Shooting hoops in the driveway is a tradition in many households. And you can't shoot hoops without a basketball hoop.

While there are plenty of portable basketball hoops on the market for under $100, cheap models generally don't last long — and they're often wobbly, with a weak bounce off the backboard, even when they're brand new. This wobbling and instability could prove to be much more than an annoyance, it could also put players at risk.

A cheap, basic hoop may be fine if all you want is a toy for your little kids to get a taste of basketball. Just be warned that they may outgrow it fairly quickly, as the backboards on these models can soon feel very small to players, and the shaking from shots off the backboard only gets worse as bolts loosen over time.

Instead, what you probably want is a well-built basketball hoop that will hold up sturdily through cold winters, strong winds and blazing summer sunshine alike. The goal is to have a gathering place for family games of HORSE, intense two-on-twos, ritualistic free throw shooting practice and more, for years to come. And it certainly won't hurt if the hoop looks ready for serious competitions as well, with a gleaming glass backboard and a pro-style breakaway rim you can occasionally lower so that everyone can dunk.

Basketball hoop buying guide

Full-size basketball hoops can cost less than $100 (sometimes even under $50), and run up to well over $2,000. How much should you spend?

Well, how you plan on using your basketball hoop, how long you plan on it lasting, and where it will be positioned on your property will help determine which model is most worth the money for you. Here are some factors to consider as you shop around:

• In-ground, portable or mounted? Before you buy a basketball hoop, think carefully about where you're going to use it — and particularly whether you want it to be portable.

Portable basketball hoops are popular not only because they can be moved around, but also because they generally cost a lot less and are more straightforward to set up. They're not entirely hassle-free, however. Installation can often be a pain (see below), and, as you'd probably guess, portable models are not as stable as permanently installed hoops anchored with concrete into the ground.

The base of a portable basketball hoop is usually meant to be filled with sand or water. It's much easier to fill the base with water, but water expands when frozen and the structure can be damaged if it turns to ice in the winter. Filling it with sand is the better long-term option, but funneling all the material into the base is often a time-consuming chore — and removing the sand can be an even bigger pain, if you ever need to do that.

In-ground basketball hoops are the choice for people who are serious about having a really good spot to play in the driveway or yard. They are obviously installed in the ground, so they're not prone to being knocked over like some portable models do when there are strong winds (or strong dunks). In-ground hoops are anchored in by concrete and built of stiff, high-grade materials. As a result, the best in-ground basketball hoops will be far more stable, with less shaking and wobbling after hard shots to the backboard, compared to portable hoops. This not only provides stability, but makes the hoop a better tool to improve your game.

The main problem with in-ground basketball hoops, besides their typically high price tags, is that they cannot be easily moved. That may not be a problem if you don't foresee the desire to move the hoop to a different part of the driveway or perhaps out to the street. But before making your basketball hoop spot permanent, you should consider other reasons it might be nice to have a portable model. For example, you might want to be able to move it for delivery trucks, parties or future landscaping projects.

A third option for basketball hoops is the mounted model. This kind of hoop comes with a backboard and rim but no pole or base, and it's built to be mounted to a wall or roof (typically that of a garage). Mounted basketball hoops can be very sturdy, depending on what they're mounted to, but installation can be especially tricky and often requires the purchase of extra hardware.

• Backboard materials. While the cheapest basketball hoops on the market have backboards made with some kind of fiberglass or plastic you can't see through, nowadays most decent backboards feature a transparent material for a more polished look and feel.

Backboards made with tempered glass are what you'll find in local gyms and in high school, college, and pro games, and it is used in pricey high-quality basketball hoops intended for the driveway as well. Tempered glass is significantly stronger than regular glass. It is heavy and fairly durable, and more resistant to scratches than acrylic or polycarbonate — two other clear materials frequently used for basketball backboards.

Acrylic and polycarbonate are different kinds of plastic, and they're used in many mid-level basketball backboards. Backboards made with these materials will save you money compared to tempered glass, and they are also softer and less susceptible to damage from debris or vandalism — if, say, someone throws a rock. Because acrylic and polycarbonate are softer than tempered glass, however, the bounce off the backboard is dulled a bit, which may lead to stronger layups than necessary.

Of the two plastic materials, polycarbonate is tougher; it's actually marketed as bulletproof. However, polycarbonate can become cloudy and brittle over time if it's constantly exposed to the sun's UV rays. Acrylic, often referred to as plexiglass, won't be damaged by the sun's rays and should remain perfectly clear regardless of how long it stays outside.

