It offers a three-piece, 3.5-inch diameter silver pole and the Pro Glide lift system for easy height adjustment from 7.5 to 10 feet in 6-inch increments. It's matched with a 48-inch steel-framed poly-carbonate backboard, 5/8-inch solid steel Slam Jam breakaway rim, and an all-weather net. &lt;p&gt;Portable basketball systems depend on a base filled with sand or water for stability. Although it will take up more space than an in-ground system, the portable base rolls on wheels, allowing players to position the basketball system in the desired location (and also allowing storage in a garage). Simply assemble, fill the base and play today. There is no fussing with concrete.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Manufacturer's Warranty&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 5-year limited warranty&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="10" width="800"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;img align="top" border="0" height="359" src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/stores/sport-goods/spalding-72354-detail-1.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;37 gallon base fills with water or sand for stability.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;img align="top" border="0" height="359" src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/stores/sport-goods/spalding-72354-detail-2.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;48-inch Acrylic backboard and Slam Jam breakaway rim.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Spalding&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a Division of Russell Corporation, the Spalding Group consists of three business units: Spalding in Springfield, MA; American Athletic, Inc. (AAI) in Jefferson, IA; and Huffy Sports, in Sussex, WI. The three companies, collectively combined, are now the largest basketball equipment supplier in the world. Spalding is the official basketball supplier of the National Basketball Association (NBA) and Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA), the official backboard of the NBA and NCAA, the official volleyball of the King of the Beach Volleyball Tour and the official football of the Arena Football League (AFL) and Pop Warner.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc6600;"&gt;&lt;big&gt;Amazon.com Basketball System Buying Guide&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; With the high-quality construction of many portable basketball systems, turning your driveway into a basketball court can be as simple as hooking up your garden hose. But while a portable system may ultimately be your best choice, there are reasons you may want to consider an in-ground or wall-mount system before you decide.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc6600;"&gt;In-Ground Systems&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; In-ground systems are permanently cemented into the ground--either via a bolt mounting kit or directly into the ground--and are generally more rigid and take up less space than portables. In-ground systems often require that you hire a professional to complete the task, but when the cement dries you'll have a hoop that can take punishing dunks with ease.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many in-ground systems are height-adjustable, include removable post features that let you take the system down for off-season storage, and feature heavy-duty break-away rims. You'll also want to research the adjustable mechanisms on the systems, as there are several types to choose from. Some feature a counter-balance spring that lets you perform easy, one-hand adjustments while others may feature a sturdy, pneumatic system.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc6600;"&gt;Wall-Mount Systems&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Wall-mount systems can be mounted to the side of a house, a tall retaining wall, or a garage. Generally sturdier than portables, wall-mounts have the added advantage of optimizing your existing ground space for the court, since you won't take any space up with the base or pole. Not all systems include the necessary hardware, so make certain you add a mounting kit to your list.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc6600;"&gt;Portable Systems&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Portable systems require minimal installation and offer ultimate convenience. These systems generally feature a base that can be filled with sand or water to stabilize them and include wheels for portability. Although they are not as sturdy as in-ground or wall-mounted hoops, portables are simple to set up and can often be folded for convenient storage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc6600;"&gt;Backboard Considerations&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Regardless of which system you choose, you'll want to brush up on Backboards 101. Most residential systems feature backboards made of acrylic, fiberglass, graphite, or various other composite materials. While clear acrylic gives the professional look and feel of glass, it is not as rigid as fiberglass or graphite. Some systems may offer steel or aluminum backboards, which are virtually vandal resistant, but don't offer the true rebounding action.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The regulation size of an NBA backboard is 72 inches wide and 42 inches high. Most portable hoops are 42 or 44 inches wide and 36 inches tall. In-ground systems tend to be a bit larger, with 54-inch and 60-inch widths being the most popular. While rectangular shaped backboards provide more bank shot opportunities, they are generally more expensive than the streamlined fan-shaped board.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;p align='center'&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.amazon.com/Spalding-72354-Portable-Basketball-System/dp/B000H3AC7Q?tag=digcamsho4-20' target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;Free Shipping Spalding 72354 Portable Basketball System - 48" Polycarbonate Backboard @ Amazon.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7742486431681559846-5425918732552959084?l=basketballgoals.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://basketballgoals.blogspot.com/feeds/5425918732552959084/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://basketballgoals.blogspot.com/2012/01/spalding-72354-portable-basketball.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7742486431681559846/posts/default/5425918732552959084'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7742486431681559846/posts/default/5425918732552959084'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://basketballgoals.blogspot.com/2012/01/spalding-72354-portable-basketball.html' title='Spalding 72354 Portable Basketball System - 48&amp;quot; Polycarbonate Backboard'/><author><name>Admin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00557012945644063508</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7742486431681559846.post-1788467286477066766</id><published>2012-01-17T20:16:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-17T20:16:06.208-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Basketball'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Backboard'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Portable'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Spalding'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Acrylic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='System'/><title type='text'>Spalding 66355 Portable Basketball System - 50" Acrylic Backboard</title><content type='html'>&lt;h1&gt;Spalding 66355 Portable Basketball System - 50" Acrylic Backboard Review&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Spalding 66355 features a 50" steel framed acrylic backboard with authentic style board pads.

