Basketball Equipment Review: Goalrilla GS I Basketball Hoop

The Goalrilla GS I is a great basketball hoop for anyone to have. It features a regulation full size 72” inch tempered glass backboard and a heavy duty pro style flex rim that can handle all the intense things that happen during a basketball game. This basketball hoop has a durable, all steel actuator that can raise and lower the rim from the standard height of 10 feet to 7.5 feet.

No special tools are needed to raise and lower it. This basketball hoop has a 6” x 6” one piece pole that makes it more rigid, less shaky and it gives it more strength. The pole that makes up the Goalrilla GS I has 4 welded gussets that minimizes the pole’s flex at its base, and creates durable anchor attachment that increases it stability. This basketball goal has a anchor bolt system that allows for easy leveling, and it also helps athletes move the hoop to a new location.

The pole is also powder coated in Dupont that is resistant to sunlight and corrosives that would break it down over time. The backboard on this basketball hoop is 72” x 42” and has a 3/8” inch thick tempered glass that makes the rebound consistently lively. The frame is a full perimeter all steel frame that provides maximum rim support, rebound and safety, and it has a radius edge aluminum outer frame for extra safety and it protects players from the glass edges and gives the feel of the standard NBA basketball hoop look.

The arms of the Goalrilla GS I basketball system are wide span board arms that give the backboard rigidity and a consistent rebound. They are welded and mitered extension arms that eliminate wear areas in its arms versus bent arms. They have a 4” overhang that provides increased playing under the board, and the arms are coated in Dacromet that make them resistant to corrosives that would break it down over time in a harsh climate. The rim on this basketball hoop is a breakaway heavy flex rim for pro style play, and the rim is completely powder coated with Nylon Net to make it resistant from corrosives and sunlight. This is a great basketball hoop to get.
