Are you ready to take basketball to your home at a professional level? If so you should consider purchasing the Mammoth 98862 In Ground Basketball Hoop. The Mammoth basketball system is a quality designed hoop that is made up of some great materials which will hold up even in those barn burners that come down to the final shot.
The backboard is ready for permanent installation, which means that vibrations from shots are almost not existent. This hoop’s height adjustment system is easily worked with the one handed rapid cam operating system. The adjustment range is seven and a half to the regulation ten feet. There is also a key lock system that will keep the hoop at it’s current height and minimize the chances of your hoop being vandalized.
The Lifetime Mammoth in ground models include an anti 
vibration/flex system and a bolt system that attaches to the concrete making transporting easier. The hoop is one hundred percent weather resistant, so it will hold up even in the cold winter months giving years of use. The powder coating on the steel components means the hoop will not rust. Excluding the backboard, the hoop itself is backed by a lifetime warranty in both the United States and Canada.
The Mammoth 98862 In-Ground System comes with a Spring Flex rim, which is prepared to handled rim rocking slams. The 5/8-inch solid-steel rim features wraparound bracing and double-compression springs that give way during dunks to protect the player, then spring back once released. The rim is also supported by 1/2-inch braces, with welded-steel net hooks and an all-weather nylon net.
