Choosing the right backboard material

Acrylic
  • Provides clean look of glass without the expense.
  • Thicker acrylic equals better play.
  • Heavier framing around board (aluminum or steel) improves rebounding characteristics.
  • The next best alternative to glass backboards.
  • Indoor/outdoor use.
Steel
  • A durable choice, especially for outdoor and side courts.
  • Excellent longevity and strength.
  • Does not have the same playability and rebounding capabilities as other materials.
  • Indoor/outdoor use.
Aluminum
  • Tough, rustproof, and lightest in weight.
  • Does not have the true playability of other material options.
  • A good choice for recreational play.
  • Indoor/outdoor use.
Glass
  • The choice for all high school, college, and pro competition.
  • Superior performer for rebounding and durability.
  • Approximately four times as heavy as acrylic.
  • Mass and material dissipates nearly all vibrations.
  • Indoor/outdoor use.


Choosing the right backboard: Rectangular or fan-shaped?

Rectangular
 
  • Official 72"W x 42"H or 72"W x 48"H sizes.
  • The backboard of choice for high school, college, and pro competition.
  • Provides more room for play and bank shots than fan-shaped backboards.
Fan-Shaped
 
  • A streamline, noncompetition 54"W x 35"-39"H backboard.
  • Often used for side courts and where space is at a premium.
  • Doesn't offer as much space for bank shots as rectangular boards.
