Spalding Portable Basketball Hoop
Enjoy years of recreational basketball fun in your backyard with The Beast residential portable basketball system from Spalding (model 74560), which provides arena-quality play for your driveway. The four-strut pole/base mount allows for superior system rigidity. The multi-wheel design with castors and the engaging handle make this portable basketball system easier to move. And the gray inset cover acts as a handle for pre-play movement and a rebounder during play. The 50+-gallon base fills with water or sand for stability.
The 60 inch, 1/4-inch thick glass backboard provides 37 percent truer rebound than acrylic, and it’s framed in heavy duty steel with aluminum trim. The four-point Z-arm board mount provides increased stability and goal reinforcement. This Spalding basketball system includes a Pro Image breakaway rim with heavy duty wrap around support and steel rams. The institutional style screw-jack lift provides infinite height adjustment from 7.5 feet to 10 feet.

I knew from reading other reviews that this is a top of the line product .Now that I put it together I can tell you I got more help from the prior reviewers who I refered to during the fustrating assembly process. You would think the manufacturer would read these and try to improve on the process by redoing the instruction manual. I had the same problem as others getting the to main posts together using oil and laying one end against a tree and pounding a wood block on the top with sledge hammer The way they instruct is useless I also experienced what another reviewer did and that was to sheer or on of the bolts that hold the main pole to the base. You really need to tighten down those already on the base Get them all tight before you try to tighten the base bolts down It tells you in the beginning to tighten them but I think it should be a more important call ou to you and a CAUTION on the page where you put the post to the base Could a saved a trip to Home Depot for new bolt with a little more instruction in the manual
We ran out of patience on the height adjustment which we didnt know we had to slide the the hole inside the tube . Called several times and waited 20 minutes twice to get thru
Great product we are happy we bought it maybe thats why the company doesnt care to improve the inx .Looking back after doing it once I could put it together easily again but that tells you the instructions are poor and you have to learn from experiece or from other reviewers as the manual falls terribly short as far as I am concerned

1. product great
2.came in 3 boxes – i got doubles on one box so amazon had to resend all three and take all 3 back
neither came with directions, but spauding emailed direction promptly
didnt come with rod for wheels but i used an all threaded bolt instead of calling amazon again.
i give credit to amazon for havin good phone service to answer questions
make sure you put poles together correctly cause they are hard to take apart. wasnt bad at all to put together. on a scale 1-10 i give it a 5. directions not bad at all .it is a great system and it is well worth money vs a cheaper system that a storm will blow over. you dont even need sand if you have water in the base. cant say how more than expected the system turned out to be

The product is 1st class, the two pole peices are a bear to assemble. I advise you sand the poles paint off were they slide together and also oil. It will make a great difference when you try and put them together.

This system is really the best residential portable out there BY MILES. It really is top notch quality and looks great. It is as solid as a tank. At the store, I thought it might actually look like a huge tank in my yard, but when I got it home – it was fine. It does resemble a crane but I have received complements on the look and quality.
Seriously – go to the store and bounce a ball off the backboards of the lower cost portal goals at they will jiggle around and vibrate. This thing does not.
Also, I weight 220 pounds and can hang on the rim without pulling the thing over – try that with any other portable system. It’s going to take a tornado to topple this thing in a wind storm – if even possible.
If you take care of this thing – it will last 10 years. I justified the extra cost by thinking how much would a nice goal(compared to the $350 ones) cost over the next 10 years – and this came out the winner.
With this, and any outside steel structures, you should check for bare spots or rust spots in the metal and cover with “flat” black rustolium – takes 2 minutes. If you do that once or twice a summer, then this thing will last 15+ years.

The Spalding Beast is the best portable basketball system I have ever seen! I got this system so my 12 year old son could practice on a court that gave the same backboard response as a regulation court and this is as close as you can get with an outdoor portable system. Now all the neighborhood kids are playing on it.
