Basketball Equipment Review: First Team Thunder Pro Basketball Hoop

Consider the First Team Thunder Pro when you want to buy a portable basketball system for use in a gym, church, or recreation center. This unit is adjustable as well, and you can set the rim height to any level between 10' and 6'6". When you want to make a change, just turn the crank at the back of the post to do so. The post to backboard extension of the Thunder Pro is 48" when the rim height is set to 10'. When the unit is in place, the base sits back from the basketball court as a safety feature. The front of the Thunder Pro has heavy padding as well. When you want to move the Thunder Pro from the court back to the storage area, it is a very easy process.

You use the release crank to unlock the six wheels under the base and fold the extension arm down. The unit will pass through a set of standard double doors very easily at that point. The Thunder Pro is designed to meet the needs of institutions who want a high quality indoor basketball system. The rim height can be adjusted easily for children to use, and the extension arm folds down and stores easily. The Thunder Pro comes with a 36" x 60" tempered glass backboard and a heavy duty flex goal. The direct mounted goal guards the backboard from breakage, even if a player hangs off the rim.

• First Team Thunder Pro portable basketball goals are an excellent choice for any school gymnasium, recreation complex, multipurpose facility, or church in need of a superior quality portable working within a budget.

• The Thunder Pro is adjustable. Its simple to use hand crank allows for infinite height adjustments from regulation 10' down to 6'. An easy to crank adjustment handle on the backside of the unit telescopes the backboard and rim to the desired playing height.

• One person can easily move the Thunder Pro portable goal. An easy to grip release crank unlocks the brake and six roller wheels contact the playing surface for smooth portablility. The extension arm can quickly be dropped down to allow the unit to pass under any standard height set of double doors.

• The distance from the backboard to the base of the unit is 4' with the rim at the regulation 10' height. This allows the base of the unit to sit "off the court" for player safety. The base dimensions are 58" long x 40.5" wide. Heavy foam padding covers the entire front of the unit for additional safety. Padding is available in several colors.

• The unit is durable and stable enough to withstand slam dunk action and will not tip over when players hang on the rim. A variety of backboards ranging from 36"x 48" to 36"x 60" are available on the Thunder Pro. This allows the unit to meet an array of facilities and budget needs.
