A little back story. My wife and I have been watching and looking for a hoop for our kids for Christmas. The idea was to buy it for them as a present and surprise them on Christmas morning with it fully installed (more on that later). We both played competitive basketball and so we wanted to get something high quality that wouldn't break the bank. After finding this hoop on a lightning deal, and after having read most of the reviews we decided we'd be fools not to give it a go! For the price, it was slightly higher than the cost of a cheaper standalone unit that we all know will not hold up over time, and can't provide the type of gameplay needed for those who want a gym-worthy hoop outdoors. I love the solid play of a glass backboard that is mounted to a sturdy support. I am hoping that is what we will get with this hoop! Here were our initial reasons for choosing this unit specifically: 1. Sturdy construction 2. Authentic gameplay 3. Value 4. Portability (If we move it is possible to take it with us) INSTALL: In order to have the unit standing tall and beautiful on Christmas morning, I knew I was going to have to get creative because my kids were bound to ask my dad was digging a hole in the yard. So, because I was installing our hoop on the street, I told my kids that I was installing the lower portion of a new mailbox. They bought it. And my son even begged to help. Win, win. The digging of the hole was definitely a chore. I even had a gas-powered auger, but due to rocks that had to removed and broken apart it was tough work. It took me about 5 hours start to finish when you consider cleaning up of the work area and the tools. It was backbreaking work, but in the end I hope it will be worth it to give the hoop that rock solid experience. ASSEMBLY: A friend opened his shop up to me so that I could assemble the hoop and have it ready for a quick install christmas eve late. Surprisingly, using some creativity I was able to do the majority of the assembly on my own without help. Each component of this hoop is amazingly stout and sturdy. The hardware and directions were excellent. One of the best executed assemblies I have experienced. And I've built my fair share of stuff. It honestly felt like I was putting together an NBA hoop. I was careful to install everything correctly, even facing all the bolts so that the nicer looking bolt-head sides were all on the side that would be visible from the street as you drive in (yeah, I have OCD). In order to install the backboard (which weighs a ton), I laid it face-down and used some blocking to raise it to the right height to mount it to the pole. This step worked beatifully, and at this point Im glad I'm not goin to be standing in the rain with 3 friends screaming "Did you get the bolts in?!" while I struggle to hold it in place. Having a large cart/worktable on wheels was very handy as well. I did have my buddy help me rotate the hoop over onto it's side so I could install the rim, but otherwise I was able to do it all myself. I rolled it on it's back and braced it to be safe for the few days it would wait in the shop before install. To be clear, the instructions called for the install of the backboard to happen in the air, but I didn't want to try to accomplish this on Christmas eve, in the cold, and dark, with 4 people I probably won't have at my disposal. I am figuring it will still take 2-3 of us to stand this big boy up (fingers crossed) but I've got a plan in mind and the whole instal should be over in 10 minutes. (I'll update with how it goes). An update with the final results after Christmas!! โโโโโโโโโโโโโโ Installed! Final thoughts.... In the darkness of Christmas Eve myself and 3 faithful friends brought the hoop from my friend nearby shop and installed it. The most difficult part was honestly loading it in the trailer as to be secure and not damage anything. I was very anal about it not being damaged in transit. With 4 men, it was quite easy to lift and install on the studs, pole, backboard and all. After doing it this way Iโd say I canโt imagjne trying to do it the other way. The morning came and the kids have loved it. My final thoughts... 1. It does wobble a bit. I knew going in that it would given the engineering. If a little wobble isnโt ok for you, look elsewhere. 2. The rim and backboard are legit. Super solid play and excellent outdoor experience of playing on an interior gym hoop. 3. The backboard is a tad short. But again, I knew this going in. 4. Very very impressed. 5 star product for $400!!

I purchased this goal in 2018 at a deeply discounted price ($600 at that time) and this goal is worth every penny of that price. Compared to 2021 prices, the value is not quite as great but still an affordable goal with a premium feel. I started my install and hit a huge obstacle right from the beginning. I only dug about 20" until I hit solid bedrock. I ended up having to rent a jackhammer to bust through the thick layer of rock and was only able to get about 33" deep in the hole with the jackhammer. I did some calculating I figured I would still have enough concrete in the hole to stabilize the goal and I did end up getting a total of 8 80lb bags into the hole (640 lbs). This weight along with the fact the last 10-12" were laid into solid bedrock, I hoped it would be good and it was. The rest of the install was not too difficult. Kudos to Escalade sports for putting together one of the best if not THE best set of instructions I've ever attempted. Very good detailed instructions with great pictures and an equally great packaging engineering of the hardware and goal itself. Everything was neatly laid out and packaged perfectly with vacuum sealed hardware pack with corresponding labels, does not get any better than this. Aside from digging/busting the hole in the ground, the next most challenging part is getting the backboard up in the air to attach to the pole. This step was made spectacularly easy for me by renting a drywall lift from my local rental tool shop. For $29, this tool made this step an absolute breeze. My wife and I were able to get the board on the lift, add some ratchet straps for a little more peace of mind, wheel it out from my garage to the pole and lift it right into place. I highly recommend renting a lift instead of recruiting your neighbors to help lift it. Even with 4-5 adults lifting this large piece of glass, I feel the drywall lift made the install way safer and way easier. I was a little worried that my goal would have a lot of wobble after shots because of the limited number of bags of concrete I could set in the ballast, but boy was I surprised. This thing is ROCK SOLID and is so close to the feel of a gym hoop that I can barely tell a difference. There is just the slightest bit of wobble to my goal after a shot is taken. I'm thinking about filling the bottom of the pole with foam or some type of deadening material or adding some rubber washers in between the anchor plate and the pole to take some of this out, but really it doesn't need a thing. The only thing I could say is I wish the pole itself was a little bit heavier to counter balance the heavy back board. But all in all, I LOCE this goal and am hoping for many years of fun with my daughters on it!!

Shopped around for a basketball hoop to put in our cul de sac and chose the Silverback SB-60 after reviewing several options on Amazon and other sites. This is primarily for recreational family use, but will be used heavily by our neighborhood kids and adult games in the cul de sac. I've had the hoop installed for over a week and I'm very happy with it! Installation: Instructions were easy to follow and I assembled everything myself except for putting up the backboard, which took 4 people (it's a beast!) Assembly tip: use the bed of a pickup truck to mount the backboard - it is significantly easier on everyone lifting. Concrete Base: Hardest part was digging the 16" round x 36" deep hole. Anything below 1" deep is apparently solid rock in my yard, so this was a 4 hour digging bar workout! Instructions called for 9 bags of 80# concrete but I used 10 bags. Recommend you grab an extra bag or two - you definitely don't want to be running to the hardware store while the first 9 bags are setting up! Value: The SB-60 is around 200 bucks higher than its 54" kid brother (SB-54iG) but the SB-60 features an anchor system so the pole isn't cemented into the ground. If you ever need to move your hoop, sell your hoop or even take it down for the winter (not for the faint of heart!), then the SB-60 is well worth the 200 bucks. Plus the 60" backboard it's a more solid playing system with a more realistic feel. Look & Feel: 60" glass backboard with aluminum trim is very professional looking. Backboard has very minor shake on hard shots, which dissipates quickly. Overall, the SB-60 Hoop system is extremely sturdy and easily adequate for neighborhood games. I highly recommend it! Happy hooping!!
