What do we think about this model?

This is a very popular model.  The competitive price, free pole pad, lifetime warranty, and free shipping are all huge benefits with this model.  This model is manufactured by Mammoth, but it is marketed a little differently.  It has the "Competition" logo instead of the "Mammoth" logo.  It's very similar to the 98862 model the big difference being that this model is Acrylic and the 98862 is glass.  The glass is considered an upgrade and is more expensive to make.  That accounts for the difference in price.  Many customers who have purchased this in the past migth assume that it is glass since Acrylic is the next best thing and plays similar to glass.  These are definitely high-end basketball systems.  You don't see these in drive ways as often as the lower-end goals. 

Assembly on this takes about 3.5 hours with two people (5-7 required when hoisting it onto the anchor plate) and is well worth the time.  They don't wabble or shake.  It's very similar to playing in a high school or gym.  Because of the size of the pole, these poles anchor into the ground.  Don't be intimidated by the cement work.  It's a piece of cake.  You simply follow the instructions one step at a time and you're done before you know it.  The instructions are designed for parents to assemble; not contractors so even if you're not too handy you shouldn't be worried.  There is some prep work you can do while this is in transit on the way to you. The hole that you dig is 4' deep and 21"x21" square.  It is recommended that you put it right next to the playing surface.  These are too large to ship with UPS or FedEx so they ship on a pallet via Roadway or ABFS.  They call you to schedule a delivery as someone does have to be home to sign for it.  It comes in three large boxes.  Give our customer service a call if you have any questions. 

*accessory #0647 replacement pole pad is available for this model, but it does come with a pole pad.
