1. We bought these for my son and he loves them. They are made well and he runs twice as fast and jumps twice as high.

3 comments about Spalding Pole Pad for 6 Inch Square Poles.

1. I am having the same experience as previous poster Michelle Sims with the Spalding NBA 68395 Portable Basketball Hoop. In my case the parts for the wheel assembly were of poor quality and broke. These are the same wheel assemblies you find on many toys and this was terrible quality.
   The three pieces of metal pole will not fit together. I have tried just about every type of force and there are still 3" or more that the poles need to move inside one another. Now with some small progress it seems impossible to back them out to try removing paint as Michelle Sims mentioned. The backboard also looks junky at the corners with glue visible. I bought what I thought was the best one but it was a terrible, awful buy.



2. This product shouldn't be sold. Step 1 in the assembly there were problems with the weel attachment. I had to rig something up to make it work. Ok and hour later...step 2 after wondering why the bolt instructed to use in the assemble didn't work, I quit. Then, I was talking about this problem with some parents and one said they had the same hoop and encountered the same problems. The problems didn't end with the instructions having a misprint with the bold. They continued to the supporting bars (the main support that held up the net). They don't fit together....it seems like the engineer for this system forgot to calculate for the paint on the "tight fit" of the support and paint stripper must be used to remove the paint in order for the parts to fit. What a nightmare! I have yet to finish assembling mine. My friend finished the project in 7 hours. I don't have 7 hours to remanufacture this disaster. I tried a jillion times to call tech. support with spalding. Conviently, no matter what hour you call, nobody answers. I'm going to see if I can return this to the store I purchased at.
   Don't waste you money and toture yourself.



3. Pretty easy to assemble and solidly built. It has the kind of heft you don't find on many portables

1. After a lot of time surfing the web for a portable basket ball hoop, I settled on this one. The large 52" backboard is great. When I see neighbors with smaller ones, they look so tiny I'm glad I didn't trade a couple of bucks for the smaller size. The base and adjustable pole seem to be very sturdy. Again, the slightly larger pole diameter is worth the extra $ as it makes a much sturdier looking hoop. Height adjustment is a breeze. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it works great. The only thing I don't like is that I have to stand on the base to do it, but maybe that's just because I'm short. The only other negative to me is that the backboard wobbles quite a bit when the ball hits it, especially towards the sides. I would have thought is should be more rigid.
   As for the value, I was hard-pressed to find this same model cheaper anywhere, and the free super-saver shipping clinched the deal. According to the shipping terms, I fully expected to wait as much as two weeks for this to show up and we had it in 2 DAYS! (ordered Sunday, delivered Tuesday) That was great as a 7-year old waiting for his new toy does not have much patience.
   I couldn't give an accurate time for assembly as we worked on ours here and there when we had time to fit it in. But I can say that the instructions were pretty easy to follow and doing it in bits and pieces didn't bother a thing. I will say though, that you have to take the time to read each step ahead of time at least once or twice through to make sure you don't miss anything. When we got all the way to the end we found that we had installed the pole in the plastic base backwards so that the height adjustment was on the front under the hoop instead of in the back over the base. Luckily we were able to remove the axle from the base with relative ease and just turn the pole around and re-install the wheels and axle. Other than this, our assembly went without a hitch. I also have to agree with the other reviewer who recommends DRY sand. For some reason, the sand we bought had some bags nice and dry and some damp. Even a little dampness causes the sand to clump and makes filling the base very aggravating and time consuming. We did not even consider water as we live in NY and this will be out all winter in sub-freezing temperatures.
   Overall, we have been very happy with our purchase.



2. A very good value. Assembly took some time but everything went together smoothly. All parts are well labled for installation. The backboard shakes a little more than I had hoped, but not too bad. Height adjustment is very easy, my nine year old can easily adjust the height.



3. What an excellent portable basketball hoop. After much research, I chose this model for the size of the backboard and the adjustability. I am NOT disappointed. It took about 1 1/2 hours to put together (one person)although he is like MacGiver. This system is easy to adjust. My 7 yr old son (4ft tall) can adjust it to any height he likes at any time. Filled the base with water and it is moveable. Love the larger backboard as the narrower ones just wouldn't cut it. Definately worth the money!



4. This is an excellent Basketball goal, at a very fair price. Once completed, you have an attractive basketball goal that looks like it means business...and it does. The goal's design is fairly heavy duty, and holds up well to fully grown people hanging briefly from the rim, along with the other expected abuses a hoops goal goes through. It adjusts easily, and is well-balanced, so that two people can relocate the goal without trouble. Filled with 407 pounds of sand (use DRY sand to speed this cumbersome process), the thing stays put once positioned, also. All-in-all, the finished product is very satisfactory, and I expect it to provide many years of healthy fun for my family.
   
