Review on Enhanced Basketball Door Hoop Set: Includes 3 High-Quality Basketballs and Pump by Sean Lafond

Revainrating 3 out of 5

There's too much flexibility in the shield, and it's become something of a project to stabilize its shortcomings.

It had real potential. It just didn't work out the way I thought it would. The balls have the same bounce as legal basketballs. Here may be some of the problems with this product. The clear shield is good, but it's too flimsy and the weight of the included bullets makes the shield brittle. The flexible spring ring is a nice touch, but again, the back panel is too thin, resulting in too much flex. You will likely need to add a washer to tighten the spring. In the end I cut the styrofoam out of the packaging and glued pieces behind it to ensure the shield flexed a lot and had the base of the shield scraped down to add stability. In short: If the back wall were twice as thick and completely covered with foam, the rest of the materials would shine.

Pros
  • Basketball hoops and goals
Cons
  • Not sure