The system starts with a 50-inch acrylic backboard with a heavy-duty steel frame. The board offers the same look and feel as pro-style glass backboards, helping you shoot layups and bank shots with confidence. The Pro Slam breakaway rim, meanwhile, holds up well against the force of emphatic dunks--a must for modern hoops. And hops-challenged players will love the hoop's ExactaHeight lift system, which lets you adjust the height from 7.5 to 10 feet in 6-inch increments. Other features include a two-wheel, 34-gallon base that fills with sand or water for maximum stability and safety; a front cover that acts as a built-in rebounder during play; and a three-piece, 3.5-inch-diameter round pole.  &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;About Spalding&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; Founded in 1876 by Hall of Fame pitcher Albert G.

The system starts with a 50-inch polycarbonate backboard with a heavy-duty steel frame. The board offers the same action as glass backboards, helping you shoot layups and bank shots with confidence. The Pro Slam rim, meanwhile, holds up well against the force of emphatic dunks--a must for modern hoops. And hops-challenged players will love the hoop's ExactaHeight lift system, which lets you adjust the height from 7.5 to 10 feet in 6-inch increments. Other features include a two-wheel, 34-gallon base that fills with sand or water for maximum stability and safety; a front cover that acts as a rebounder during play; and a three-piece, 3.5-inch round pole set at a 20-degree angle from the base.  &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;About Spalding&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; Founded in 1876 by Hall of Fame pitcher Albert G. Spalding, Spalding is one of the oldest and best-known sporting goods brands in the world, and is a leading producer and marketer of basketballs, volleyballs, footballs, softballs (Dudley brand), and soccer balls. Spalding is the official game ball provider of the National Basketball Association, the Major Indoor Soccer League, and more than 200 college and university programs.

