Indoor basketball hoop systems vary quite a bit in quality, features and price. Let’s begin our review by discussing the different components of an indoor basketball hoop system.
The Indoor basketball Hoop Base
The base of an indoor basketball hoop tells the experienced gym manager all they need to know about a hoop system. The size, weight, strength and maneuverability each play an important role in determining which will best suit their need. Of course, as each of these measuring points increase, the price increases along with it. The weight of all bases are heavy enough to withstand having the finest of athletes dunk the ball and hang on the rim without fear that the unit will come crashing down around them, but the heavier the base, the better the hoop. Bases range in weight so that units can be truly portable (for outdoor use) and for high level interior play.
Ease of movement plays a large role in an indoor basketball hoop system. The heavier the units are the easier they need to be able to move around without causing injury to the people moving it. Urethane wheels are important with high end bearings to help with such moves.
The size of the unit is usually proportional to the weight in order to house the extra weight. Typical high end indoor basketball hoop systems might have as much as 1500 pounds tucked into the base. Those types of bases tend to be larger and less easy to move once installed. Several have clamps that require them to be clamped to a fixed point on the floor to be sure they do not move during play.
The strength of any indoor basketball hoop is always strong enough to hold the heaviest of players assaulting the unit with a two handed flying dunk, so most managers like the look of the more sturdy hoops that are seen in large scale arenas. In those situations they tend to like quality, quality and more quality.
Indoor Basketball Hoop Backboards
Like most hoop systems, the type of backboards that can be placed on an indoor basketball hoop system ranges from small and inexpensive to professional grade, with several stops in between the two ends. Most backboards are made to fit a particular type of bracket set and most bracket sets can be adjusted to fit any type of mounting on an indoor basketball hoop system. Most gym managers prefer the look and feel of the higher quality, professional grade backboard systems that are 36 inches high by 60 inches across.
Indoor Basketball Hoop Rims
The choice of all indoor basketball hoop systems is breakaway rims that will give when a player hangs on the rim. This not only helps to prevent injury from the immediate play, it serves to defuse the weight from the athlete hanging on the rim from the base unit, making the entire indoor basketball hoop system more stable in the process.
Indoor Basketball Hoop Padding
The padding around an indoor basketball hoop serves to protect the athlete and the unit from hard bumps and knocks. Padding can be matched to any team color patterns and is often a giveaway as part of the purchase of a unit. Padding should cover the front of the unit, the sides and the top of the base. In short, any location that might come in contact with a player should be properly padded on the unit.
Indoor Basketball Hoop Shipping and Handling Fees
Because of their weight, most units are shipped via regular freight lines and not UPS or Fedex. Companies do this to save money on shipping and because the time difference is simply not that great from an end user’s perspective. A customer might wait a day or two longer when using regular freight services but the reduction in cost will more than offset the time required for the unit to arrive.
