11 best portable basketball backboard

Product description

The Silverback NXT is pushing the envelope for portable basketball hoops. The advanced technology and strategic engineering of this goal makes for faster assembly, improved rebound, superior strength, unmatched stability, and effortless transportability. Compare the features of the Silverback NXT to other portable goals on the market, and you will see why this hoop is the next big thing in portable basketball hoops. - Stabili-Frame – The Silverback NXT features Stabili-Frame technology, creating unmatched stability for increased playability and added safety. The slanted pole design was engineered to offer even weight distribution across the entire base. Unlike competitor goals, the pole directly connects to the steel frame below the base, increasing the integrity of the structure. Compare to most portable hoops that utilize the blow molded base as a support structure – which is typically the first piece that fails. The shape of the base and the weighted ballast wheels create an optimal center of gravity, ensuring your goal will stay upright. Infinity Edge Backboard - Unlike traditional backboards that are framed by a plastic or metal edge, the Silverback NXT features an Infinity Edge Backboard with edges that wrap around to the back of the backboard as one continuous material. This design not only creates the modern, clean look of the hoop, but, more importantly, gives the backboard unmatched strength – greatly reducing “dead" spots in the backboard that are common among portable hoops. This technique, folds the edges of the material backward, creating a stronger face for superior rebound. Ergo-Move - The sloped base design on the Silverback NXT creates a completely unique weight distribution that allows the goal to be moved by two people with much greater ease than traditional portable basketball goals. This design enables the goal to be tilted backward onto its large weighted wheels, relieving much of the weight that a person must support, similar to the engineering of a wheelbarrow. The hoop is then easily rolled to its new location while the rear kickstand prevents the goal from tipping over. Quick-Play - No one likes long assembly projects, so the Silverback NXT was designed to make assembly as simple as possible. The NXT comes partially assembled with attached hardware, so you simply attach the major pieces using only a few required tools. The NXT allows you to assemble your goal in approximately 90 minutes, so you can start playing.

• ULTIMATE STRENGTH AND STABILITY - Stabili-Frame steel-on-steel connection between steel chassis and main pole
• INCREASED REBOUND - Infinity Edge Backboard that folds backward for increased rigidity
• EASILY MOVE THE GOAL - ErgoMove wheel-barrow design for an easy lift-and-roll action
• ULTRA-FAST ASSEMBLY - Assembles in 90-minutes or less with Quick-Play design and preassembled parts
• HEIGHT-ADJUSTABLE - 7.5’ to 10' height adjustability (in 6" increments) and 26" overhang under the goal

User questions & answers

Question:	So is the backboard polycarbonate or Acrylic? Or something else
Answer:	Hi there, Thank you for contacting us! The NXT 54" Backboard is made of polycarbonate. If you need more information please reach out to us at [email protected] Kind regards, Escalade Sports
Question:	Is the backboard shatterproof
Answer:	This backboard is made of a polycarbonate material and does not shatter like glass.If you have any other questions, please reach out to [email protected] you
Question:	Can you dunk on this setup
Answer:	These can be lightly dunked on but are not meant to be hung on or dunked hard on. They are not as good for dunking as the in ground systems are. If you have any more questions, please reach out to [email protected] You
Question:	How easy is it to drain the water? Have to tip the whole sideways or backwards to do it
Answer:	Not easy, but not hard. You'd think they would have a drain on the bottom (the piece is called "ballast"). So you need to tip it on the side or forward. They have a kickstand to make it easier. With a helper, it shouldn't be difficult. But honestly, none of these nets are truly meant to be moved around a lot, or drained with ease, that I saw. They're all going to need to be weighed down somehow. If quick drainage is your biggest concern, you should look at other hoops. Maybe there's one that has a bottom drain.

The Lifetime 1221 Pro Court Adjustable Portable Basketball Hoop with 44 Inch Impact Backboard is perfect for recreational home use. The Lifetime 1221 portable basketball system features a 44 inch Polyethylene backboard, a classic basketball rim and a 27 gallon Pro Court base. The telescoping post allows you to adjust the basketball goal from 7.5-10 feet in 6 inch increments, so that players of any age can enjoy the game at their level.

Hone your jump shot in your spare moments or perform a backyard dunking drill with this Lifetime portable basketball system. Unlike in-ground basketball hoops--which are typically anchored in concrete--this portable hoop rolls on wheels, letting you position the basket support in your desired location, from the back patio to the middle of the cul-de-sac. All you have to do is fill the 27-gallon base with water or sand and play.

