Why We Chose the Goalrilla Basketball Hoop

/

Goalrilla Basketball is sponsoring this post, but all opinions are 100% my own.

We decided to give our son a basketball court for his birthday this year. He loves basketball and we don’t have a driveway space so he often shoots baskets at my parents’ house. 

About five years ago, we gave my dad a basketball hoop so everyone could play basketball together. I am not going to share a picture of this budget hoop we bought, but within five years, the headboard is cracked and the post is showing signs of wear.

My husband and I knew we wanted to invest in a hoop that would last through our kids growing up and hopefully beyond that. We did a LOT of research into hoops. My son is pretty big for his age and I didn’t want the hoop to fall apart within a few years.

Here are a few reasons we went with the Goalrilla FT60…(60 by the way is the headboard size and it is a nice mid-size backboard - not like the pros, but hopefully will help minimize the balls landing in neighbors’ yard!)

Why we chose Goalrilla:

  • The biggest selling feature for us, was Goalrilla makes a 5”x5” square post that is proven to handle wear and tear much better than smaller posts. 

  • Lots of other brands’ post shake when the ball hits the hoop and the larger square post alleviates the shaking

  • Adjusting the height is easy with the one-piece (and great for all ages to use!)

  • The hoop is an inground system so it’s more stable, but it still can be moved in the future if we move.

When you buy a FT series Basketball Goal, use code FTSERIESFREE to get a free indoor/outdoor basketball with your purchase. Make sure you add the basketball to your cart.

Our neighbors had put a basketball court in their yard in the 90’s and said, this was the best investment we made in our home because our kids’ and their friends enjoyed it so much. I hope this will be a place our kids’ and friends’ can gather for many years to come.
