CHANGE FROM ABOVE - This video was hugely helpful - it so happens that Spalding has changed one thing that brought our efforts to a screeching halt. The video above shows the attaching of TWO springs in connecting the backboard. The picture of the backboard online shows TWO springs. We only received one. I'll save you the entire story, but after a trip to the hardware store looking for a second and not finding one, my daughter contacted Spalding who told her there had been a change and the unit only used ONE spring now. So if anybody else feels like they might be a spring short... and it really is an excellent video!
If you look closely at the video the springs he uses are smaller than the One spring it comes with now so I figured it was an update to the packaging but thanks for making sure for all of us that it’s one ONE spring.
I bought this goal from Academy sports and was very reluctant to do this myself. Guy at store told me it wasn’t worth paying $200 to have a third party do it for me so I used this video and the instruction manual. It was a total feat. I recommend anyone getting this hoop, save this video in your favorites and have it up with the manual. Thank you for taking the time to record this.
We would not have been able to finish this hoop without this video. The company should pay this guy money and fire the people who wrote that crappy instruction book. We almost returned this thing. Spaulding should thank this guy!!!
I truly want to thank you. Purchased this for my son's Birthday and was extremely frustrated beyond belief by the manual. Your video saved me time, money, and truly helped more than you can possibly imagine. Thank you and may God Bless.
Thanks for sharing this. It was tremendous assistance as my son & I assembled our hoop. We stumbled a bit when we saw that the video had two springs and our hoop only had one. We thought that our package may have been incomplete until we realized that the newer models only use one spring. Great video!
This video was so helpful. I followed the manual and this video was exact. Except a couple of steps were reverse and the newer one. I did it with little help from anyone and was shocked I could do it. But I would have struggled way more without your video.
Single mother, whreww Chile, I'm glad I came across this video. Started crying from frustration. Trying to put it together for my 16 year old son for his birthday. Came across your video. So Me n my son Trying to put it together. Directions was killing me, I'm more visual, I got it now, thanks ah million 🤗🥰 Even though your poles and our poles are different, still a 54'goal tho. The installation instructions are not good, even with labeling the parts/screws better. Come on now Spalding! XOXO 2U 4 THIS VIDEO 😘😘😘😘
Thank you man for basically guiding me through the entire build!! The instructions aren’t terrible but I put this entire goal together in 40 min watching your video! Thanks!
My boyfriend and I could have NEVER assembled this thing without YOUR VIDEO!! Thank you soooo much!! I had paid for Amazon to assemble it, but they cancelled the assembly because of the coronavirus. Thank you!!
Thank you for taking the effort to document this :) It actually helped me when I got stumped on how to assemble the rim (backplate, rod, then spring screwed on with washer and bolt) and the plastic backboard protectors (use ratchet not a flat screw dooh!) Enjoy hoopin!
Just bought this for my son.( And me lol). I was about to pay 140 to have someone come out and assemble it. Havent watched the full video but the comment section has given me the confidence to pt it together myself with the help of this video. Thanks to all the commenters And a special thanks to the uploader of the vid. I hit the like and subscibed.
@@CodyFazio hey cody, after a month or so i see my backboard is slightly tilted towards the right (meaning the right is down from the shooting angle) ... do you know where i could have gone wrong or how to possibly fix it?
I bought a used basketball hoop and it was assembled incorrectly. Thanks for making this video, my hoop is perfectly assembled thanks to you my friend!❤
Thank you so much for putting this video together - other than the 2 springs vs 1 spring comment - was perfect to follow and made it a cinch to put together !!
Those comments are so true. You are the Best man!! If you haven’t done so, pls reach out to Spaulding because u saved them a lot of customers! Peace out😁
