Q: Should I purchase an "adjustable" or
"fixed-height" basketball system?
A: If the basketball system will be used by
younger players varying in age, an "adjustable" unit is a must. Only an
adjustable goal system will adequately accommodate a variety of age
groups. An adjustable goal system may also be desired by players who
enjoy lowering the basket to dunk. If various goal height adjustments
are not necessary, a "fixed-height" goal is the best choice. Most often
this is the case when players are old enough to compete strictly at the
regulation 10' goal height. However, many of our "fixed-height" systems
can be bolted together at heights lower than 10' if required.
Q: What kind of backboard should I select?
A: We offers a broad selection of
backboards with each pole system. Backboards are available in tempered
glass, clear acrylic, steel, aluminum and fiberglass. Tempered glass is
used for all competition boards like those found in high schools,
colleges and professional arenas across the country. Our Response™
tempered glass provides the best ball rebound off the board. Look for
the  logo
throughout this section to quickly locate packages that include tempered
glass backboards. Acrylic backboards provide the look of glass at a more
economical price level. Steel boards are vandal resistant. Aluminum and
fiberglass backboards have an extra measure of rust resistance.
Fiberglass also provides "glass-like" ball rebound, however, for
authentic gymnasium ball response, no backboard compares to tempered
glass.
Q: What effect does weather have on my
backboard?
A: Almost none. All of our backboards are
designed to be weatherproof and carry full warranty even under the most
extreme weather conditions.
Q: Is any one backboard more durable than
others?
A: Because all of our pole systems
incorporate a unique "direct mount" backboard support design, no matter
what backboard you choose, it is virtually impossible to crack or break
the backboard when it is mounted to our system.
Q: I am purchasing a basketball system for
public use at a school, church parking lot, park, etc. The unit I want
is only listed in the price sheet as a "Residential Basketball Package."
Can I still purchase the unit?
A: Yes. However, our manufacturer will NOT
warranty any basketball package for an institutional application unless
it is listed under the "Institutional Basketball Packages" section of
the price list. The decision to purchase a unit solely listed as
"Residential" for institutional use must be made at the owners
discretion and risk.
Q: Is there a way to lock my adjustable
basketball goal?
A: All of our EZ-Crank goals can be locked
into position by using our optional handle lock.
See
"Accessories" section for details.
Q: Can I relocate the unit if I move from my
home?
A: Yes. All of our EZ-Crank goals come with
a built-in anchor system that allows easy pole removal if you need to
relocate the unit. All other units require our optional ground sleeve to
make the post removable. (Sleeves are available for square posts only)
See
"Accessories" section for details.