That's why so many customers prefer acrylic for outdoor basketball hoops. It's less expensive, softer and lighter than tempered glass, while being superior to polycarbonate in terms of its lifespan out under a powerful sun.

• Backboard size and shape. Cheaper, lower-quality basketball hoops often have small backboards that are rounded and shaped like a fan. Clear backboards are almost always rectangular in shape, and their measurements are usually specified in widths from 44" to 72".

A 72" tempered glass backboard is what you'll see in serious competitions ranging from high school games through the NBA. But an impressive backboard of this size may be overkill for casual pickup games in your cramped driveway, next to your old Honda.

On the other hand, a 44" backboard might seem puny, and, generally speaking, bigger is better when it comes to this subject. For most people, there's a happy medium with a clear rectangular backboard that's 54" or 60" wide.

• Height adjustability. Face it: You probably are never going to dunk on a regulation 10' rim. If you have very young kids, odds are their shots won't even reach over a 10' rim at first. The good thing is that most basketball hoops can be adjusted for height, which can add to the fun, big time.

Some models offer much easier height adjustment than others, so take a close look at how (and how easy it is) to change the backboard's height before you buy. The best models feature a crank that can be twisted to lower or raise the height to exactly where you want. Others have a pin system, in which you can adjust the height to different set levels. And some of these systems are better at keeping the backboard and rim firmly in place than others.

• Assembly. Putting together a basketball hoop out of the box is usually a lot more difficult than, say, building an IKEA bookshelf. For most new hoops, assembly requires at least two people, a few tools and a fair amount of muscle power, as well as anywhere from an hour to an entire afternoon. (Using a variety of colorful swear words is not necessary, per se, but you may find it helpful or at least inevitable.)

If all of this sounds overwhelming or not the worth the hassle, it's worth considering outsourcing this job to a professional. Some manufacturers and online sellers offer an add-on service to build the hoop at your home for $100 and up.

Best basketball hoops

1. Best overall (in-ground): Goalrilla FT72

Courtesy of Amazon

For a basketball hoop that will be the envy of the neighborhood — and a magnet for kids seeking pickup games — check out the Goalrilla FT72.

Goalrilla's in-ground FT series of hoops is as good as it gets for driveway basketball games. They come in a choice of 54", 60" and 72", ranging in price from roughly $1,600 to $2,100, respectively. Every Goalrilla FT hoop features powder-coated steel frames and 1/2" thick tempered glass backboards, and they all come with a 9" anchor system and heavy-duty breakaway rims similar to those used at the highest level of competition. The rim height is adjustable too, from 7.5' to the standard 10', by twisting a hand crank.

While all of the Goalrilla FT hoops are sturdy, with little to no shaking after proper installation, the FT72 is exceptionally strong. It's built with a 6" x 6" steel pole, compared to 5" x 5" for the smaller Goalrilla FT hoops. Combine that with the fact that the FT72 is the biggest model in the series (72" wide by 42" high), and you can understand why this is our pick for the best overall in-ground basketball hoop.

As with any in-ground basketball hoop, be warned that it's essential for installation to be done carefully and properly. In addition to picking out the perfect spot for the new basketball hoop, you'll need precise measurements and quite a lot of concrete to pour. Also, be warned that while tempered glass backboards look awesome and provide a great touch for shots "off the glass," the material is often more likely to crack from an errant rock or tree branch than acrylic, polycarbonate or fiberglass.

Nevertheless, once it's properly installed, this hoop can take on almost anything, even your Division I nephew showing off his dunks during Christmas.

2. Editor's pick: Spalding Hybrid Portable Basketball System

Courtesy of Amazon

Perhaps a $1,000 basketball hoop is out of the question, let alone one for $2,000, but you still want a product that allows for serious play and is much better and more durable than a toy. If that sounds like you, there's a sweet spot in the range of $500 to $800 where you'll find very good quality portable basketball systems without feeling like you went overboard.

Our pick for this category is the Spalding Hybrid, so named because the base is filled with a mix of water (19) gallons and sand (four 5-pound bags). In fact, the base — or rather, how it's filled and emptied — is one of its selling points. Unlike many other portable hoop bases, which have one tiny hole at the base serving as a fill-up spot, the top layer of the Spalding Hybrid's base can be removed entirely so it's fast and easy to fill it with sand. (Likewise, this makes it exceptionally easy to remove the sand if that's ever necessary.)

