AND 1 Power Jam Basketball System

mccabecc

Hi,
My son loves to play basketball and i'm going to buy some basket for him, i think about buying something like this:

AND 1 Power Jam Basketball System

i have some space in front of my house and it will not be a problem to place it but i wonder if it is good idea?
I have no place where i could mount hanging basket.

I got a similar one from Ellverys recently and I use it to play in a car park with some work friends once a week.
The base has already burst and so is leaking water, the pole twists easily so when the ball hits the board is faces to the left or right so you need to correct it often ... tbh I'm not overly impressed by it. I've only had it a month or so but we don't punish it, so it should be in better shape at this stage imo. It does the job but I doubt it'll last as long as it should at the prices they are!
Not sure if the one you posted is a better quaity but from the design of the base it looks quite similar.

It looks realy similar to your one, thanks for this short review, it's not so cheap so every opinion is worth a lot.

No prob. As it happens I have to replace the one I got. Did you find any better options?
Ive found this And1 model which looks better, and it should be as it's more expensive!

try to ensure it has an overhang otherwise you run into the pole alot