But while a portable system may ultimately be your best choice, there are reasons you may want to consider an in-ground or wall-mount system before you decide.&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color=CC6600&gt;In-Ground Systems&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; In-ground systems are permanently cemented into the ground--either via a bolt mounting kit or directly into the ground--and are generally more rigid and take up less space than portables. In-ground systems often require that you hire a professional to complete the task, but when the cement dries you'll have a hoop that can take punishing dunks with ease.&lt;p&gt;  Many in-ground systems are height-adjustable, include removable post features that let you take the system down for off-season storage, and feature heavy-duty break-away rims. You'll also want to research the adjustable mechanisms on the systems, as there are several types to choose from. Some feature a counter-balance spring that lets you perform easy, one-hand adjustments while others may feature a sturdy, pneumatic system.&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color=CC6600&gt;Wall-Mount Systems&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; Wall-mount systems can be mounted to the side of a house, a tall retaining wall, or a garage. Generally sturdier than portables, wall-mounts have the added advantage of optimizing your existing ground space for the court, since you won't take any space up with the base or pole. Not all systems include the necessary hardware, so make certain you add a mounting kit to your list.&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color=CC6600&gt;Portable Systems&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; Portable systems require minimal installation and offer ultimate convenience. These systems generally feature a base that can be filled with sand or water to stabilize them and include wheels for portability. Although they are not as sturdy as in-ground or wall-mounted hoops, portables are simple to set up and can often be folded for convenient storage.&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color=CC6600&gt;Backboard Considerations&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; Regardless of which system you choose, you'll want to brush up on Backboards 101. Most residential systems feature backboards made of acrylic, fiberglass, graphite, or various other composite materials. While clear acrylic gives the professional look and feel of glass, it is not as rigid as fiberglass or graphite. Some systems may offer steel or aluminum backboards, which are virtually vandal resistant, but don't offer the true rebounding action.&lt;p&gt;  The regulation size of an NBA backboard is 72 inches wide and 42 inches high. Most portable hoops are 42 or 44 inches wide and 36 inches tall. In-ground systems tend to be a bit larger, with 54-inch and 60-inch widths being the most popular. While rectangular shaped backboards provide more bank shot opportunities, they are generally more expensive than the streamlined fan-shaped board. &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;p align='center'&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.amazon.com/Spalding-79354-Backboard-Combo-Polycarbonate/dp/B000H3BCVG?tag=digcamsho4-20' target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;Free Shipping Spalding 79354 Backboard/Rim Combo - 48" Polycarbonate Backboard @ Amazon.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7742486431681559846-105003341425519894?l=basketballgoals.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://basketballgoals.blogspot.com/feeds/105003341425519894/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://basketballgoals.blogspot.com/2012/01/spalding-79354-backboardrim-combo-48.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7742486431681559846/posts/default/105003341425519894'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7742486431681559846/posts/default/105003341425519894'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://basketballgoals.blogspot.com/2012/01/spalding-79354-backboardrim-combo-48.html' title='Spalding 79354 Backboard/Rim Combo - 48&amp;quot; Polycarbonate Backboard'/><author><name>Admin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00557012945644063508</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7742486431681559846.post-4520274464535304226</id><published>2011-12-30T22:37:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-30T22:37:20.282-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Basketball'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Goalrilla'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Norman'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Washer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rockwell'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Window'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='System'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Giclee'/><title type='text'>Goalrilla GLR GS 54 Basketball System</title><content type='html'>&lt;h1&gt;Goalrilla GLR GS 54 Basketball System Review&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Players insist on Goalrilla because it's still made according to the belief that they deserve the best performing system we can make.

The board offers the same action as glass backboards, helping you shoot layups and bank shots with confidence. &lt;p&gt;The Pro &lt;span id="caseCorrespondence_18815599915_text"&gt;Slam &lt;/span&gt;breakaway basketball rim, meanwhile, holds up well against the force of emphatic slams--a must for modern hoops. Other features include a white all-weather net, a 2-7/8-by-2-1/2-inch rim hole pattern, and a total weight of 40 pounds. The board is compatible with the following mounting brackets (sold separately): the Spalding 920312 extension arm and bracket for 4-inch square basketball poles or the Spalding 316 U-Turn adjustable extension arm and bracket for square basketball poles.

