What is the
difference between goals? |
|
| The differences
between the goals are in pole size, pole design,
backboard size, height adjustability, and warranties.
Please refer to the comparison chart for specific
details. |
| |
|
How are
Goalsetter Systems anchored into the ground? |
|
|
Unlike many basketball
goals, the Goalsetter System does not use a
pole-in-the-ground method or "J" bolts assembly. Each
Goalsetter System is anchored using our patented
ground anchor hinge system. First, the 4' ground
anchor is placed in a 4' deep hole (18" diameter) and
secured using QuickCrete. When dry, the hinge system
allows complete assembly of the Goalsetter goal before
it is raised upright and bolted to the ground anchor. |

What types
of backboards are available? Which type do I need? |
|
Acrylic
backboards are most commonly used in
residential settings. This board is clear, giving the
appearance of glass. Next to glass, this board has the
best ball response. It carries a 10-year warranty.
Polycarbonate
boards are most often the choice of parks,
playgrounds, schools and other institutional settings
where purposeful vandalism may occur. This board is
clear and carries a lifetime warranty.
Glass
backboards are for the customer who desires the same
ball response found in an indoor gymnasium competition
setting. |
|
Steel
backboards are most often the choice of schools, parks
and other institutional settings where purposeful
vandalism may occur. |
|
|
|
Can I
choose a glass backboard for my goal? |
|
|
Yes, each Signature
Series goal has a glass backboard option that carries
a Lifetime warranty. |
|
|
|
What type
of rim should I order? |
|
Single Ring Static:
This is the basic single ring rim. It is static and
does not give.
Double Ring Static: This rim is the strongest
available and is the choice of many schools, parks and
other institutional customers. This rim will not give
and carries an unconditional lifetime warranty.
Heavy Duty Reflex: This is the rim most
commonly chosen by our residential customers. This is
a break-away style rim and is more than sufficient for
most residential play.
Bully Break-Away: This rim is a break-away
style rim. It will bend at 30 lbs. and is recommended
for customers who want the rim to give when children
dunk. It carries a 5-year warranty.
Prep Break-Away: This is a competition
break-away rim. It will bend at 150-180 lbs. on a
spring. This rim carries a 5-year warranty.
Note: All of these are made to dunk on. They are
mounted to a steel plate, not to the backboard itself. |

|
|
Can I take
my Goalsetter System with me when I move? |
|
|
Yes you can! All
Goalsetter Systems have a universal ground anchor.
When you move, you simply take the system off of the
existing ground anchor and purchase only a new anchor
to install at your new home. |
|
|
|
Should I
install the goal myself or have it installed by a
professional?
|
|
|
This decision is up to
you! The Installation and Assembly of the Goalsetter
goal can be accomplished by two or three people
without the use of ladders or scaffold. The patented
ground anchor hinge system allows complete assembly of
the Goalsetter goal before it is raised upright. The
toughest task during installation of a Goalsetter goal
is digging the hole. Each goal features our patented
ground anchor. First, a four-foot deep hole (18 inch
diameter) must be dug where you would like your
basketball goal located. After placing your ground
anchor into the hole, fill it with QuickCrete (10-12
bags). When the cement is completely dry (usually two
days is sufficient), the pole structure, backboard and
rim can be assembled and raised upright. Most of our
dealers also offer installation as an option for an
additional fee. |

Do I need
backboard edge and pole padding? |
|
|
Contact is more likely
with height-adjustable basketball systems. Padding
will provide protection when your backyard game gets
rough. |
|
|
|
Do you have
a portable goal for home use? |
|
|
Yes. Goalsetter has
three to choose from; the GS1000, GS2000 and the
GS3000. Each is designed to meet the demands of
today's home court play. Easily adjustable and
collapsible, each GS portable is great when homeowner
covenants restrict in-ground units! |

What is the
Basketball Court Stencil Kit and how does it work? |
|
|
The Basketball Court
Stencil is a kit that allows you to easily create
regulation basketball court markings on your playing
surface. A free-throw line, lane markings and a
3-point line can be easily marked without using
complicated measuring and guesswork. The kit includes
six marked pattern sheets that are easily spread
across the surface, a paint roller, and complete
instructions. All you need is 1 quart of paint (light
color on asphalt or dark color on concrete), a pan for
paint, 2" masking tape, string (10 feet) and a nail or
pen. |
