  • 🏀 Great hoop, 🤬 to assemble. Please, fire your technical writers & graphic designers.
🏀 This is a sturdy stylish basketball hoop. It is the described height and backboard size. The delivery was curteous and professional despite the dilapidated box. 🏀 That concludes the positive portion of my review. Putting this together was an exercise in patience & mental fortutude, and I failed. I mean, is it together now? Yes. Did it take much longer than it needed to? Yes. Am I, perhaps, just an idiot that can't follow instructions? I doubt it, because every piece of furniture or children's toy that I have purchased from the late 1900' s to now has involved my dumb☆$$ assembling it. My resume includes, cabinets, beds, desks, dining room sets, shelves, dressers, Batcaves, a Kid Kraft Kitchen, doll funriture, the TMNT lair, Barbie's dream house, and even an outdoor swingset treehouse thing. I have gotten pretty good. I even build LEGO as a hobby. I can follow instructions. I am quite familiar with my local Harbor Freight and Home Depot stores. I have some power tools and I know how to use them. 🔧🔨🪛🗜🚧 This manual had to have been written by someone that has never seen a basketball, a bolt, a screwdriver, or assembled anything. The frustration therein is compounded by the fact that the packaging was obtuse and the instructions at times were actually obsurd.. I'm not even sure where to begin. Most furniture to be assembled has the packaging that directly labels the parts. Maybe stickers, maybe it's stamped, maybe there is a cardboard backing to a pack numbering or lettering each bolt. Here, we had none of that. They seemingly came in packs to facilitate the process, labeled 1B, 2B, 3B, etc. The book calls the packs Kit 2, Kit 2, Kit 3, etc. and of course the numbers do not correspond. The first bit that was maddening is that the #60 bolt from the first pack was one of the last bolts used. I found no discernable rhyme or reason to the contents relationship in packaging to each other at some points. The backboard parts list shows an ¹¹/₆₄ drill bit. We'll get to that in a bit (𝘱𝘶𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥). The list of tools required did include sand, a garden hose, a sawhorse, a "scrap wood board," and "2 capable adults." While we won't pause to question if the authors at Spalding were calling me and my wife tools, I will ask you to note the distinct lack of a drill in the tool list. The first indication that this whole project was, as the young people say "shady AF," was the fact that to assemble the main pole, I had to measure and mark 3½" down from the top of 2 of the 3 pieces. There was no pencil, chalk, crayon or Sharpie mentioned in the tool list. OK. I have a pencil & a tape measure. The next step was the head-scratcher. The actual instructions are to jam the tubes together and 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 (on top of your scrap of wood) until they're properly seated at the mark you hopefully measured correctly and marked, perhaps scratching with the drill bit? I mean, this could have been made exponentially easier and fail-proof by maybe marking it at the factory, or having the joints fitted and maybe lock together with a pin or bolt? I mean, the Christmas tree people have had that figured out since what, the 50's or 60's? Throughout the process, I was repeatedly measuring the bolts... because while it said things like #18 or #12, nothing on the bolt or packaging indicated that number. After most of the assembly, it was time to attach to board pads/edge guards to the backboard. There were no holes in the frame around the backboard for this. Odd. They did, however, include self-tapping screws and suggested that you try to use a ⁵/₁₆" socket wrench to break though the metal frame. 🤣 Here is the first time a portable drill is mentioned. It doesn't even note using the inexplicably included drill bit, thay conveniently is the exact right size. I know I didn't need to be Sherlock Holmes there, but I did manage to figure that one out. Thw rest of the assemble wnt as expected. I did get a sawhorse/work bench thing out of the deal from Harbor Freight. I mean, it was in the list, so I 𝘩𝘢𝘥 to get it, right? I will say I made a layman's error in building that I had to rectify after the initial assembly. When I attached to lower elevator tubes to the backboard brackets, I neglected to be sure that I had went through the screw-jack, and only went through the sleeve. You can imagine my f̶i̶t̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶l̶a̶u̶g̶h̶t̶e̶r̶ absolute fury at discovering my error. 🤬 This, my friends, was all on me. At the end, I had to literally use a tape measure to check hoop height. It does indeed go above 10'. I suspect that you expect me to measure the heights of the hopp to match of all the provided poorly-screened stickers and place them neatly on the screw-jack to be displayed by the conviently placed hole in the sleeve at ach of the 6 suggested settings? For what I paid for the hoop... those increments should have been stamped into or printed on the screw jack already. This takes me back to the argument that there is probably a better way to build the main tube for more efficient assembly. If you, dear potential purchaser, have stayed with me this long, then you are brave, resilient, persistent and you may just be a masochist. If you have read all of this and still add it to your cart without selecting professional assembly, then may whatever higher power you ascribe to have mercy on your soul. ... show more

  • Somewhere between 3 1/2 - 4 stars. Instruction manual and video could use some work.
