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. 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 massive tempered glass backboard is the same size (72" x 42" x 1/2") and quality used at universities and professional arenas. This basketball goal is easy enough for a 5 year old child to adjust from 5' 6" to 10'. We mount the thick backboard to our rigid, rock-solid, 6" square (3/16" thick) one-piece pole. The college break-away rim uses an internal dual spring back mechanism that is pressure release adjustable to suit any player's preference. These features combine to make this basketball goal play just like a gym system.
Holiday Sale
The Pro Dunk Platinum is now part of the Holiday Sale! You will get this massive
premium basketball system at the amazing low price of $1,649.00. This includes
shipping, a complete padding set, lifetime warranty and full 1/2 inch thick NCAA
glass backboard! Act now while supplies last.
Backboard
The full 1/2 inch thick NBA and NCAA sized tempered glass backboard plays just like a gymnasium hoop. The thick aluminum backboard frame and 1/2 inch glass thickness improves rebounding characteristics by 9% over competitor's thinner 3/8 inch glass backboards and 31% over competitor's 1/2 inch acrylic boards (view experiment results). The glass (similar to your car windshield) will stay crystal clear and never dull from scratches like the softer acrylic material. From our 20 years of experience, we have found that tempered glass backboards are the single most important feature in a basketball system to improve the overall quality of play. To learn more about the differences in tempered glass and acrylic read our guide found here.
Height Adjustability
The basketball system is infinitely height adjustable from 5' 6" 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 dual spring balanced lift assist mechanism is effortless.
Installation
The installation of this height-adjustable, in-ground basketball goal 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' 6". 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. Each piece 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.

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.
1/2 Inch Thick Backboard
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 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!
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.
Rigid Extension Arm Design
The Pro Dunk® design adds support around the shooter's square where a vast majority of
bank shots are taken. Other systems add support at the edges of the backboard where
very few shots are taken (
view diagram).
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.
Tempered Glass Backboard
Make sure your system uses tempered glass. Plastic acrylic boards dull and do not
play as well.
Safe Overhang Distance
A larger overhang will keep players and balls in play while preventing aggressive players
from running into the pole when playing under the basket.
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 Dunk® Diamond effectively has a 15 inch wide extension arm. The
other system has 4 inch wide extension arm. The wider arm gives the Pro
Dunk® 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 Dunk® 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 Dunk® 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 Dunk® 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
Dunk® Diamond. Since many systems have arms that jet out to the far edges of the backboard this is an
understandable claim. The Pro Dunk® 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 Dunk® 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 Dunk® 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
Dunk® Diamond is fully warranted against dunking and hanging on the rim.
The clear victor is the Pro Dunk® Diamond with its long stable extension arm, lower adjustability, stainless steel
fasteners and warranted dunking/hanging.
