Which basketball goal is right for me?
The type of backboard you have determines whether you need a rear-mount or a front-mount goal. |
|
| Rear Mount | |
|
For 54"W x 35"H rear-mount steel fan-shaped backboards only. Common in noncompetitive play, side courts, and outdoors. |
| Front-Mount | |
|
For all front-mount backboard types, indoors or out. |
| Stationary | |
|
Primarily for noncompetitive play. Stationary rims (often called "fixed" rims) attach directly to the backboard and do not release when pressure is applied. A good choice for younger players who don't have the size or jumping ability to reach the goal. |
| Breakaway | |
|
For main-court backboards and competitive play. Spring-loaded so they bend at an angle (from front to back) when pressure is applied, relieving pressure on the backboard. Positive lock goals have a mechanism to adjust the amount of force required for release. Flex rims do not include this mechanism, so there is no force threshold. |
| Single Rim | |
|
Good quality, often cost effective. The only chioce for indoor competitive play. |
| Double Rim | |
|
Stronger than single rim. For any backboard. Use when player-goal contact is likely and especially for outdoor play. |
