We have improved the rigidity of our backboards by increasing the glass thickness to a full ½ inch. Almost all competitors use a thinner less rigid 3/8 inch thick glass backboard. To view the rebounding experiment results click here. Stainless SteelAesthetics, durability and portability have always been features customers have valued. We added stainless steel fasteners to our systems to reduce ugly rust streaks, prevent weakening corroded bolts and ensure you do not run into seizing nuts when moving your system. Competitors use bolts prone to rusting which can cause several problems. To view a comparison, click here. Flexible AdjustabilityIf you have a family, you're looking in the right spot. Pro Dunk basketball hoops can be effortlessly adjusted from some of the lowest heights in the industry to a regulation 10' using an innovative crank system (view demonstration). A 5 year old child can easily move these massive backboards all the way up to 10 feet. Competitors systems will usually not adjust as low leaving out and frustrated young children. Introduction The in-ground, height-adjustable Pro Dunk® Gold Glass basketball hoop has a huge 60" x 36" x 1/2 tempered glass backboard. This basketball hoop is so easily adjusted from 5' to 10' (no goal available goes lower!) that a five year old child could easily and safely move the system up and down. The backboard is attached to a rigid 5" square (7 guage) one piece pole. It comes with a college break-away rim that has an internal dual spring back mechanism that is pressure release adjustable making it perfect for any player. The huge backboard, sturdy pole and college break-away rim make you feel like your playing in a gym. Best Selling Driveway Basketball Goal If the Platinum doesn't fit your budget or is just more than you want this system is your answer. It delivers the best value from our Pro Dunk line, fits comfortably in most driveways, and is our best selling driveway basketball system. Backboard The tempered glass backboard is the only one of its kind. Competitors use thinner (3/8 inch) less rigid backboards that do not rebound as well. Gymnasiums including the NBA and NCAA use 1/2 thick backboards because of their superior rebounding qualities. View our rebounding experiment here. Glass plays much better and is more durable over time than acrylic backboards. Acrylic is a relatively soft plastic that tends to accumulate scratches over time dulling the board. To learn more about the differences between glass and acrylic, click here. In our 20 years of experience, we have found that a tempered glass backboard is the most valuable feature on the basketball hoop. We strongly encourage choosing tempered glass backboards because of their superior play and durability. Height Adjustability The basketball system is infinitely height adjustable from 5' feet in rim height to a regulation 10'. When installed the height meter is custom set for your playing surface to ensure the height is precise unlike several competitors. Height adjustment with our spring balanced lift assist mechanism is so effortless to adjust that a 5 year old child can easily and safely raise and lower the hoop. It is also mounted low enough for young children to easily use. For a demonstration of the lift assist mechanism in action, click here. Installation The installation of this height-adjustable, in-ground basketball hoop is one of the easiest and safest on the market. The exceptional engineering along with our 20 years of installation experience ensure you will be successful. Eight main bolts are all that is required to complete the installation. The backboard and rim can be installed at chest height without the use of ladders by lowering the arms to 5'. To make the installation as easy as possible we have preinstalled the "H" bracket and backboard padding for you reducing your installation time by 20%! We have also implemented an innovative pier system (view demonstration) that makes leveling a cinch and portability an easy possibility. See the installation instructions for a detailed, easy to follow explanation. Durability This hoop was designed to hold up in brutal weather conditions. It takes advantage of a durable powder coat finish (learn about powder coating) that resists scratches and keeps corrosives away from the steel. We also use stainless steel fasteners to reduce rusting. You will not have to worry about ugly rust streaks or weakening bolts (view example). You will also see a tremendous amount of rigidity from the thick one-piece 7 gauge pole. The professional quality break-away rim will hold up to dunking and hanging unlike flimsily static alternatives. FREE Padding! Backboard, pole and gusset padding is included with this system. The backboard padding is built using our exclusive molding process that incorporates a steel insert which gives strength at all mounting locations (fasteners can not pull out). The excellent water resistant urethane skinned surface and high density urethane foam gives superior durability and protection for young and elite players. Lifetime Warranty This system is backed by our limited lifetime warranty as all Pro Dunk® basketball systems are. We are confident you will find your hoop to be durable, long lasting and endure a lifetime of aggressive play. Unlike other systems the Pro Dunk® systems were designed with dunking in mind. You will not void you warranty when dunking and hanging on a Pro Dunk® rim. For complete warranty information click here.

We have improved the rigidity of our backboards by increasing the glass thickness to a full ½ inch. Almost all competitors use a thinner less rigid 3/8 inch thick glass backboard. To view the rebounding experiment results click here. Stainless Steel FastenersPro Dunk® basketball goals are one of the few that include stainless steel fasteners. Other systems use regular steel which is prone to rusting which could weaken bolts over time (view diagram). Also, stainless steel bolts ensure you can easily disassemble your system when moving without worrying about corroded bolts seizing up. No Hidden CostsPro Dunk® basketball hoops come with everything you'll need. The price you see on the web site is the price you'll pay and not a penny more! Lifetime Dunking WarrantyAlmost all other manufactures did not design their basketball hoops with dunking and hanging in mind. The Hoops lifetime warranty covers dunking and hanging on the rim. One Piece 7 Gauge Square PoleMany lower quality systems will use a two-piece pole and lighter steel. Pro Dunk® systems use a thick (7 gauge) one-piece pole for superior rigidity and durability. Aluminum Backboard FrameSteel backboard frames used by many manufacturers are prone to rusting unlike the rust-roof aluminum frames used on Pro Dunk® systems. Clean and Professional LookOther goals have many logos and markings which many believe makes it look cheap and tacky. Pro Dunk® systems have one discrete sticker on the arm which does not take away from the class of the system. Flexible AdjustabilityIf you have small children you'll be glad to hear that Pro Dunk® systems will adjust to as low as 5 feet. Other systems will usually go no lower than 7.5 feet! PaddingHoops wants its customers to be safe so we include a full padding set with every Pro Dunk system. Other companies will usually charge extra for their padding. Safe Overhang DistanceA larger overhang will keep players and balls in play while preventing aggressive players from running into the pole when playing under the basket. Pier Based SystemSome hoops are designed to be installed directly into the ground. Pro Dunk® goals use a pier system which makes it easy to move your goal when you move (view demonstration).
