This is the real deal! Once you have it setup, which isn't easy, you have a quality basketball goal good for many years. A friend of mine installed this model two years ago and it still looks new! I had to get one for myself and kids! Setup isn't bad if you consider yourself a handyman. Take your time, lay out the parts and review the instructions. They are NOT perfectly clear, so make sure you understand the task before you begin. First of all, if you dig the requisite 18" x 24" hole, you'll need 420 lbs of concrete exactly. That's 7 x 60lb. bags. They suggest filling the tube with concrete, but my friend and I have both found that it's not really necessary. If needed, you could always fill it after the install. Adjustment is light and easy due to the springs so even the smaller kids can play. It's got a spring loaded rim that is plenty strong and provides a gym like firmness when the ball hits it. The crystal clear backboard is just icing on the cake for this wonderful product. At this price[...] it's a no brainer!

I bought the goal 4 months ago. I just noticed the backboard is now cracked from the rim up 1/2 way and over to the right edge. The owners manual makes the following statement - " If backboard is damaged in any way prior to or after assembly, call toll-free number for free replacement". I called and got the run around that "after assembly" really meant just a few minutes after you screw it together. I now have to go through the full warranty process to replace it.

Also the anti-skid tape and plastic ground sleeve do not work well in Kansas. I lower the goal to the lowest setting after each use and the wind still works the sleeve loose and the goal is off center the next time. IF YOU LIVE IN A WINDY REGION JUST PLAN TO PUT YOUR GOAL IN CONCRETE AND LEAVE IT FOR THE NEXT HOMEOWNER.

        Comments about Spalding Inground 52-Inch Acrylic Basketball System:

        This is a decent hoop. The instructions as others have mentioned are a little rough. My only complaint with this system is the noise from the adjustment bars when you take shots. I remedied this by wrapping the inner tube in two spots with a thin felt tape which keeps it from banging metal on metal. Other than that it is great so far. Love the inground sleeve for future removal.