Size: 54" Color: Acrylic Pattern Name: Spalding Ultimate Hybrid 54"
As my title states, the instruction manual and video are slightly difficult to follow. The images are small and though the video is better, it still has issues. I assembled the majority of this unit by myself. My wife helped with the attachment of the backboard (5 minutes) and my daughter helped with the attachment of the rim (also 5 minutes). In total, it took me about 7 hrs. Just auditing all of the parts took about an hour on it's own so really only 6 hrs of assembly and I took my time to study both the manual and video prior to actually doing the assembly step. Warnings: You're going to need a full socket set with a variety of socket heads ranging from 13 mm - 18 mm. Having 2 full sets would be best. A saw horse is recommended, but I used 2 folding tables and it worked fine. As for the some warnings about the parts; make sure to align the different pole parts with consistent holes and notches prior to doing the bouncing process. There's no going back once you start bouncing the poles together. I did a dry fit before bouncing and separating them after the dry fit was difficult. There is also a black plate on one of the pole parts; make sure when attaching the pole to the base, that the black plate is facing away from the backboard. The crank attaches to the plate that's on the pole. Also for the crank cover itself, make sure the hole is facing out towards the back as well. The basket height is shown through that hole so if it's assembled facing the pole (which mine is now), it's more difficult to read. This part was not specific and I only figured it out after the unit was almost done. As for the complaints of the backboard not being aligned with the base. I can definitely see how this can happen very easily. There are several areas while assembling the unit where it can result in an awkward alignment. My backboard turned out fine but I did adjust during the assembly process knowing that some other buyers had this issue. Lastly, the self tapping screws for the backboard guard are garbage. Use the drill bit they provide or better yet use your own if you have some. Even the drill bit is poorly made and I found that my person bits make the process easier. As for the final product...The 54" backboard is fairly sturdy. It does wobble when a shot is put up hard against the board or if the shot hits the rim directly. The vibration is less than I expected but it is noticeable. As an added bonus, at the 7 1/2 ft height; I can stand it up in my garage during the winter months with about 2 inches before it touches the ceiling (you can see the height of the pole in our garage in the first image). All in all, for the price of $690, this is a pretty decent unit as long as you take your time in assembly and plan ahead. ... show more

  • Nice portable unit, don't be afraid of install
This is nice portable unit for the price, $725 at the time of purchase for the 60" backboard. Please be aware, that all portable units are going to have a bit of shake on backboard shots, rim hitting misses from far away, etc--even the high end Beast. I didn't realize this, but found out after purchase. I took one star off because (1) the backboard is very slightly crooked and (2) the unit is difficult to move around. I bought this unit to put in my driveway, but also to wheel out into our cul-de-sac for larger games. With the sand bags out, but water in, the unit is difficult to tilt, and drag around. It's very heavy, and our drive has an incline. It takes two people to tilt/move around/ get back upright, and takes a third to help wheel back up our inclined driveway. The wheels aren't adequate to be doing this frequently. I wouldn't say this unit is made to be wheeled and moved around often. The backboard is slightly titled. This is due to (inconsistent) craftsmanship/production, not assembly. There may be other inconsistencies in production your particular unit may experience instead. After reading all the reviews, I was terrified to put this thing together. But if you know what you're doing, can follow directions and have tools, it's NOT as big of a deal as other reviewers make it out to be. I had it professionally assembled by Universal Service Center in the Chicagoland area. It took 1 person 1.5 hours to assemble and they had no issues (it was filled up, all the boxes neatly put away, etc... I'd highly recommend them if you live around Chicago). If I had to do it all over again, I'd hire these guys, but I'm confident I'd be able to assemble it myself if I had to. ... show more
