H-Frame supported backboards are the strongest. Ironclad backboards use one of two direct rim mounting support concepts. Sixty inch backboards are rectangular in shape like an official 72" backboard.Ī good support system is necessary for the longevity of your basketball goal. Aesthetically, 54" backboards have a square look. Since most bank shots taken on the court are shot at the shooter's square, your backboard size decision should be based more on your personal aesthetic preference than concern over surface area. Do not buy a goal if it does not have the proper size of shooter's square printed on the backboard. The official size for a shooter's square is a 24" wide x 18" tall x 2" wide stripe. Regardless of size, most reputable companies manufacture their backboards with a regulation size shooter’s square (target) printed on the backboard. Keep in mind, it wasn't that long ago that most high schools were still playing games on small, fan-shaped backboards. For a goal to impede your ability to shoot back shots, you would have to go smaller than 48" wide.
In the end, don't get hung up on backboard size. If you are a serious player and have the space, there is simply no substitute for practicing with a regulation hoop. Regulation-sized hoops are well-suited for large driveways and courts. If you have a larger driveway or court, a 60” basketball goal provides a great playing experience while not taking up too much room. This is a great size for those with little space or a smaller budget and is ideal for a 1-car driveway or small court. An in-ground goal is the best choice for any individual wanting the greatest basketball experience at home.īackboards come in many different sizes. This type of installation is both rigid and stable yet provides the flexibility needed to allow you to unbolt the post and relocate the goal if you sell your house and want to move it to a new home. This type of installation is typically accomplished by bolting the post to anchor bolts imbedded in the concrete footing.
BASKETBALL HOOP PORTABLE
The value you receive from an investment in a portable goal is much less than from a heavy duty in-ground system.Ī heavy duty in-ground basketball hoop provides the most stability for players, since the pole is connected to a concrete footing installed in the ground. Due to the lightweight design of most residential portable basketball goals, ball bounce off the backboard suffers greatly and hanging from the rim is strongly discouraged as well. These hoops may be versatile, however, the systems generally sold for residential use are not well-suited for aggressive play or serious ball players.
Portable systems generally have wheels or a base for portability and sometimes offer an adjustability option.
