Staying Ahead of the Game
Backboard Rigidity
When it comes to great play, backboards are the biggest factor. We have improved the rigidity of our backboards by increasing the glass thickness to a full ˝ inch. Almost all competitors use a thinner less rigid 3/8 inch thick glass backboard. To view the rebounding experiment results click here.
Stainless Steel
Aesthetics, durability and portability have always been features customers have valued. We added stainless steel fasteners to our systems to reduce ugly rust streaks, prevent weakening corroded bolts and ensure you do not run into seizing nuts when moving your system. Competitors use bolts prone to rusting which can cause several problems. To view a comparison,

Flexible Adjustability
If you have a family, you're looking in the right spot. Pro Dunk basketball hoops can be effortlessly adjusted from some of the lowest heights in the industry to a regulation 10' using an innovative crank system (
view demonstration). A 5 year old child can easily and safely move the system to any height they desire. Other systems don't adjust as low or require an adult leaving young children frustrated.
Introduction
The in-ground, height-adjustable Pro Dunk® Gold basketball hoop has a huge 60" x 36" backboard in your choice
of durable, solid tempered glass or economical, clear acrylic material. This basketball hoop is so easily
adjusted from 5' to 10' (no goal available goes lower!) that a five year old child could easily and safely
move the system up and down. The backboard is attached to a rigid 5" square (7 guage) one piece pole. It
comes with a college break-away rim that has an internal dual spring back mechanism that is pressure
release adjustable making it perfect for any player. The huge backboard, sturdy pole and college
break-away rim make you feel like your playing in a gym.

Backboard
This system comes with a ˝ thick acrylic or tempered glass backboard. Both are premium
durable backboards backed by our lifetime warranty.
The tempered glass backboard is the only one of its kind. Competitors use thinner
(3/8 inch) less rigid backboards that do not rebound as well. Gymnasiums including
the NBA and NCAA use ˝ thick backboards because of their superior rebounding qualities.

Glass plays much better and is more durable over time than acrylic backboards.
Acrylic is a relatively soft plastic that tends to accumulate scratches over time
dulling the board.
If you are looking for an economical solution, the clear acrylic boards offer an
outstanding professional look at a more affordable price. They are also more resilient
to vandalism if you foresee that being a problem. The acrylic backboard is a full 1/2
inch thick (many competitors use 3/8 inch thick) with a heavy-duty aluminum frame that's
supported at the corners with steel supports for added rigidity (view backboard frame comparison).

In our 20 years of experience, we have found that a tempered glass backboard is the most
valuable feature on the basketball hoop. We strongly encourage choosing tempered glass
backboards because of their superior play and durability.
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,

Installation
The installation of this height-adjustable, in-ground basketball hoop 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. The backboard and
rim can be installed at chest height without the use of ladders by lowering the arms to 5'. To make the
installation as easy as possible we have preinstalled the "H" bracket and backboard padding for you reducing
your installation time by 20%! 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.
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.
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.
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.
