Mega Slam Hoops XL Review

This is my amateur review of the Mega Slam Hoops XL basketball goal. I researched basketball goals for a few months before making this purchase. I was looking for a regulation 72" hoop and this product ultimately won out. It was very difficult discovering which hoop to purchase because good video reviews from customers are few and far between. My goal was to find the best combination of sturdiness and price on the market. After completing my search, I am convinced that I not only found the sturdiest hoop on the market, but it was actually several hundred dollars less expensive than inferior models.

The other risk that I took was that Mega Slam Hoops are only sold direct from the manufacturer and I was not able to try this product before buying it. I had hands on time with other brands such as Goalrilla, Goalsetter and PROformance Hoops. All of the other brands cost more money for their highest end model and used smaller diameter poles and thinner gauge steel. The only reviews that I had to go by were the reviews on Mega Slam's website, which to be fair, are always suspicious to me as a consumer. I may not have found out about this company if it were not for a professional installer named Mike Mehrle. He did a great job installing my hoop, and if you watch some of the newer installation videos on Mega Slam's website he actually shown in the videos. Part of my motivation for making this video is to help this smaller, lesser known company to get some recognition for an outstanding product.

Every aspect of this sale went smoothly. The customer service was top notch. Matt helped me with large and small details to ensure that I would love this product. As soon as the product arrived via UPS Freight I knew right away that this system was being delivered as advertised because every last item appeared extremely high quality in the packaging. After the system was installed, the hoop played as close to a gym quality hoop as I feel as one can purchase for a residential goal. The rim has customizable break-away tension which is factory preset around 165 lbs. The hoop is easy to adjust from 5.5' feet to 10'. My 6 year old has no trouble adjusting it at all. Finally for young hoopers being able to set this hoop all the way down to 5.5' gave him the confidence that he needed to start playing some basketball without major frustration. You will see through research that some goals only can be lowered to 7.5'. I hope this review helps to highlight the best features of the Mega Slam Hoops XL basketball goal.