The Hybrid comes in a choice of 54 or 60 acrylic backboards, priced at $550 and $800, respectively, when we looked. The backboard is supported by a steel pole (either 3.5" in diameter or 4" square, depending on the model), which is angled forward so it stays out of the way when people are playing. The pole is braced by a triangular "rebounder," which adds stability to the backboard at the same time it helps steer basketballs back into the court after they've gone through the hoop.

The hoop comes with a breakaway rim so that it won't bend if someone dunks, and the rim height is adjustable from 7.5' to 10' by twisting a hand crank. Also included: ground stakes to help it stay firmly in the ground, and a pair of plastic wheels for rolling it to a new location.

3. Editor's pick runner-up: Silverback NXT Portable Height-Adjustable Basketball Hoop

Courtesy of Amazon

In addition to its top-notch in-ground hoops, Goalrilla makes very good portable models sold under the Silverback line.

The Silverback NXT line has polycarbonate backboards and comes in 50 or 54 widths, priced at $430 and $523, respectively, when we looked. One of the strengths of the Silverback line is, literally, its strength. The hoops are built with a steel frame that extends all the way through the base up into the pole that connects to the backboard.

The main pole is slanted for even weight distribution, and it is braced by a pair of angled steel poles extending from the base, for extra stability and minimal shaking. However, the Silverbacks do not have a "rebounder" at the base like the Spalding's portable models do. This means the ball might fly off after a shot, so be sure to place it in an fenced off area.

Speaking of the base, the Silverback NXT's features a uniquely sloped design that helps keep the hoop balanced and makes it easier to move using a wheelbarrow-like method. The company also promotes the Silverback as a "Quick-Play" hoop that, theoretically, can be taken out of the box and fully built in 90 minutes or less, mostly with preassembled parts.

4. Best for low prices: Spalding 54 Polycarbonate Backboard NBA Portable Basketball System

Courtesy of Amazon

For around $250, this Spalding model with a 54" polycarbonate backboard and an angled design that helps with stability and keeps the pole out of the way during play is a great value.

Like other portable Spalding models, this hoop has a rim that can be adjusted from 7.5' to 10' high. Instead of twisting a crank to adjust the rim inch by inch, however, it has a pin that can be moved to a handful of different set heights.

For casual shooting around and the occasional two-on-two game, this hoop does the trick. It's more stable and provides a more comfortable playing area compared to most other cheap basketball hoops designed for the driveway — which usually feature a vertical pole that players inevitably bump into, and is prone to wobbling.

However, at such a low price, you shouldn't be surprised that it's not the strongest and best-built basketball hoop out there. Polycarbonate is more durable than acrylic, but can turn cloudy when exposed to the sun for a few years. The pole is round and made of steel, and 3.5" in diameter, which is the same as many mid-range hoops but smaller than the heftiest top models. The base is big enough to handle 34 gallons of water or sand, which again, is less than some other models. As a result, this hoop may shake a little more than you like and could be more prone to tipping over compared to higher-priced competitors. That's why, in addition to filling the base with sand or water, many owners take addition precautions with their hoops by adding weight on top of the base or just laying them flat when heavy winds are expected.

Finally, shoppers should know that while this Spalding hoop is sold at Amazon, it's made especially for Walmart, and prices are sometimes slightly cheaper there. During Walmart's Black Friday 2021 sale, for example, it was available for just $200. At other times, however, this model has sometimes been out of stock. As always, it's smart to shop around.

5. Best mounted basketball hoop: Silverback NXT 54 Wall-Mounted Adjustable Height Basketball Hoop

Courtesy of Amazon

We like the wall-mounted version of the Silverback mostly for the same reasons we recommend the brand's portable hoop. Namely, it uses high-quality materials throughout, the height adjustment is easy to operate, and installation should be quicker and less of a hassle than most competitors.

The frame is made of powder-coated steel that's back by a 5-year warranty, and it comes with a pro-style breakaway rim. To adjust the height, you hook a steel "actuator" (included) to a hook connected to the frame, and as you twist the backboard will go higher or lower. (This is a pretty rare feature for wall-mounted hoops, which tend to have old-school designs that lock in at one height, with no option for adjustability.)

