I think this is a new product and similar products sell for $300-$500 elsewhere. Plus somehow this bulky product qualifies for free shipping, saving you $50+! Was looking at the $89 version but I think this one is worth the extra dollars given the extra features and free shipping!

Shoot like a pro! This portable basketball system with adjustable height is ideal for shooting practice among children and adults alike.

    What are the features that justify the extra $100? Is it that the height can be adjusted quickly and easily?

    I was previously planning to buy the $89 version later this month.

      Yeah I reckon the height/ratchet system makes it more expensive. (also making it 15kg heavier??)
      Also, the cheaper version's backboard seems smaller.

      Reverse layups are tricky on this setup without taking yourself out on the post.

      Yes, the quick height adjustment is a great feature if you have small and big kids wanting different heights. Also, I think it has a spring-loaded ring. The $189 looks more sturdy and has wheels as well though yes, it’s also heavier so it’ll depend on your preference.

        The $89 one has wheels.

        Except our 2 year old Spalding has a perfect hole in the backboard, found the disk sitting on the ground. Our lads have fixed with duct tape.

        Any outdoor product can fail, even the expensive ones…

      We bought the $89 one early 2021 (for $69 from memory) and it's finally almost dead. For the money it's been surprisingly good!
      - It's location gets all-day sun and the backboard faded (no big deal).
      - The net is rubbish and fell off after about 6 weeks.
      - The chain net we replaced it with has been slowly pulling the retaining bits off the ring and there's only 5 left but the ring itself is still level.
      - The base started leaking water after about 12 months so we filled it with sand instead.
      - It does move/wobble a bit in the wind and has slightly bent the base support arms which means we've got a paver under one side to level it out.
      EDIT
      - Changing height on the $89 version isn't too hard, just fiddly unless you have another person to help.

    Would be pretty hesitant to spend any more than $20 on an Anko product.

    In the market for one of these and everyone seems to recommend the Spalding ones…. but I'm just not sure.

    No reviews and no info elsewhere online. Anyone got one or is this a new range?

    • ozbmm on 05/10/2023 - 17:33

      My friend has the Spalding one and it seems good though it’s almost $500 at Rebel. Rebel had 20% off plus 10% cash back last night but it was still almost double the price of this one here.

      • nsavi on 05/10/2023 - 18:45

        RRP $799
        The 2 deals would have brought it to like $600

        • ozbmm on 05/10/2023 - 21:55

          Was referring to this $499 one

          • grrrr on 08/10/2023 - 09:41

            @ozbmm: the backboard on this one should be more like 52" with the width being 110cm

            • ozbmm on 08/10/2023 - 14:54

              @grrrr: I don’t think they do it like TVs (diagonally). 110cm will be just over 43”.

              • grrrr on 10/10/2023 - 00:35

                @ozbmm: The 44" and 52" Spalding backboards on Rebels site are measured diagonally.

                  @grrrr: This 52” Spalding one has backboard measuring 132x81cm so the one I posted here is definitely not 52” with the width just measuring 110cm ;-)

                    @ozbmm: Hahahaha.

                    The Spalding site you directly linked states:

                    "The backboard size is measured from the left to the right side of the board, ranging from 44" to 72" (107cm to 183cm). Spalding ranges boards in the following sizes: …"

                    Yet the Rebel site has "Features … Board size: 52" (132cm) diagonally".

                    Classic Rebel.

                    Does Rebel have incorrect product info, or are they selling smaller boards with bigger numbers?

    • pformag on 06/10/2023 - 12:48

      If its for your kids to try out, then spending $89 or $189 is worth the risk. If they love shooting hoops then upgrade, otherwise, you will just waste money.

          Wheels?

          When JV said he'd prefer a 10 ft one, I didn't realise he was talking about a basketball hoop. I was more worried about what his "deck" may damage!

          Forgiveness please…

    Definitely interested as I've promised my kids a portable hoop for xmas. As much as I'd prefer a sturdier spalding one, not sure if it's worth double the price considering my kids are young (5 + 8) and probably won't notice any difference…

    • ozbmm on 05/10/2023 - 17:39

        I have the $89, perfectly fine for kids. Will upgrade to this once the $89 rusts through.

        The issue with this is getting it home. It's much easier to transport a box than a 10foot poll, plus this deal includes delivery. I've tried second hand too and it wasn't worth the effort once I started to load up. I realised the base leaked from to a large crack and it's just not easily disassembled, so I quit and just bought new. As a first system for kids to last 3 or so years this seems a solid deal.

          remember well spending hours one xmas eve assembling one of these damn things for my sister in law - what a pain it was spending hours out in the dark yard trying to get it erected by torchlight. If you aren't that handy (I'm certainly not) then be prepared.

        • chris666 on 06/10/2023 - 17:34

          Fair I just pulled the backboard off both times and had no issues at all guess you had some bad luck

  • Hbar on 05/10/2023 - 18:37

    I have this exact hoop. It's good quality for the price imo. Sturdy and great for practice shooting if you got the space.

    • nsavi on 05/10/2023 - 18:51

      Is the backboard strong ?

      • SonOfATightASS on 06/10/2023 - 23:38

        It's polycarbonate which is durable and no different to what Spalding sell at 2 to 3 times the price. It won't feel the same as shooting off a proper glass board at your local recreational centre, if you want that you have to cough up significantly more coin.
        This board won't sound solid when hit by a ball but won't break if treated well.

    Please don’t buy these, invest in a well grounded(concrete) basketball post, at least in VIC

    My neighborhood have several of these flying around and resulting in safety risk for drivers and home owners, during the crazy VIC winds(like yesterday)

    • AaronR on 05/10/2023 - 20:30

      With a filled base these things would weigh more than a goat.

      Multiple instances of them flying at cars in your single neighbourhood? Pretty wild.

      • [Deactivated] on 05/10/2023 - 20:54

        I thought the exaggeration was obvious xd , it isn’t that bad they fly 10ft high/

        but yes they do travel across from peoples driveway to the streets

        I guess a lot of physics can explain how such heavy items can move 10-20ft across- center of gravity, the reduction in friction during heavy rains, etc etc

        • UncleRico on 05/10/2023 - 21:02

          I’d have thought a more realistic driving hazard would be the possibility of driving up your driveway with the honest intention of parking your car in your garage behind a roller door, before being stuck by a concreted basketball pole blocking the entry.

          I’ve only got a small 2.7m hoop with half sized plastic water-filled base, and it’s never moved an inch, including in the cyclonic storms and floods which hit Western Sydney twice last year.

    • SonOfATightASS on 06/10/2023 - 23:45

      Most people use these for driveways and the smart ones lower them on windy days. They serve a purpose and suit those that don't want a permanent fixture. On my property it is not viable to concrete a post in to a permanent location and a solution like this works well as I can move the system to the available space when required. Don't get me wrong, many would love a full half court with a concreted in post but that's just not practical for most.
