3 comments about Spalding 8352S Back Atcha Ball Return.

1. First Impression: I was surprised to find it was actually a composite plastic. It looked kind of flimsy, and came in minimal packaging. I was also disappointed that it didn't come in any other color except this flash-ugly yellow.
   
   Usage: Surprise! It actually worked, for the most part. The ball usually does return to me when I shoot head-on towards the basket (AKA perpendicular to the backboard), but keep in mind it always returns the ball perpendicularly, so if you're shooting from the corner, it's not about to turn around and return the ball there; it returns it in the direction of the free throw line). I still found myself having to go get the ball or move substantially to get the ball for about 5-10% of the time, but it beats having to run after the ball ALL the time (by FAR, believe me; I used to take hundreds of shots with 1 ball, and only having to run to get the ball 10% of the time is MUCH better than 100%). Still, the fact that it does not return it 100% of the time takes off 1 star from the rating.
   
   Product Life: A few months now, still no hiccups. I have not even ever had to reposition it, and it's seen a bit of nasty weather. Perhaps the composite plastic wasn't so bad; no rust to worry about.
   
   Important Point: I had recommended this to a friend, and we decided to try mine on his hoop. Good thing we did before buying him one, as this did NOT fit his hoop. This is intended for thin hoops that are circular all the way around and have very little attachment to the backboard. The NICE hoops that allow dunking because they are reinforced will NOT be compatible with this, as this is designed to hang from the back of the rim, ON THE RIM. It also becomes a problem if you have a long net, or a chain net. I take off another star from the rating because of this, and (at least at the time I bought the product and reviewed it), the seller did not specify anything about compatibility.
   
   Overall: A great product when it works. It may seem disappointing when you first look at it, but it does the job. But it doesn't do it perfectly, even though it comes close (90%). Some convenience stores also carry it, so you may want to buy it from there so that it's easy to return, should it not be compatible with your basketball rim.



2. Ive seen couple of reviews about ppl complaining how this material should be metal and not plastic. but i think this product is good because it "IS" plastic. the material is very durable and flexible to bounce the ball back. The other review says that it doenst bounce the ball back to the same place, that might be a bit of a problme for some ppl because this product does gives your some random bounce back. However i personally like it this way so i can move a bit more and relocate and shoot at different angles randomly. Cheap and easy to install on and off anytime. A lot of the times after i scored a shot, the ball would fall and hit the bottome of the bball stand and bounce away FAR. and i had to be very careful so it woudl not hit some parked cars in the neighborhood. With this product, it really solved all the problmes. I stopped excercising for a while because of busy college, so i eventually gave mine ot my cousin. but now i feel like excercising again, so im ordering another one. I HIGHLY RECOMMAND THIS PRODUCT.



3. It definitely helps and has cut down on our ball chasing time, but it doesn't "return" as well as a bigger one we've used and if the angle isn't right, it doesn't work. For the price, its still worth it.

1. The basketball hoop is pretty good for the price that I paid. My kids are young so it will do for now.
   It is an excellent hoop to buy for young kids (up to 10-12 years old).
   The system is not very easy to put together, and the directions are very confusing. The two main operational problems are that it is not very easy to adjust, and the hoop seems to "suck" the ball in once you hit the back board. My kids are in for a big surprise if they start playing on a "real" hoop. Overall though I would say that it's worth the money for a new hoop. If I had a truck though I would buy a used hoop for much less. I found very nice hoops on yard sales but I could not figure out a way to transport it to my house.



2. Great item. I bought this court for my nine year old. He enjoys hours a day shooting hoops! The portable court is sturdy and slides with wheels for easy transport. My husband also says that it was very easy to assemble. I would definitely recommend this court.



3. This is a great hoop for the money. It arrived within days via free shipping and was a breeze to set up. I got this for my son for his birthday and he is very happy with it.