But while a portable system may ultimately be your best choice, there are reasons you may want to consider an in-ground or wall-mount system before you decide.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc6600;"&gt;In-Ground Systems&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; In-ground systems are permanently cemented into the ground--either via a bolt mounting kit or directly into the ground--and are generally more rigid and take up less space than portables. In-ground systems often require that you hire a professional to complete the task, but when the cement dries you'll have a hoop that can take punishing dunks with ease.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many in-ground systems are height-adjustable, include removable post features that let you take the system down for off-season storage, and feature heavy-duty break-away rims. You'll also want to research the adjustable mechanisms on the systems, as there are several types to choose from. Some feature a counter-balance spring that lets you perform easy, one-hand adjustments while others may feature a sturdy, pneumatic system.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc6600;"&gt;Wall-Mount Systems&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Wall-mount systems can be mounted to the side of a house, a tall retaining wall, or a garage. Generally sturdier than portables, wall-mounts have the added advantage of optimizing your existing ground space for the court, since you won't take any space up with the base or pole. Not all systems include the necessary hardware, so make certain you add a mounting kit to your list.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc6600;"&gt;Portable Systems&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Portable systems require minimal installation and offer ultimate convenience. These systems generally feature a base that can be filled with sand or water to stabilize them and include wheels for portability. Although they are not as sturdy as in-ground or wall-mounted hoops, portables are simple to set up and can often be folded for convenient storage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc6600;"&gt;Backboard Considerations&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Regardless of which system you choose, you'll want to brush up on Backboards 101. Most residential systems feature backboards made of acrylic, fiberglass, graphite, or various other composite materials. While clear acrylic gives the professional look and feel of glass, it is not as rigid as fiberglass or graphite.

The backboard frame is built with the highest quality steel and features a black hammertone powder coating that is rust and scratch resistant.  The Arena-Style Slam-it Pro Rim features wraparound bracing supporting a 5/8" ring of solid steel, double compression springs to provide spring-back action, welded steel net hooks and an all-weather nylon net.

The square Shatter Guard backboard--which integrates a clear playing surface with a high-quality steel frame--is made of Makrolon polycarbonate, which is virtually unbreakable and 30 times stronger than acrylic. As a result, broken backboards are a thing of the past, even from errant rocks and other non-basketball threats. The arena-style orange Slam-It Pro Rim, meanwhile, is designed specifically for players who like to throw down. The rim features wraparound bracing and double-compression springs that give way during dunks to protect the player, then spring back once released. Other details include fade-resistant UV-protected graphics; a powder-coated black-hammertone-finished steel backboard frame that adds rigidity for improved rebound; a blow-molded plastic frame pad for protection; and an all-weather nylon net. The set comes with a five-year warranty. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color=CC6600&gt;&lt;BIG&gt;Amazon.com Basketball System Buying Guide&lt;/BIG&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; With the high-quality construction of many portable basketball systems, turning your driveway into a basketball court can be as simple as hooking up your garden hose. But while a portable system may ultimately be your best choice, there are reasons you may want to consider an in-ground or wall-mount system before you decide.&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color=CC6600&gt;In-Ground Systems&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; In-ground systems are permanently cemented into the ground--either via a bolt mounting kit or directly into the ground--and are generally more rigid and take up less space than portables. In-ground systems often require that you hire a professional to complete the task, but when the cement dries you'll have a hoop that can take punishing dunks with ease.&lt;p&gt;  Many in-ground systems are height-adjustable, include removable post features that let you take the system down for off-season storage, and feature heavy-duty break-away rims. You'll also want to research the adjustable mechanisms on the systems, as there are several types to choose from. Some feature a counter-balance spring that lets you perform easy, one-hand adjustments while others may feature a sturdy, pneumatic system.&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color=CC6600&gt;Wall-Mount Systems&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; Wall-mount systems can be mounted to the side of a house, a tall retaining wall, or a garage. Generally sturdier than portables, wall-mounts have the added advantage of optimizing your existing ground space for the court, since you won't take any space up with the base or pole. Not all systems include the necessary hardware, so make certain you add a mounting kit to your list.