Many of Silverback's parts come pre-assembled. Even so, installing wall-mounted hoops can be tricky and time-consuming. The brand promises that assembly can take place in "120 minutes or less," but it may not be a straightforward project.

Take note that mounting hardware is not included with the Silverback hoop and backboard. Why? Well, for one thing, the hardware you need can vary greatly depending on what surface you're attaching the hoop to. So be warned that it may require an above-average level of home improvement handiness and familiarity with the local hardware store to be able to install this hoop (or any wall-mounted hoop, for that matter) to your garage or another surface. Also, Silverback says that this hoop should not be mounted to any brick surface.

6. Best over-the-door basketball hoop: Franklin Sports Over the Door Basketball Hoop

Courtesy of Amazon

Silverback's wall-mounted hoops are marketed to use outside and indoors. But for most people, the prospect of installing a full-size basketball hoop inside their homes just isn't a possibility.

What you can do to bring your game inside, however, is buy a mini basketball hoop that can simply be hooked over the top of a door. These mini hoops are incredibly popular for kids' rooms and offices, and there are dozens and dozens of different models. You can buy a super cheap one with a flimsy plastic rim for $10 or less, but odds are it'll break.

Instead, check out models that have real metal rims with springs that provide a nice touch for your shots. Franklin's over-the-door hoop is an excellent option, featuring a shatter-resistant backboard and a metal rim that's 9.5" in diameter rim that should — theoretically — survive rambunctious games behind a teenager's closed door.

The Franklin hoop comes in a few different colors and styles, with prices generally ranging from $25 to $35. A 5" rubber basketball with a nice grip is included, as is a pump and needle for inflation.

Its biggest downside is probably the temptation to hold family slam dunk competitions and put ceramic figurines at risk.

Another good option for over-the-door hoops is available from SKLZ. For about $30, the SKLZ Pro Mini Basketball Hoop comes with a 9" metal rim with springs, an 18" x 12" polycarbonate backboard and a 5" basketball (but no pump or needle). To supersize your indoor game, an XL version of the SKLZ hoop, featuring a 23" x 16" backboard and a 9.5" rim, goes for roughly $40.

If you’re an amateur who’s committed to getting better or you have plans to take part in professional tournaments, an indoor mini hoop might be all you need to improve your skills. 

How to Choose the Best Mini Basketball Hoop

Shopping for the best mini basketball hoop has never been easy. However, you can be guided to purchase the mini hoop that’s best for you when you check out for some factors. 

Durability

It will profit you nothing if you end up purchasing a mini hoop that is counterfeit and of low quality. Make sure you confirm that the product you’re going for is made of good materials that will positively affect its durability and reliability. Thus, make sure you check the material that the rim and the backboard is made of. If it’s made of steel, then it’s a good one.

Cost and Value

Although you don’t want to be too concerned about price, you shouldn’t have to rob a bank because you want to get a mini hoop. And likewise, make sure you don’t compromise on value because you want a very cheap mini hoop. If you’re looking for a cost-effective mini hoop, we recommend you go for the SKLZ pro Mini Basketball Hoop.

Size

It is best to check the size of the space that you plan on using the basketball hoop in to ensure that you order one that will fit properly. Available options include both small- and large-sized mini basketball hoops, which will cover most needs.

Material

You have to consider which material you want your mini basketball hoop model to be made from – plastic, foam, polycarbonate or one of the other materials available. Keep in mind what your hoop will be made of. Different materials have different thicknesses and abilities to resist things, so if you’re not very gentle with your hoop then you’ll probably want to go for something that will not break easily for a strong mini basketball hoop.

Method of Attachment

The way these hoops are attached typically differ from one to the next. You’ll need to choose the type that’s best for you. Some of them get mounted to a wall or above a door, some hang over a door and others can simply be stuck to the wall.

Ease of Installation

While some mini hoops are easy to install, some can be quite difficult to figure out. If you seek an easy-to-install mini hoop, we advise you go for the JustInTymeSports Wall Mounted Mini Basketball Hoop. Whereas, you can save yourself from installation stress and go for the AND1 Mini Basketball Hoop, which is already pre-assembled.

Adjustability

If your mini hoop can be adjusted, you’ll have a great time using it for people of different heights, and everyone will be happy. Mini hoops with adjustability settings offer a win-win atmosphere for everyone, and this is why you shouldn’t overlook this feature. 