4. Hoop was easy for 2 people to set up. Seems stable and kids love it! Rim has nice feel and resolve. Would buy again!



5. The assembly took 2 adults and about 2 hours, but wasn't extremely difficult for someone fairly handy. Kids started playing with it right away. We live in Arizona so our front yard is mostly gravel. We set the base on the gravel with the front edge (where the pole comes down) onto the driveway. This leaves us plenty of room to get the cars in and out of the driveway. I'm not sure how it would handle on grass. It seems sturdy, but we've only had it a few weeks. The pole feels solid-the box the system was shipped in weighed close to 60 lbs.! If you get free shipping I'd definitely recommend it.

1. Product is all that was expected from Under Armour - Good! Also, fast shipping.



2. I was thrilled with the service and speedy delivery. I purchased this pretty piece for my sister-in-law for Christmas and she loved it. She's a runner and swears that only Under Armour keeps her toasty warm during her runs in our frosty Michigan winter weather. Thank you so much. It was a pleasure doing business with you.

3. This merchant was absolutely great... very pleased (surprised) with how quickly my item was received. I went to three different stores to get this top, but they were all out! So, I was very excited to get free shipping and for the same price as in the store!



4. I like underarmour products, this one is the most popular and it really helps to keep you warm in cold weather. It's pretty good but don't think it is going to keep you warm on a windy day at 32 degrees. Since it's made for sports, as long as you are moving or running, you should be fine. The only thing I don't like is the price. It is kindda expensive but I guess it is worth it.



5. My son needed this in a hurry because his team was in the regions games and the weather changed quickly. He was warm and did not freeze with this cold gear. It was also the perfect color to match his uniform.

1. I bought this ball for my dad and he loves it. I like the Wilson Soultion much better, though.



2. I just got this ball over Thanksgiving break. It still has plenty of hours left before it's broken in, but right away it feels great to shoot with this ball. Most people agree when they play with my ball.



3. thats what i said so hear it right for realz



4. First off, this is not the tackiest, softest basketball out there. It is a real basketball. It feels larger, harder, and heavier than most other basketballs that are popular now for indoor play. All the microfiber basketballs that have come out that allow everybody to palm the ball like MJ are like toys compared to this. Consequently, many people who are used to the microfiber basketballs hate these. But, to me at least, these are what basketballs are supposed to be. They feel right, bounce right, and rebound like a basketball should. Highly recommended.



5. I have shot hoops with this ball for almost 2.5 months now hoping it will break in and gets better feel & grip. So far, it is quite disappointing.
   
   It actually feels cheaper than b-balls that cost cheaper.
   Does anyone have the same problem as I do??
   If so, please let me know.
   
   I thought I would get a very quality basketball since I spent $100 for this.
   Disappointed

1. I only wish they had a 9" inseam. They tend to ride up quite a bit. Other than that they are excellent for working out. They keep you cool.

1. After realizing that I hardly did any physical activities, I decided that I needed to workout. Running seemed like the best thing to do since I use to run back in the day. Now that I've put on some weight and became out of shape, running became more painful. Painful in that my thighs would rub against each other. I was faced with a decision. Either I stop running, or run for a shorter period of time. Final decision, I went with neither. This is where these came into play and saved the day.
   
   They are very comfortable and stretch very well, provided that you don't get a size that's too small for you. In short, I now have other things to worry about when I run. I've also have a Body Glide for chafing, but I don't use it since I find these to be much, more effective. Another plus is that they sure give you that athletic look/feel.

1. We bought this back in March of 07-- I know that because my Amazon account history alerted me to the fact that I have already purchased this item, prompting me for this review. Now it's March of 08 and the net has completely disintegrated, it tore right off the hoop from just a few shots. I guess it got weak from winter weather. So be warned that this is not an all-weather item. But nonetheless I give it 3 stars because you can't beat the price-- you get what you pay for, which in this case is a one-year net.



2. Easy to put up and durable. What more can you ask for in a basketball net? Plus, it was very inexpensive.
