Description

Introduction

The Pro DunkŪ Bronze in-ground, height-adjustable basketball system has a thick 4" square one piece pole and a big 48" x 36" backboard in your choice of durable, solid tempered glass or economical, clear acrylic material. It is adjustable from 5' in rim height (no goal available goes lower!) to a regulation 10' or anywhere in-between and comes with a regulation college break-away rim. The thick 4" (7 gauge) pole, big backboard (full 1/2" think!), and break-away rim on this basketball system combine to give a great driveway playing experience.



Great Play At The Right Price

If your budget is tight and you don't want to settle for a lower quality basketball system then here is your answer. This is the most economical goal from the high quality residential Pro Dunk® line. It will cater to young players with its infinite height adjustment and impress the most demanding players with its professional play.



Backboard

In our 20 years of experience, we have found that the tempered glass backboard is the most valuable feature on the basketball system. We strongly encourage choosing tempered glass backboards because of their superior play and durability. If you are looking for an economical solution, the clear acrylic boards offer an outstanding professional look at a more affordable price. The acrylic backboard is a full 1/2" thick! For more information of the difference between tempered glass and acrylic backboards click here.



Height Adjustability

The basketball system is infinitely height adjustable from 5' feet in rim height to a regulation 10'. When installed the height meter is custom set for your playing surface to ensure the height is precise unlike several competitors. Height adjustment with our spring balanced lift assist mechanism is so effortless to adjust that a 5 year old child can easily and safely raise and lower the hoop. It is also mounted low enough for young children to easily use. For a demonstration of the lift assist mechanism in action, click here.



Durability

This hoop was designed to hold up in brutal weather conditions. It takes advantage of a durable powder coat finish (learn about powder coating) that resists scratches and keeps corrosives away from the steel. We also use stainless steel fasteners to reduce rusting. You will not have to worry about ugly rust streaks or weakening bolts (view example). You will also see a tremendous amount of rigidity from the thick one-piece 7 gauge pole. The professional quality break-away rim will hold up to dunking and hanging unlike flimsily static alternatives.



Installation

The installation of this height-adjustable, in-ground basketball system is one of the easiest and safest on the market. The exceptional engineering along with our 20 years of installation experience ensure you will be successful. Eight main bolts are all that is required to complete the installation. We have preinstalled the "H" bracket and backboard padding reducing your installation time by 20%! The backboard and rim can be installed at chest height without the use of ladders by lowering the arms to 5'. We have also implemented an innovative pier system (view demonstration) that makes leveling a cinch and portability an easy possibility. See the installation instructions for a detailed, easy to follow explanation.



Lifetime Warranty

This system is backed by our limited lifetime warranty as all Pro Dunk® basketball systems are. We are confident you will find your hoop to be durable, long lasting and endure a lifetime of aggressive play. Unlike other systems the Pro Dunk® systems were designed with dunking in mind. You will not void you warranty when dunking and hanging on a Pro Dunk® rim. For complete warranty information click here.



FREE Padding!

Backboard, pole and gusset padding is included with this system. The backboard padding is built using our exclusive molding process that incorporates a steel insert which gives strength at all mounting locations (fasteners can not pull out). The excellent water resistant urethane skinned surface and high density urethane foam gives superior durability and protection for young and elite players.

Can The Other Guy Compete?

Pro Dunk® basketball systems have many beneficial unique features. Don't miss out by settling with another basketball hoop. Click on the features below for more information.


Stainless Steel Fasteners
Pro Dunk® basketball goals are one of the few that include stainless steel fasteners. Other systems use regular steel which is prone to rusting which could weaken bolts over time (view diagram). Also, stainless steel bolts ensure you can easily disassemble your system when moving without worrying about corroded bolts seizing up.
No Hidden Costs
Pro Dunk® basketball hoops come with everything you'll need. The price you see on the web site is the price you'll pay and not a penny more!
Lifetime Dunking Warranty
Almost all other manufactures did not design their basketball hoops with dunking and hanging in mind. The Hoops lifetime warranty covers dunking and hanging on the rim.
One Piece 7 Gauge Square Pole
Many lower quality systems will use a two-piece pole and lighter steel. Pro Dunk® systems use a thick (7 gauge) one-piece pole for superior rigidity and durability.
Aluminum Backboard Frame
Steel backboard frames used by many manufacturers are prone to rusting unlike the rust-roof aluminum frames used on Pro Dunk® systems.
Clean and Professional Look
Other goals have many logos and markings which many believe makes it look cheap and tacky. Pro Dunk® systems have one discrete sticker on the arm which does not take away from the class of the system.
Flexible Adjustability
If you have small children you'll be glad to hear that Pro Dunk® systems will adjust to as low as 5 feet. Other systems will usually go no lower than 7.5 feet!
Padding
Hoops wants its customers to be safe so we include a full padding set with every Pro Dunk system. Other companies will usually charge extra for their padding.
Pier Based System
Some hoops are designed to be installed directly into the ground. Pro Dunk® goals use a pier system which makes it easy to move your goal when you move (view demonstration).

This is a comparison between the Pro Dunk Diamond and other 8 inch pole systems. These 8 inch systems are the upper echelon of the residential basketball goal market. They are the biggest goals you can buy and we have pitted them against each other to crown a victor.

1st Period: Durability

Extension Arm Rigidity

As seen in the diagram below, the Pro DunkŪ Diamond effectively has a 15 inch wide extension arm. The other system has 4 inch wide extension arm. The wider arm gives the Pro DunkŪ Diamond a big stability advantage over the smaller arm of the other basketball goal.

Support Where It Counts

80% of all backboard shots hit right around or in the shooter's square(view demonstration). The Pro DunkŪ Diamond uses an "H" bracket that adds support right at this point. This is also where all four extension arms attach to the system. Other 8 inch systems use wide out-stretching arms that attach to the backboards outer edges which does not add any support to the shooter's square.

2nd Period: Aesthetics

Rust

The Pro DunkŪ Diamond uses stainless steel fasteners to make the system more durable and reduce ugly rust streaks. Other 8 inch systems do not use stainless steel fasters. Other also use a steel backboard frame which can leave nasty rust streaks down your backboard whereas the Pro DunkŪ Diamond uses an aluminum (does not rust) backboard frame. Also, it should be noted that paint and rusting on most other systems are not warranted.

Obtrusive

Many believe that the other 8 inch basketball systems are more obtrusive and overbearing than the Pro DunkŪ Diamond. Since many systems have arms that jet out to the far edges of the backboard this is an understandable claim. The Pro DunkŪ Diamond uses a smaller form factor arm system and has no markings or logos on the backboard or padding which many believe makes it look more professional and less tacky.

3rd Period: Features

Adjustability

Most systems will not adjust below 7 feet. If you have small children and want to get the most out of your system you'll need a hoop that will adjust lower. The Pro DunkŪ Diamond will adjust all the way down to 6 feet.

Regulation

The biggest difference is the overhang distance. The regulation distance from the baseline to the front of the backboard is 4 feet. Since other systems have a 4 foot overhang, the pole, base and padding will be in your regulation playing area! The Pro DunkŪ Diamond has a 5 foot overhang allowing you to keep the pole completely out of your regulation playing area.

4th Period: Dunking

Most other 8 inch basketball systems do NOT warrant dunking and hanging on the rim. If you hang on the rim, your warranty will be voided. Most systems were not designed for dunking and hanging. The Pro DunkŪ Diamond is fully warranted against dunking and hanging on the rim.

The clear victor is the Pro DunkŪ Diamond with its long stable extension arm, lower adjustability, stainless steel fasteners and warranted dunking/hanging.
