Basketball Goal - A Guide on Basketball Goals

admin — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 18:18:59 +0000

The basketball goal is where all the action takes place. Shooting, scoring, and slam dunks all revolve around the goal. The basketball goal consists of the metal rim with an attached net. To the untrained eye, all basketball goals may look alike but that is not the case. There are many goals to choose from and each has its own unique purpose.

One type of basketball goal is a flex rim. A flex rim is important for intense regular play. It gives a little when pressure is applied. Most flex rim basketball goals can handle 200 pounds of pressure or more. If slam dunks will be attempted, this is the goal you need.

A step up from a flex rim is a competition style breakaway basketball goal. This goal is used by the NCAA and the NBA. Breakaway goals are flex rims that bend all the way down when too much pressure is applied. It will actually break away from the backboard. This is intended to protect the backboard from shattering.

If you are looking for a basketball goal that won’t be used for intense play, a fixed rim is a good choice. A fixed rim stays put. It does not have the flexibility that a flex rim does. A fixed rim is ideal for children or if your goal will mainly be used for shooting practice.

Each of these types of goals comes in heavy duty stainless steel. This gives the durability needed to ensure that your basketball hoop will last for years to come. To make sure the net stays in place, the best choice is a continuous positive lock mechanism within the rim. This mechanism allows the net to stay firmly in place within the rim itself.

Then choose your provider carefully. I recommend finding a site like www.TopHoops.com that offers a wide variety of hoops from quality manufacturers and top of the line warrantees. This is an investment in your game, and you should really get value for your money.

I have a standing/spring load basketball goal that has a hole in the base. What can I use to patch the hole?

admin — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 15:33:59 +0000

The basketball goal’s base can be filled with sand or water. We have opted to use water but the hole continue to drain out when we put it away for the evening. Each time we fill it with water and it drains out the hole become a little worse. We haven’t had it for long and this was the last one of its kind that we liked. HELP
There is some stuff called aqua mend, it’s like a putty, hardens up, and is waterproof. Home Depot carries it, and it’s around the caulk aisle. I used it on a fishpond and it still works. Good luck.
