gather to our pad as well. The hoop is the most solid and real responding backboard I have seen around. I'm surprised more people don't buy pro dunk systems.

Adjusting the height with ease is important. Smaller kids want to dunk and the easy adjust makes it possible without a hassle. Try and crank one of those brands in the stores. they have very poor designs. This product has the lowest height available. Padding looks and feels well made and not just some feature to help sell the product. Also, the recommended local installer from Pro Dunk did a perfect job.
