Title: Spalding In-Ground Basketball System
Product review: To be honest, I am not very impressed with this product. I wanted to make sure the pole and backboard were level and straight so I hired someone to set the sleeve for the pole. We followed the instructions precisely and got the project done over a three-day weekend. Unfortunately, I measured the rim and it is only 9' 9" which is pretty sad. The top of the sleeve is exactly at ground level so there is either a flaw in the hydraulic system or in the instructions. Secondly, the crank system for this backboard is pretty much trash. It is very difficult to crank up and down and I snapped 3 bolts before buying a grade 8 bolt from a hardware store. If I had to purchase a backboard again I would most definitely not purchase this one.
