After hours of research I settled on the Mega slam Hoop due to the perceived quality and competitive price. I went with the 72 with the 180 pro. Delivery was super fast. Shipped next day and it was at local distribution center in 3 days from purchase. Unfortunately, it took 8 more days to get it to my house due to local carrier issues. They aren't kidding. This thing is solid and weights a ton. Get help to move it and assemble it (especially the backboard). The quality is superb and it shows that it is built to last and built with pride. Great job Mega Slam team. Assembly was a piece of cake once you figure out what size the bolt and nuts are (would be great if it was listed in the instruction manual). After assembling it, it is clear the engineers thought this through and the team that makes the parts take pride in their work. great welds, great coating, great packaging. All and all, I am extremely happy with this product and recommend it to anyone who is looking for a quality hoop that I am sure will last for decades. Kids love it. Our backyard is now the neighborhood playground. Also: prior to purchase I called their number and spoke to one of their employees (I got the sense he was an engineer but not certain). I wanted to get info about the I-bars as my slab pour was scheduled prior to the arrival. The gentleman was extremely polite and knowledgeable. He took the time to answer my questions. The call made it obvious I wanted to buy their product.

This is an amazing product. We went from an outdated hoop on a pole that had been at our school for years! One of the parents who helped install the new hoops actually played on the hoops when he was at our school. The new hoops are beautiful and I am sure they will improve the ability of our Basketball players! Strong. Sturdy. Aesthetically Pleasing!

Overall good experience. Great customer service, replaced missing item immediately!
