Spalding® «Hercules» Portable Basketball Frame

Our colleague Olivier, a basketball fan, tested the Spalding® «Hercules» Portable Basketball Frame. Recently installed in the backyard of Catsports' head office, it has been solicited several times for friendly games at lunchtime!

THE ADVANTAGES

The Spalding® «Hercules» Portable Basketball Frame has many features. First of all, it is relatively simple to install. Olivier and Kevin managed to assemble it with just a few tools. It's sturdy, with its steel frame and "Pro Slam™" spring ring. Its base can be weighted down with water or sand.

The basket is also easily adjustable for players of different age groups; height adjustment is possible from 228 cm to 305 cm (7.5' to 10'), in 15 cm (6") increments.

CONS

The Spalding® «Hercules» Portable Basketball Frame is a great accessory for all basketball fans, but it's more for a residential clientele. The base is less stable than a cast steel base, so it may be less attractive to institutional clients. Its lower price than similar models on the market still makes it a very attractive product.

In conclusion, this basketball hoop is a great option for players who want to hone their skills at home or for institutions that don't have a large number of players.
