Best BBall Goal for the $
« on: February 29, 2012, 08:46:56 AM »
I am getting ready to pour a large patio in the back yard with a bball goal. I know gorilla goals are awesome, but does anyone have any better recommendations for less money? What's the best deal on a permanent bball goal?

people where I grew up put in an adjustable clear backboard Future Pro.  was probably the greatest thing that ever happend to our town.

•Off-glass goal mounting protects the backboard from stress when players contact the rim during slam dunk action

It was a big day when we started playing our townie little kid pickup games at 9' instead of 8'6" because it was becoming too much of a dunk show  :gocho:

Oh man, when was your first oop/dunk in a pickup game? I remember my first. 7th grade at the church's goal and we lowered it a bit. I did some fist pumping after that.  :emawkid:

don't really remember but I'm sure it was sometime around the 7" goal lowered range.  that's the great thing about adjustable future pros, you can enjoy playing basektball at any age.  once I got out of Little Dribblers and realized I was going to be forced to play on a TEN FOOT GOAL (with a girls ball) I was pretty steamed.

Gorilla Goals. I'm pretty sure they are expensive as eff but they are the crap. Everyday after school that thing would get lowered to 8 feet and I would do my best Chris Webber impression.

Hmm. I just wanted to ask 'clams if he knew my cousin, a TKE. Not in a creepy let's make internet friends kind of way, but because my cousin is a cool guy. Instead I made a remark that was intended to embarrass both TKE and 'clams. It made me and my social organization look stupid. I apologize to everyone affected.

hey ging sorry for saying that du isn't even a real frat because they don't haze or have secrets and they're about 5 miles from campus and most people don't even know where du is located

it was wrong of me

The best goal for the money is to wait for the Gorilla goals to go on sale at Dicks's for Black Friday, they had the 60" for $700 this past Black Friday.

If you can get a goal for less than a thousand I would doubt it's quality. Sounds too good to be true. But if it is......FULL COURT
