Spalding In-Ground Basketball System with Glass Backboard – 60″

May 26, 2013 By Scott Gump

Pros

  • Price
  • Spalding
  • Assembly

Cons

  • Not the best adjustable crank system. You might not want to move it up and down like a teeter totter.

Overall Rating


The Spalding In Ground basketball system with 60″ backboard is described as “The best system for the price.” At just over $500, it really gives you a lot. 60″ Tempered glass backboard for less than $600? That is a sick deal. Ok, here is the rundown. First of all installation is easy, compared to other similar hoops. Secondly, the Spalding looks great in your backyard. The Tempered glass backboard and Spalding “pro style” rim will allow for rough play. The adjustable height system should be improved, but is not a problem if you plan on leaving the hoop at a fixed height of play.

What To Like

  • Glass Backboard: Can’t beat having a tempered glass backboard for less than $600 dollars.
  • Spalding Rim: I personally love playing on Spalding rims. It is a shooter friendly rim.
  • Price: All day long on this hoop with this price. What you are getting for less than $600 should be a misdemeanor.
  • Fantastic Spalding Customer Service You won’t be left out on an island if something goes wrong.

What Not To Like

  • Pole Not a great constructed pole. To be honest, the adjustment mechanism should be changed. I prefer the Mammoth or the Goalsetter for adjusting the hoop height.

lding Pole Pad

For my money and my piece of mind, I’m going to combine this basketball hoop order with a Spalding Pole pad.  Material is fine, protection is locked on and it looks good.

Buy the Spalding Pole Pad for close to $50.00 on Amazon

Summary

Let us be serious for a second. If you are looking for a great hoop, that will look great and play well, but don’t want to spend much over $500, than you can just stop looking. You will get the Spalding name and look with 60″ tempered glass backboard. Playability is great. If you can afford more, but still don’t want to break the bank, I would say go with this Goalrilla Model.