Thank you for this! The back half of the manual was a confusing mess. This video saved me so much. I ditched the manual and just watched the video 👌👌👌👌👏👏👏
Those 64 down make up for the people who will never be satisfy with anything in life. Excellent Video and great important demonstrations. You hit the confusing part in the manual. I agree with Jim.
Cody you're awesome man. I had my hoop in ny garage for a month dreading this day. Discovered your video and hands-down the best tutorial, not only for basketball, but all tutorials on you tube combined. Although you made it look easy, I was clumsy as a caveman, I wouldn't have been able to complete this without your video. Now my neighbors kid is over and wants to shoot around... and he just told me I had no "UP'S" ...I can't wait till he drives towards the hoop where he'll get the hack of his life! Thanks again man!
Just finished. I hooked the springs to the wrong screw. And I was missing a spring What do the springs do? It seems to be working fine do I need to go back and change it?
Thanks for the video. I am having trouble screw the strut into the base. Any tips how to do this? I'm thinking to release the top bolt first and work on the base to secure the strut into the base loosely before attaching the top section.
Hello Cody. Idk why but my elevator assembly looks different from yours and that is the part I’m really stuck on. Did un assemble the handle for it? Because I don’t think I have that silver piece to put on the pole. The instructions manual makes it so unbelievably hard and confusing. Thanks
Nice system overall. I’d recommend going to your local hardware and buying 2 3” fully threaded 3/8 bolts to connect the backboard to the base. What the manufacturer provides can be tricky and difficult.
yes, and there is no washers to hold on the backboard to the hoop so it's very loose. Did you have the same problem? I don't play much basketball but it seems like it could be a problem.
@@thesincear9551 hey did you find out how to fix? I’m dealing with a crooked problem too. I can’t tell if it’s the base and pole or the backboard. I think the whole pole is slanted.
Thanks.. It isn't rocket science but you expedited it! And, when you have two or three "adults" interjecting... LOL... I pulled up your video and said, "stop arguing.... " haha... Again, thanks! Much appreciated
Great vid buddy... will tackle setup later this week to get it ready for the kids this weekend. Hope the hoop is not responsible for the battle scar. Thank you sir! From a french Canadian who only has a few month to enjoy basketball outside...!
Great video!!! I bought one of these hoops a few years ago but could never finish it. I'm going to buy another one but wanted to make sure I could find something better than that instruction booklet.
Mine only came with one spring, instructions only shows one spring in installation, but the instructions also says that there are suppose to be 2 Springs included? Also mine won’t go lower than 9’.
John Santiago, yep! Just a few hours ago I was trying to correct the wobbly backboard. I got up on a ladder, loosened all the bolts, squared the backboard up, and re-tightened all the bolts. As soon as I touched the backboard it wobbled and was crooked again. I’ve decided I’m taking this thing apart and returning it.
@@davidyazdanipanah6941 I'm thinking the same thing but I can't take that pole apart. Might sell it on Offerup and turn a profit if I can't fix it to my liking
Spalding should pay you for this!!!!....the instructions they sent were ok but I got stuck early on and I came to youtube and found you. This video really made my day. Just got done with mine. It didn't go as smooth as yours 😂. Not your fault though. The backboard part was hard for me to line up plus I did it all by myself. But thanks so much for the video.
I set my sons up about 5 months ago and all was good. I now noticed the backboard seems to be crooked rim is straight and seems good but when u look at it from the side u can see its not straight....I checked everything and tighten everything up again but still the same....any ideas of what to check or do?? Thanks
R Reyes I emailed Spaulding and they said to lift the system as high as you can pull it and then it would lower to the lowest setting. It worked for me when I tried it. Hope that helps.
Repent now and trust Jesus Christ our Lord and savior please ❤️ God bless your family and you
God bless
Amen God bless too 🙏🏽😊

