I bought this SKLZ Pro Mini Hoop for my classroom, and it quickly became one of my best teaching hacks ever. The backboard is solid, the rim has real spring action, and it can handle way more “enthusiastic shots” than you’d expect from something hanging over a door.
I bought this as a gift. I was very impressed with the quality. It’s made of metal and hard plexiglass sort of material for the backboard.
