I went back and forth between the major competitors looking for a beautiful and heavy duty basketball goal. I credit Mega Slam for their comparison video, which you can find on their website. Mega Slam was not a contender until the final moments of my search when I watched their video and compared it to other high-end goals. Not only is the price competitive, but it comes with pole pad, backboard pad, and UV protection for the price. When I unboxed it, I was legit impressed with how heavy the components were. These are military grade parts! I have a son in 7th grade and I have no doubt I'll be shooting hoops with his son on this very goal one day. It's 100% an investment I'm glad I made! It looks amazing in my driveway and it plays true to form. I installed this myself. Word of advice, get your friends to help. I lifted the 300lb post onto the foundation by myself. However, there is no chance one man can install the backboard alone. It took me and two buddies to do it. And I used the bucket of my tractor to lift it up.