Good thing I read your comment before I got to that part of the install - thanks a bunch!
Does the unit come with the tools needed??

This was the best "how to assembly" video for this particular kit. Thank you for sharing.

Just finished. I hooked the springs to the wrong screw. And I was missing a spring
What do the springs do? It seems to be working fine do I need to go back and change it?
Referring to 8:20 or so
i’m missing a spring too, i was setting mine up today. how is yours working with just one spring?
Does it work with one spring? Im missing one too
El Chino yeah it works jus fine
How long does it take to stretch the spring out
Brother I'm bout to put mine together. Can't thank you enough for this.
EVERY how-to vid should be in this format. 100% need to know, 0 pork. It took me 13 minutes to assemble mine, you beat me
When I use TH-cam to find out how to do something, the last thing I want to hear is unnecessary chatter and filler
Thanks for the video. I am having trouble screw the strut into the base. Any tips how to do this? I'm thinking to release the top bolt first and work on the base to secure the strut into the base loosely before attaching the top section.
That is what I ended up doing and it worked like a charm

Did u use sand in the bottom? If so how many pounds did it take to fill up?
how can i fix if the backboard is crooked? please answer as soon as possible i want to get this thing up
Not sure. Gotta look at it where it attaches to the pole
Cody Fazio yea i see why now thanks
Why was it crooked? Mines crooked right now I’m trying to see why.
@@thesincear9551 hey did you find out how to fix? I’m dealing with a crooked problem too. I can’t tell if it’s the base and pole or the backboard. I think the whole pole is slanted.

This was a HUGE help. What a lifesaver! Couldn’t have done it without this video.
Excellent instructional video. Dang, I should have looked this up before I started assembling mine!
This guy is a best it took me my brother and my uncle to make this thing and it took 3 days
Thank You,
I'm a single mom trying to go @t this thing by myself for my son. I really appreciate this video:)
Very helpful video thanks sooo much
Great video, that's how tutorials or this type of product should be!
I love how you did it in under 12 minutes everybody else was talking about a day and a half almost
Even though I have a different model I just needed a little hint on the rim. Great video
Thank you! What is the song? Cool country licks!
THANK YOU soooo much for this video! We would have never been able to finish it with the booklet!
Better video than Spaulding..
Good work mate..
Thanks..
Thank you for this. I was able to put the rim back on after it came loose and fell off because of this video.
Thank you!!! You saved me hours 😂
Can these be folded and put in the garage for the winter
Thank you so much. I don't think i could have done it without you.
Thanks for the video. This is a lot easier than reading the instructions. 👍😉
Thank you so much for sharing this. Super helpful and made the assembly much easier 🎉

And what is the name of the music that is playing?
I tried to look back but I deleted it off my editing software. All music is from youtubes free section in the studio creater
10:15 what is that metal thing you put the black part inside of i can’t find that anywhere
Pretty sure it was just a spring over a long bolt with a washer on the bolt
@@CodyFazio my rim won’t stay on any help?
Cody, thanks for your video. It has really been a blessing.
Im the silly guy who comes to this video after I install it to see what I did wrong. Thank you for this video
You helped tremendously but damn, all your pieces fit in perfectly and smoothly mines did not lol
Thanks! I’m reasonably handy but this helped a lot.
Thank you so much for putting this together. This video helped me assemble the same hoop I purchased for my son.

Mine only came with one spring, instructions only shows one spring in installation, but the instructions also says that there are suppose to be 2 Springs included? Also mine won’t go lower than 9’.
Yep same with mine. Pretty annoying. Is your backboard wobbly if you grab the corner and move it up and down?

I've seen this complaint come up before in the comments. Not sure what's causing it, it's been years since I put that system together
Great video bro.but mine only.came with 1 spring smh now to.order another break away spring or am I good with 1 ?
You're good they updated it
@@CodyFazio thanks bro 🙏 🙌 ❤ 👌
man how do you put that top part on @ 7:07 so close to finishing just cannot get that on
Get it started, put a block of wood over it and hit the wood with a hammer. Try heating it up if you're in colder climate
Thank you for sharing. I watched this video to put mine up!
Thanks so much for posting this buddy. Great music, too!
I’m having an issue adjust the height of the system. It won’t go lower than 9 ft. It looks like the spring is stopping it from lowering.
Same,i dont know what the problem is. If you fixed it please let me know how.
R Reyes I emailed Spaulding and they said to lift the system as high as you can pull it and then it would lower to the lowest setting. It worked for me when I tried it. Hope that helps.
