How to Select the Right System

How will you decide if a higher end basketball system is the right choice for you?

So you have decided you want to purchase a basketball system for you or your family. That part is done. However, there are a wide variety of quality and price issues to decide now.

Portable Model: By portable, we mean that the basketball goal can be moved in and out of the driveway (we consider Goalrilla an inground system which is moveable to your next home, NOT portable). Most portable goals are lighter in order to have portability. Therefore, they are mostly plastic. Unfortunately, these lighter weight portable models just simply do not have the ability to support a more professional style clearview backboard or withstand years of aggressive play. They are also much more difficult to level and are likely to be tipped if players do not follow the instructions to weight them properly.

Lower price-Inground model: From a budget consideration, these basketball systems might be appealing to some home owners. However, you are likely to have to replace a system of this type after a few years of play. If there are growing children in your household, this type of product will most surely not stand up to the rigors of play as your children enter their more competitive teen years. Also, a basketball system is usually right in front of your house. An aging, torn up low priced model will not be an image that will enhance your home. Also, since this model is concreted into the ground, replacing it after it wears out will be time consuming and expensive.

How will you decide which Goalrilla model is right for you?

If you have decided that a professional style Goalrilla is the right choice for you, how do you now go about deciding which model you should choose?

All Goalrillas have a limited lifetime warranty. This does not change from model to model. In general what you have to consider is the look and play of each model.
  1. You want to select a product which is an appropriate size to enhance the look of your home
  2. You need to understand that the larger the post and backboard you progress up towards moves you closer and closer to a basketball system that has the playability and dimensions of a professional college or NBA system.
  3. You need to consider that any Goalrilla, because of the quality, moveability and lifetime warranty, will in all likelihood be the last basketball system you will ever purchase. With this in mind, you need to select a system that will reflect the growing play demands and desires as your children get older.
  4. Budget. All systems are of the highest quality but the lower priced models provide Goalrilla quality at a price that is more affordable.
  5. Some homeowners simply will not settle for anything less than a professional size backboard that will mirror the backboard that is played on in high school and college and in the pros.