&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color=CC6600&gt;Portable Systems&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; Portable systems require minimal installation and offer ultimate convenience. These systems generally feature a base that can be filled with sand or water to stabilize them and include wheels for portability. Although they are not as sturdy as in-ground or wall-mounted hoops, portables are simple to set up and can often be folded for convenient storage.&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color=CC6600&gt;Backboard Considerations&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; Regardless of which system you choose, you'll want to brush up on Backboards 101. Most residential systems feature backboards made of acrylic, fiberglass, graphite, or various other composite materials. While clear acrylic gives the professional look and feel of glass, it is not as rigid as fiberglass or graphite. Some systems may offer steel or aluminum backboards, which are virtually vandal resistant, but don't offer the true rebounding action.&lt;p&gt;  The regulation size of an NBA backboard is 72 inches wide and 42 inches high. Most portable hoops are 42 or 44 inches wide and 36 inches tall. In-ground systems tend to be a bit larger, with 54-inch and 60-inch widths being the most popular. While rectangular shaped backboards provide more bank shot opportunities, they are generally more expensive than the streamlined fan-shaped board. &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;p align='center'&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.amazon.com/Lifetime-71526-Competition-Basketball-Backboard/dp/B0013IUOFE?tag=digcamsho4-20' target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;Free Shipping Lifetime 71526 Competition Square Shatter Guard Basketball 54-Inch Backboard and Slam-It Pro Rim @ Amazon.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7742486431681559846-6812369634651412286?l=basketballgoals.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://basketballgoals.blogspot.com/feeds/6812369634651412286/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://basketballgoals.blogspot.com/2011/12/lifetime-71526-competition-square.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7742486431681559846/posts/default/6812369634651412286'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7742486431681559846/posts/default/6812369634651412286'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://basketballgoals.blogspot.com/2011/12/lifetime-71526-competition-square.html' title='Lifetime 71526 Competition Square Shatter Guard Basketball 54-Inch Backboard and Slam-It Pro Rim'/><author><name>Admin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00557012945644063508</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7742486431681559846.post-809506850100555087</id><published>2011-12-14T23:58:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-14T23:58:18.284-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Basketball'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Little'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='TotSports'/><title type='text'>Little Tikes TotSports Easy Score Basketball - Girls</title><content type='html'>&lt;h1&gt;Little Tikes TotSports Easy Score Basketball - Girls Review&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Easyscore Basketball Set Our Little Tikes TotSports Easy Score Basketball - Girls is great for growing toddlers.

Designed for permanent installations in cemented driveways, the 71799 includes such features as a Shatter Guard backboard, a spring-back Slam-It Rim, and an Action Grip pole mechanism for speedy height changes.  &lt;p&gt; The goal's sturdiness stems from the cement-ready base, which is more rigid and takes up less space than portable basketball goals (it does require roughly 72 hours of cement drying time, however). The clear 50-inch Shatter Guard backboard, meanwhile, is made of Makrolon polycarbonate, which is virtually unbreakable and 30 times stronger than acrylic. As a result, broken backboards are a thing of the past, even from errant rocks and other non-basketball threats. In addition, the board offers a UV coating that prevents yellowing over time, a high-impact polyethylene frame, and screen-printed inks for fade-resistant color.  &lt;p&gt; Lifetime knows that dunking and above-the-rim play are a huge part of modern basketball, which is why the 71799 also comes with both a height adjustment mechanism and a spring-back rim. The three-piece, 3.5-inch Action Grip pole includes counter-balance springs that make it easy to raise or lower the rim from 7-1/2 to 10 feet in 6-inch increments without requiring a broomstick, crank, or other tool. Thanks to the Action Grip technology, players of all ages and skill levels can enjoy the game on their own terms, while aspiring dunkers can gradually raise the level 6 inches at a time as their vertical improves. The orange Slam-It Rim, meanwhile, is designed specifically for players who like to throw down. The orange solid-steel rim features double-compression springs that give way during dunks to protect the player, then spring back once released. The rim is also supported by 1/2-inch braces, with welded-steel net hooks and an all-weather nylon net.  &lt;p&gt; The 71799, which is protected by a powder-coated, weather-resistant finish, comes with a five-year warranty.&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color=CC6600&gt;&lt;BIG&gt;Amazon.com Basketball System Buying Guide&lt;/BIG&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; With the high-quality construction of many portable basketball systems, turning your driveway into a basketball court can be as simple as hooking up your garden hose. But while a portable system may ultimately be your best choice, there are reasons you may want to consider an in-ground or wall-mount system before you decide.&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color=CC6600&gt;In-Ground Systems&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; In-ground systems are permanently cemented into the ground--either via a bolt mounting kit or directly into the ground--and are generally more rigid and take up less space than portables. In-ground systems often require that you hire a professional to complete the task, but when the cement dries you'll have a hoop that can take punishing dunks with ease.&lt;p&gt;  Many in-ground systems are height-adjustable, include removable post features that let you take the system down for off-season storage, and feature heavy-duty break-away rims. You'll also want to research the adjustable mechanisms on the systems, as there are several types to choose from. Some feature a counter-balance spring that lets you perform easy, one-hand adjustments while others may feature a sturdy, pneumatic system.&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color=CC6600&gt;Wall-Mount Systems&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; Wall-mount systems can be mounted to the side of a house, a tall retaining wall, or a garage. Generally sturdier than portables, wall-mounts have the added advantage of optimizing your existing ground space for the court, since you won't take any space up with the base or pole. Not all systems include the necessary hardware, so make certain you add a mounting kit to your list.&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color=CC6600&gt;Portable Systems&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; Portable systems require minimal installation and offer ultimate convenience. These systems generally feature a base that can be filled with sand or water to stabilize them and include wheels for portability. Although they are not as sturdy as in-ground or wall-mounted hoops, portables are simple to set up and can often be folded for convenient storage.&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color=CC6600&gt;Backboard Considerations&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; Regardless of which system you choose, you'll want to brush up on Backboards 101. Most residential systems feature backboards made of acrylic, fiberglass, graphite, or various other composite materials. While clear acrylic gives the professional look and feel of glass, it is not as rigid as fiberglass or graphite. Some systems may offer steel or aluminum backboards, which are virtually vandal resistant, but don't offer the true rebounding action.&lt;p&gt;  The regulation size of an NBA backboard is 72 inches wide and 42 inches high. Most portable hoops are 42 or 44 inches wide and 36 inches tall. In-ground systems tend to be a bit larger, with 54-inch and 60-inch widths being the most popular. While rectangular shaped backboards provide more bank shot opportunities, they are generally more expensive than the streamlined fan-shaped board. &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;p align='center'&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.amazon.com/Lifetime-71799-Ground-Basketball-Backboard/dp/B0013IOANG?tag=digcamsho4-20' target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;Free Shipping Lifetime 71799 In-Ground Basketball System with 50-Inch Shatter Guard Backboard @ Amazon.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7742486431681559846-6758600095651252953?l=basketballgoals.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://basketballgoals.blogspot.com/feeds/6758600095651252953/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://basketballgoals.blogspot.com/2011/12/lifetime-71799-in-ground-basketball.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7742486431681559846/posts/default/6758600095651252953'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7742486431681559846/posts/default/6758600095651252953'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://basketballgoals.blogspot.com/2011/12/lifetime-71799-in-ground-basketball.html' title='Lifetime 71799 In-Ground Basketball System with 50-Inch Shatter Guard Backboard'/><author><name>Admin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00557012945644063508</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7742486431681559846.post-2619353224669692167</id><published>2011-11-30T21:31:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-30T21:31:08.841-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Basketball'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mounted'/><title type='text'>Wall Mounted Mini Basketball Hoop - Mini Pro 1.0 Hoop Set</title><content type='html'>&lt;h1&gt;Wall Mounted Mini Basketball Hoop - Mini Pro 1.0 Hoop Set Review&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Mini Pro 1.0 Hoop Set provides your children a great set for playing basketball in their bedroom or rec room.

