Differences between the Spalding 88365 Basketball System and the 881105:

Both of these systems are great for home use. However, they have 2 significant differences. First the backboard on the 88365 is acrylic and the backboard on the 881105 is tempered glass. Tempered glass provides a much better rebound compared to acrylic. Acrylic tends to hold up better to more abusive conditions (flying objects for instance). The second difference is the pole structure. The 88365 has a 3-piece pole and the 881105 has a 2-piece pole. Fewer pole pieces helps reduce movement in the system, making the system more rigid.
