 Great Product!
By Local Buy
I actually purchased this on sale at a local sports store for $399.99. A couple things you will want to do to make your installation successful. First, when banging the bottom and top pull together use a sander and remove the powder coat form the bottom section of the pole that slides in to the top pole. Also, when you are setting the pole in the concrete, tighten the clamp as much as possible. If you slack on this portion and then tighten the clamp tighter once the concrete has set… You will have motion in the pull. Last, you will need aid mounting the backboard and the rim. Everything else is perhaps a one person job, nevertheless one extra person helping is very nice. This is just a very nice and sturdy hoop. One last thing… wait to put the sticker on for measuring the height until you have it up and may measure it to double check.

Putting the pole together for this is a nightmare. My husband had to call and have a substitute pole shipped because the introductory warped while he was attempting to pound the pieces together. Spaulding was outstanding when it comes to getting the alternate out right away – and the new one is up. But I would never commend buying a two piece one again – spend the cash on one that comes as a single unit. Also the crank scheme to raise and lower is very difficult. Our kids will never be strong enough.

Spalding 88454G Inground basketball system 54″ backboard
By mike
This was a outstanding buy for the price and it looks very good, much better than any roll around goal. The assemblage and installation takes when it comes to 2-3 days, (waiting for the concrete to cure) but it’s well worth it…..good, solid, nice looking goal for a decent price…