Safety

Yes, safety. If the hoop you’re planning to buy cannot withstand warping, tear, wear, or breakage, or cannot resist rust or corrosion, let alone having foam padding to prevent any scratch, then you should change your mind because you deserve better. 

How do I go about the installation of my indoor mini basketball hoop?

Indoor mini basketball hoops are usually mounted hoops, and most of them are often very easy to install. The essential thing you need to do is to ensure that you have all the components and necessities in place. Once you’ve done that, you can proceed to start assembling after you’ve read the instructions on the manual. 

 

You’ll have no problem if you follow what’s on the manual instructions. And, there are even some mini hoops that are pre-assembled and won’t make you go through any stress of assembling.

How much does an indoor basketball hoop cost?

You don’t need to break a bank before you get a quality mini indoor basketball hoop. You will not even spend up to $50 to get a nice mini hoop like the SKLZ Pro Mini Basketball Hoop, which is our overall best and even the JustInTymeSports Wall Mounted Mini Basketball Hoop that we mentioned that’s a bit pricey isn’t even up to $40. It’s all up to you.

 

Although, their price may shoot up anytime soon. And, this is why we encourage you to make your purchase as soon as you can.

Can adults and children use a mini hoop?

Why not? Yes, of course. Both adults and children can use a mini hoop if they so wish to. We always advise that you consider getting an ideal hoop for your kids, and you may as well purchase one that’s suitable for family use. As we’ve reviewed, the AND1 Mini Basketball Hoop is a great choice for children. And, you may also want to consider the best for family: RAMgoal Durable Adjustable Indoor Mini Basketball Hoop, which is a great fit for family.

How can I choose the perfect indoor basketball hoop?

We do know how stressful it can be to find the indoor mini hoop that’s perfect for you, and this is why we’ve dutifully reviewed some of the top mini hoops on the market right now. 

 

We’ve as well outlined some factors such as the backboard system, height adjustment, and a host of others that you should take note of when you’re purchasing your indoor basketball mini hoop.

Wrapping It Up

Choosing to install a mini basketball system in your house is one of the best decisions you can make. It doesn’t matter if you’re a sports lover or not. Think of the benefits it fetches. If you don’t have a family yet, think of the beautiful fun you can have while slamming dunks, getting active, and improving your cardio at the same time. 

 

Choosing the right hoop is very vital because you can sharpen your basketball skills, exercise, have fun, and eliminate boredom with the right hoop. And because we understand that making a choice can be somewhat tricky due to the plethora of options out there, we recommend you go for the SKLZ Pro Mini Basketball Hoop, which is our best overall because you can enjoyably practice your shots with it whenever the impulse strikes you. Plus, it’s easy to assemble and mount, and it’s got a fun soul. 

If you need a mini hoop for your little kids and their friends that are likely to come around, the Little Tikes Easy Score Basketball Set will be a perfect choice.

After you have purchased the basic basketball equipment, such as basketball, stand and backboard, , it's time for the essentials of basketball - basketball hoop and net.

Basketball hoop must have the following construction: the smallest inner diameter is 45 cm and the largest is 45.7 cm . Basketball hoops are usually colored bright orange. Basketball hoop is made of durable metal, whose diameter is not less than 16 mm. Attach it to a vertical surface and start your workout. Develop accuracy and dexterity with each new throw!

How to choose a basketball net?

Many people think that basketball net is not a very important element, but this is a mistaken opinion, because the net is an integral part of the basketball game.

At first glance it may seem that all basketball nets are the same and do not differ from each other, but this is not true . The main differences are the material from which the basketball net for the hoop is made, the thickness of the thread and the diameter of the basketball net itself. Nylon Nets made of nylon are durable and long lasting. If you plan to occasionally meet friends and play basketball, you should not spend money on expensive basketball net . If you need a mesh for professional training and playing, then nylon is perfect.

Reliability and durability also depend on the thickness of the threads. If you want professional basketball nets, it's best to buy those made with thicker strands.

Which basketball hoop should I choose?

Basketball hoop must be made of a strong material so that it does not break during stress . It is important that this basketball attribute remains safe for the players. Therefore, before buying a basketball hoop, you need to pay attention to these factors.

Other Basketball Items

Keep in mind that Basketball will also need other items such as Ball Pump, Pump Attachment Set, Ball Needle Set, Basketball Tactical Board or Coaching Tablet and Pressure Gauge.
