Just got this unit a coupe of days ago locally and installed it. Its perfect with its large size backboard and the kids are loving it. Only thing I didn't like is the little bit of a wiggle in the lift unit that makes the backboard shake when the ball hits. Its not as solid as I expected. Maybe I didn't do something right, im not sure.

I have this one for my son. Assembly was easier than other hoops I've owned. The backboard is big but thin and flimsy. You're basically getting what you pay for.

Polycarbonate vs acrylic which one is recommended ?

Also it is just $30 off from original price which is not a big difference. I can wait for a better one within same price range..

Suggestions please..

I believe polycarbonate is more durable.

Deal has been posted a couple times previously for the same price as well.

Like previously mentioned, polycarbonate is more durable while being lightweight at the same time, easy to assemble and move around for residential use. But, the backboard has more give (some may describe it as "flimsy"). The ball doesn't bounce off of it quite the same as at indoor gyms (usually made of glass).
I have this exact hoop and got it for a tad under $200. If my kids get more serious about basketball, I'm going to save up and upgrade to something nicer.

This was at $179 regular price couple of years ago. I purchased it for $140 with free basketball 3-4 years ago. I live on end of street (court). Told my front Neighbors they also purchased one and now we have full court setup. Good quality hoop.

We got one a couple of months ago. The Walmart install service was great and well worth it in my opinion. I think the hoop is a great value, the kids like it, it looks nice in the driveway, the backboard is somewhat wobbly, but not horrible. We usually keep ours low for our young boys, but I noticed it has less wobble when extended to 10ft. Don't forget to get the gel to fill the base!

I'm guessing using that gel isn't a good idea for someone that has to move the hoop into the garage because HOA won't allow them?

You can still move it on its wheels with the gel, but it takes more effort to get the pole horizontal.

Oh okay. I saw it said it's weighs 40 (or 400?) times more than water so sounded like it would be extremely hard to move.

I've seen a lot of reviews for this one on YT and that seems like a common complaint. I think aesthetically speaking I'm attracted to how it looks compared to other hoops, plus it seems easy to adjust the height with the lever.

In all honesty, its not terrible. Everything about it works really well and looks good. We're having fun with it.

Got this on clearance few years ago for 99. It is big but like previously said. It shakes if the balls hits it hard. However extremely durable. I forgot to water the base and one windy night the whole thing was blew over. just couple of minor scratches, still playable.