Unlike in-ground basketball hoops--which are typically anchored in concrete--the Courtside portable hoop rolls on wheels, letting you position the basket support in any desired location, from the back patio to the middle of the cul-de-sac. All you have to do is fill the 31-gallon polyethylene base with water or sand and play.  &lt;p&gt; Lifetime knows that dunking and above-the-rim play are a huge part of modern basketball, which is why the Courtside comes with both a height adjustment mechanism and a spring-back rim. The three-piece, 3-inch round Speed Shift pole includes a set of counter-balance springs to help you raise and lower the backboard from 8 to 10 feet with one hand. Thanks to the handy technology, players of all ages and skill levels can enjoy the game on their own terms, while aspiring dunkers can gradually raise the level 6 inches at a time as their vertical improves. The Slam-It Rim, meanwhile, is designed specifically for players who like to throw down. The solid-steel rim features double-compression springs that give way during dunks to protect the player, then spring back once released. The orange rim is also supported by 1/2-inch braces, with welded-steel net hooks and an all-weather nylon net.  &lt;p&gt; And players needn't worry about the backboard shattering after a nasty spill, as the 48-inch Shatter Guard Fusion backboard boasts Makrolon polycarbonate technology that's virtually unbreakable. Other features include fade-resistant graphics screen-printed onto the backboard with UV-resistant inks, a high-impact polyethylene frame around the backboard, and a powder-coated, rust-resistant finish around the pole. The Courtside carries a five-year warranty that covers everything on the system.&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color=CC6600&gt;&lt;BIG&gt;Amazon.com Basketball System Buying Guide&lt;/BIG&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; With the high-quality construction of many portable basketball systems, turning your driveway into a basketball court can be as simple as hooking up your garden hose. But while a portable system may ultimately be your best choice, there are reasons you may want to consider an in-ground or wall-mount system before you decide.&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color=CC6600&gt;In-Ground Systems&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; In-ground systems are permanently cemented into the ground--either via a bolt mounting kit or directly into the ground--and are generally more rigid and take up less space than portables. In-ground systems often require that you hire a professional to complete the task, but when the cement dries you'll have a hoop that can take punishing dunks with ease.&lt;p&gt;  Many in-ground systems are height-adjustable, include removable post features that let you take the system down for off-season storage, and feature heavy-duty break-away rims. You'll also want to research the adjustable mechanisms on the systems, as there are several types to choose from. Some feature a counter-balance spring that lets you perform easy, one-hand adjustments while others may feature a sturdy, pneumatic system.&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color=CC6600&gt;Wall-Mount Systems&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; Wall-mount systems can be mounted to the side of a house, a tall retaining wall, or a garage. Generally sturdier than portables, wall-mounts have the added advantage of optimizing your existing ground space for the court, since you won't take any space up with the base or pole. Not all systems include the necessary hardware, so make certain you add a mounting kit to your list.&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color=CC6600&gt;Portable Systems&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; Portable systems require minimal installation and offer ultimate convenience. These systems generally feature a base that can be filled with sand or water to stabilize them and include wheels for portability. Although they are not as sturdy as in-ground or wall-mounted hoops, portables are simple to set up and can often be folded for convenient storage.&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color=CC6600&gt;Backboard Considerations&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; Regardless of which system you choose, you'll want to brush up on Backboards 101. Most residential systems feature backboards made of acrylic, fiberglass, graphite, or various other composite materials. While clear acrylic gives the professional look and feel of glass, it is not as rigid as fiberglass or graphite. Some systems may offer steel or aluminum backboards, which are virtually vandal resistant, but don't offer the true rebounding action.&lt;p&gt;  The regulation size of an NBA backboard is 72 inches wide and 42 inches high. Most portable hoops are 42 or 44 inches wide and 36 inches tall. In-ground systems tend to be a bit larger, with 54-inch and 60-inch widths being the most popular. While rectangular shaped backboards provide more bank shot opportunities, they are generally more expensive than the streamlined fan-shaped board. &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;p align='center'&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.amazon.com/Lifetime-51550-Courtside-Basketball-Shatterguard/dp/B0013IQENU?tag=digcamsho4-20' target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;Free Shipping Lifetime 51550 Courtside Portable Basketball System with 48-Inch Shatterguard Backboard @ Amazon.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7742486431681559846-3885046955110893524?l=basketballgoals.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://basketballgoals.blogspot.com/feeds/3885046955110893524/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://basketballgoals.blogspot.com/2011/11/lifetime-51550-courtside-portable.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7742486431681559846/posts/default/3885046955110893524'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7742486431681559846/posts/default/3885046955110893524'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://basketballgoals.blogspot.com/2011/11/lifetime-51550-courtside-portable.html' title='Lifetime 51550 Courtside Portable Basketball System with 48-Inch Shatterguard Backboard'/><author><name>Admin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00557012945644063508</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
