Spalding NBA Polycarbonate Combo Basketball Backboard

nice hoops – Hoops looks great and works well. The only criticism i would like to add is the framework is a little flimsy, after a few months it will rock a little when a ball impacts it!

Backboard cracked after 14 months – Like everyone else, our backboard cracked with fairly minimal use by young kids. We would not have used it much more than an hour per week and after about 14 months it cracked. Purchased from Rebel Sport, neither they or Spalding mention anything about warranty term on their websites. I have lodged a warranty claim with Russell Corp and will see what happens.

Backboard lasted 4 years! – We kept the protective film on it and that may be why it lasted so long but it hasbeen a great product that has been used continually by four children. The only negative was the bar to adjust the height as it snapped off but my monkeys just scale the pole and do it by hand. We will try and replace the backboard now though.

OK – Great product. Would recommend it to anyone. Good to know that there are spare parts available. Customer service from Huffy Sports was exceptional. This product is great. We live near the coast and it has stood the test of time. 3 yrs with wind rain hail and salt. Recently the back board has cracked and have found a spare from… Read more

This is good news as all I have heard is that there is no replacements. My kids love their

basketball system. Being in the heat the base has a crack in it and the water does not

stay in for very long. Not a prob just put some bricks on it and it

is as good as new.

Terrible – I'm going to try to clip on some thick hardboard instead of the perspex, but I'm not hopeful. it's a ring and it's portable as with everyone else, the fact that it was too thin, cracked after about 12 months outside, and can't easily be replaced.

Bad – It was a good looking backboard, but unfortunately the materials used for the backboard were not of a good quality, as the polycarbonate cracked badly (holes the size of a basketball in either side of the ring)within 15 month of purchase, even though it was treated very well by my 15 year old daughter. It was clear and looked good, It cracked with in 15 months of buying the backboard.

Terrible – A very poor product and I certainly would not recommend it to anyone. The product was costly and there appears to be ownership by the company selling such a sub standard product appeared to be a good product Within 18 months the backboard cracked and large holes were made by the basketball hitting the backboard.