   Now for the headaches: Amazon says the goal will be shipped in its original packaging. The packaging is simply not up to the job, and my friendly Fed-Ex delivery person said that items of this size and weight that aren't given extra packaging rarely make it to their destination intact. In my case, the box had split open, and spilled several of the pipes comprising the pole, along with several of the hardware packets. (I notice from the other reviews that missing hardware is a frequesnt complaint.) Luckilly, my Fedex guy was able to gather the spilled parts, and nothing was lost or damaged. While Lifetime offers a toll-free number to obtain missing parts, it would be frustrating to have to wait for an essential part once assembly had commenced.
   
   The other headache was the assembly instructions. Clarity was sacrificed in order to make the instructions as short as possible. Many steps could have been broken down into several sections, and illustrated in more detail. There was no complete parts list, and some of the pictures of parts were inaccurate or mislabled. There also seemed to be no order to the way the hardware was packaged. I consider myself very handy, but I was frustrated with these instructions, and ended up improvising a lot of the assembly. Consider the assembly a MAJOR PROJECT with poor instructions from Lifetime.
   
   In the end, I am quite pleased with my new basketball goal and would reccommend it to others as long as one is aware of the potential headaches associated with shipping and assembly. The price is right, the free shipping very convenient, and the finished product looks GREAT, and plays well.



5. I bought this through Amazon a couple of years ago. Granted we have small kids here but sometimes the neighbors older kids would join us for some B Ball. This thing has held up well and has a bigger more solid backboard than many I've seen for sale at higher prices. After this gruelling Chicago winter and a sure-to-be stifling Chicago summer I will try to report back on its durability as it sits on the driveway year long. It's not recommended to assemble this alone, but I did. The instructions must have made sense or it wouldn't be standing. It took me the better part of a day. For goodness sake get DRY sand to fill this base up to save lots of time. It adjusts up and down for different heights very easily, my 9 year old could do it. After it's base is filled with sand (not water, especially if you live in subfreezing climates) it's so heavy I don't worry about it walking off on it's own, if you know what I mean. You have the option of mounting it on it's portable stand and base or on your garage. You can also install it permanently on the pole into a cement base of your own. The rim is also adjustable (spring loaded) for tension so you can have a firm rim or one that bounces a little if you choose. It looks a lot better than all the equally or higher priced models I see at K-Mart, Toys R Us, Wal-Mart and Target. I've seen models going for well over thousand dollars. This one is doing the job well at a quarter of that price. The backboard is not thick, less than half an inch, but it is more than enough. If I needed another I'd buy this one again. Best for the price I could find and I compared a lot of different models.

1. The product itself is great (it does the job), and is probably stronger than the backboard I attached to it. It arrived promptly, in a sealed box (i.e. no fault of Amazon or SportsRus) but was missing some pieces. I called the manufacturer and they shipped them free of charge and with no hassle. Probably just a fluke.

5 comments about Spalding Never Flat Official Size Basketball.

1. this basketball is awesome. you CAN add air to it. take out the plug with pliers, and pump air into the ball or deflate it.so for the people that think you cant inflate it you have to THINK. your'e not a caveman.



2. Ours went flat within a week of getting it, apparently from a nail hole. I believe a neighborhood prankster took the label "Never Flat" as a challenge. Regardless of that, if it is advertised as "Never Flat," I believe it should be able to withstand a puncture and still hold air. It might be better for driveway courts to remove the words "Never Flat" from the ball.



3. Contrary to what the previous three reviewers have stated you CAN add air to this ball. The ball is guaranteed to stay at the proper pressure for one year. If it leaks during that period return it for a new ball. After a year it may leak like any other ball. Yes there is a cap over the air hole, but that cap can be removed and the ball inflated or deflated. I've been informed that this is actually one of Spalding's more popular basketball for the outdoors.



4. We've all seen the commercial. Featuring an animation demonstrating its "Never-Flat" technology and an appearance by NBA superstar Paul Pierce, this basketball seems legitimate. It's not. There is no airhole. I made a poor decision by buying this basketball before looking for an airhole and I'm pretty sure many people did not know about this ball's fatal flaw either. From now on, I'm going to forget about gimmicks and just buy normal basketballs.



5. Spalding has - with this poorly designed basketball - stooped to an all-time low rung in ineptness of forethought. The air valve is sealed, making it impossible to add air into or to release air out of the ball. And yet ironically (or rather, MORONICALLY), "inflate 7 to 9 lbs." is actually printed on the ball! If i weren't so disappointed i'd be laughing. A 1 star rating is far too high for this.

1. wonderful product - due to high shipping you might consider multiple pairs at a time.



2. Well, I thought I would really like these socks but they are a little too "rough" feeling for my likes. I bought these to wear under my riding boots so the softness of them is a really biggie for me. I use them when it's colder outside but I prefer a sock that's much softer.