The Lifetime hoop adjusts from 7.5 to 10 feet in 6-inch increments.

Lifetime knows that younger players aren't always ready for a 10-foot hoop, which is why the basket boasts a height-adjustment mechanism. The telescoping mechanism adjusts from 7.5 to 10 feet in 6-inch increments--no tools required--letting players of all ages and skill levels enjoy the game on their own terms. Aspiring dunkers can also gradually raise the basket 6 inches at a time as their vertical improves, although the 18-inch solid steel rim is not a breakaway rim. The black rim is instead extremely stable, with 1/2-inch steel braces, welded steel net hooks, and a 50-gram net.

And players needn't worry about the 44-inch backboard wearing dramatically over time thanks to the UV-protected, high-density polyethylene construction. This sturdy plastic material helps the board resist chipping and cracking while protecting the graphics from fading. Also equipped with a black, powder-coated, three-piece pole, the Lifetime system carries a five-year warranty.

About Lifetime

In the beginning, all the founder of Lifetime Products wanted was a sturdier basketball pole for his backyard. With this in mind, he found and purchased a piece of heavy-duty used pipe, a sheet of plywood, and a basketball rim. The resulting backyard basketball standard functioned perfectly in his backyard. Seeing the potential of his hoop, he placed an ad in the local free classified newspaper and made his first sale. The rest--as they say--is history. He created the American PlayWorld Company in 1973, based out of his garage in Riverdale, Utah. After expanding into several other types of playground equipment, he eventually moved to a bigger location in South Ogden, Utah. Several years later, the company transformed the basketball industry by introducing the Quick Adjust basketball pole, the first complete basketball system you could raise and lower with a broomstick. In 1986, American PlayWorld created Lifetime Products, a separate company intended to concentrate specifically on manufacturing adjustable basketball systems. In the ensuing years, the company has grown from having 18 employees in a 32,000-square-foot space in half a warehouse to more than 1,400 employees and 2.6 million square feet over 23 separate buildings.

User questions & answers

Question:	My driveway has a typical slope toward the street. Would that cause the unit to have a foward tilt and be prone to flip over
Answer:	Yes, depending upon the degree of the slope and how hard the wind blows. If you decide to go ahead, I would completely fill the base with water and a few gallons of antifreeze and then place sandbags (four 50 pound bags) on the rear end of the base or I would anchor the pole or backboard to something substantial.
Question:	Is there a warranty
Answer:	It's a limited warranty I believe for 90 days on parts. I've had it for two years and it's still mint!!
Question:	Can this be assembled without the middle pole (of the three connecting poles that make up the center beam) -- to make it shorter
Answer:	No
Question:	Does this come with the newer hybrid base
Answer:	did you ever get an answer ? I'm looking to purchase but picture and info shows regular base not hybrid ??

User questions & answers

Question:	How well does it cope with winds? Especially in the midwest
Answer:	I am not sure on the exact weight. You can move it yourself to position on lift. Two people with the drywall lift like I described was a pretty sure bet.
Question:	What are the exact dimensions of the backboard? thank you
Answer:	It has the anchor system.
Question:	is this a good hoop to practice with for a 6' 5" junior who plays center in high school
Answer:	Mine came with 4 J bolts that you embed in the concrete footing. When the footing is cured, you can use the included nuts to attach the base of the post to the ends of the bolts that are sticking out of the footing. The vertical bolts are arranged in a square pattern to match up with the notches on the horizontal base of the post.The backboard and post are heavy when assembled, so plan on needing a few guys to move it. You'd need to buy another set of four bolts for the new house if you were to move it and have them spaced properly to hold down the base of the post.
Question:	How much does it shake after you dunk and could you hang on the rim
Answer:	Hey Mark. I ordered the install from Amazon after I bought the Silverback 60" In-Ground. I bought it for $199. The install company never called me to schedule an install! I waited and waited! Finally, someone from Amazon calls me and says that they are taking this company off the list for providing installs! He recommended that I cancel this order and pick another installer and he provided a link to another installer and said it was cheaper! The new link listed a company that wanted to charge me $358! This is not cheaper! in fact, it was $158 more! I sent a text to Amazon about this over 10 days ago. I told them I felt like I was taken advantage of! Amazon never even bothered to reply to my e-mail! I spend thousands on Amazon and they really screwed me on this purchase! A classic bait and switch! Don't do it man! Stay away from them. Henry
