Lifetime 1269 Pro Court Portable basketball system 44 in fusion

This worked perfect for our needs-my son is 9 yrs old and will not be doing any dunking, etc yet. I didn't realize that the backboard did not come out from the pole until I realized that other people's basketball systems all had this extension pushing the backboard away from the pole and ours came right out of the pole-you would hit it as you dunked.

Still, he won't be dunking and the price was good for us-necessary to be able to afford it, so it still is good. You should just know there are differences.

A Happy Grandson

I bought this for my 9 year old grandson and he seems to enjoy it. After reading other people's comments my son-in-law filled the base with sand. It really does take 2 people to put it together and fill it up.

We've all been enjoying playing basketball. Even my 6 year old granddaughter was able to get the ball into the hoop with the post in the lowest position.

Decent system depending on price

First off, the picture that is associated with this product is not correct. After looking at plenty of these systems to purchase and reviewing the picture supplied with this item I thought this system was going to have an adjustable height mechanism which could be done by a handle on the backside of the backboard. If you look behind the backboard in the picture that's the kind of height adjustment mechanism shown BUT that's not the one you will receive. The mechanism to adjust height on the model I received is more tedious. You must remove a bolt, lower the unit to where you want and reinstall the bolt. I know, not that big of a deal but I do think the picture supplied for the product should be accurate and in this case it is not.

With all that said... for the sale price I got on it including shipping ($130) it's not a bad unit. My kids are 11, 8 and 5 and I didn't want to buy an expensive unit to find out they could care less about it. They have enjoyed it so far (1 month) and it's another sport we can all take part in so overall I'd say it was a good purchase.
