Review on ๐Ÿ€ Enhanced SKLZ Kick-Out Basketball Return Attachment for Optimized Performance by David Blackstock

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well but needs a simple mod to make it perfect.

Failed to load media. I was looking for something similar to install a hoop in our yard. We wanted something that could be rotated to any angle so we could practice with our shots from different angles. I posted a video to show exactly how it works. I shot from about 10-12 feet and as you can see the ball keeps coming back to me - the bounce depends on how you throw it. In most cases, "good bounces" will have the ball come back to you a little slower than if you just hit the net. In general, I'm very happy that I don't have to run after the ball with every shot. Why 4 stars? Well, the more you shoot, you'll notice that it starts shifting to a different angle, and pretty soon you'll have to straighten it out again. You don't actually see it in the video but believe me you can see it. A quick fix I came up with was to incorporate a metal clip to "lock" the ball back into place - but I'm sure there are other ways to lock it - but I found that this is the fastest way. I've had it for almost a full month and use it almost every day and it seems to be holding up pretty well. The only time one of the hooks came off the hoop was when my kids were playing and they kept hitting the ball with their punches (airball) - I think if you don't it must be quite a while. Time.

Pros
  • Great Value
Cons
  • Fair
