I was worried that I was making a mistake buying a hoop that, for some unknown reason, was $800 cheaper than equivalent models from two other competitors. The MegaSlam 72 feels like a professional-grade hoop and is of very high quality. The backboard is just gorgeous, and the padding and foot cover were a very pleasant surprise. Another concern I had before the purchase was the installation. The instructions were great, and the whole process was actually very straightforward and the hoop easy to install. I mostly did it myself, although I needed a couple of my strong neighbors to help get the backboard on—it's a beast. I appreciated that there was enough flexibility in the system to make everything perfectly straight. Yes, you have the anchor with self-leveling nuts, but you also have a bit of play with the post in case your pad is not perfectly parallel to your court (don't ask how I know that :)). As a casual player who wanted to build a proper sports court in his backyard, with a high quality hoop, I'm very happy with my purchase.
