Happy to say my install went well while the wooden anvil was in the water for the prescribed 1 hour soak, I assembled the base and put in th pilot hole. I started sledge hammering- the first 10-12 inches went quick- between fatigue and the depth, I was getting an inch deeper every 10 whacks. From there it was fairly easy to level and secure.
I wish it came with a sturdier tapping block set-up. The little plastic peices that go on the sides of the block broke after just a few whacks. If they weren’t so flimsy and hollow they would work just fine I think. After enough whacks to finally snap our sledgehammer in half (yes it really snapped right in half) we’ve finally got the stake into the ground. Going to continue installation tomorrow, wish us luck 😂 Edited to add: we completed installation and it looks and works FANTASTIC! So very pleased with this product.
Ya, the block does get really beat up, but it did its job. It was 105° outside when I installed mine, so I was motivated to get it done asap, and really put some effort into it.
@@erik5024 the block did great, but the plastic pieces that help anchor the block broke pretty quickly. So then it was either play the game of chase the block every time it falls out or create our own lol. Unfortunately we opted to just pick up the block and stick it back on there after every whack since we had nothing else handy to wedge in there 😂
@DJ the install took about a hour. We have clay soil here in Kansas so getting it in the ground was no problem. The quality of the stand is great and I would for sure recommend it.
Installed easily enough. It's not quite as stable as the plastic base full of sand/water....but it looks better. My hoop has a glass backboard, so its kind of top heavy. I may end up digging out a portion of ground and pouring concrete to set the probase in at some point. Even though that would be a permanent solution, I think it would be more stable.
@@miacrawford4662 it's held up just fine. I was concerned it would wiggle its way loose, but its still as stable as day 1. It does sway a bit, as we have a 60" glass backboard mounted to it.
I bought the Probase, and unfortunately it did not hold up to normal use. The base collapsed, and damaged my Spalding Hoop. I emailed the company with a warranty claim, but no reply in over 30 days…purchase at your own risk!

How do you buy it I dont know how to
That's what she said
@@PondShark79 wow. Hadn’t interpreted thecomments from a perv pov. You may need to shoot more baskets. Lol🏀
I have the pro base but I have a goal that use to be in a plastic base. It leans too far back in the probase. Any fixes?
Wife and son installed this in less than 30 minutes . Ground was a little soft from rain . Overall pretty decent product .
Where's the link to buy one?
On Google.
What prevents it from rotating? Are the bolts that clamp it in place enough?

Did any of you who installed this call about any utility lines before installing? Thinking of doing this for my goal. TIA.
UPS delivered mine today. Ready to install it.

I guess these are made for the cheap hoops. This one in the video is the round pole, my is squared, OR DOES IT WORK FOR BOTH TYPES?
Look like for both. I have a square and is thinking about getting one
Works with both square can’t be bigger than 4x4
Hi where could I buy 1 of these in Australia from at a reasonable comparable price?
The mailman helped with some of the pounding🤔
Wym by that?
Did she like it
I installed this with my wife in like 20 minutes it was pretty easy just make sure you buy a sledge hammer or borrow one from the old neighbor.
Can someone please provide the link for this please

How has it held up since? Installing ours today and we also have a very large top heavy backboard

@@erik5024 awesome that is great to hear!
Looks like it’ll move a lot when the ball makes contact.
Any videos on how to install on concrete??
Does this shit actually work? And also mine pole is already in the ground and the rim is about 7 feet above the ground, will this make it higher?
Has anybody done the conversion with an angled net? is that part tricky at all?
Yes I did and it was not to bad a little leg work with the backboard and spring tension you will need 2 people
What about the angle that the pole was in when it was in the plastic base?
Not all poles are angled
Can I use this for inground hoops as a concrete replacement
yea if u wanna be cheap
Yes as long as pole fits in. Has to be a specific size
Would it work with a glass backboard?
Were do you buy that from
I just received mine and I'm planning to plant into the driveway. Has anyone installed into concrete yet?
Is there a good solution for concrete?
Just got mine and it’s not easy to put in the ground

football431000 I just dug a hole and pour concrete
Where can I buy 1

Concrete and deep is the only answer.
Wish it worked with angled backboard
It does
It does. they actually have direction on the website on how to convert an angled backboard to work with it.
Wish in one hand and 💩 in the other
Thank you for this video. I will buy this for my son 🤎
If you are a man and cannot pound a post in the ground ,,,,well you get where I'm going .
If you think a post represents a women,,,, well something is very wrong bruh lol.
The basketball net needs to be fixed
this thing is not easy at all, pounding it into the ground is harder than usual
And they sent a whop sided ball y’all could have sent a basketball 🏀 this thing shaped like a football 🏈 smh 🤦🏾♂️
Put air in it ya dingbat and the ball becomes round.....🤦🏻♂️
Frost172 duh smart guy it’s still shaped like an egg
I recieved 2 of them , both inflated for days and shaped like a tube lol... used them for targets for the AR, fun to shoot lol
i see like a dozen fail points on that thing! No thanks

Where is this manufactured
List recieved mine ... came from china ... they are put of Canada. Looks super heavy duty. Installing this weekend
