A square pole offers the most rigidity or stiffness for your basketball system. Standard basketball rims are 18 inches in diameter and have rings to connect a net.
The rim is one of the most abused aspects of a basketball hoop, so you will want to be sure to purchase one that will hold up to all the shots and impromptu dunk sessions that it will take. The two most common types of rims for residential applications are static and breakaway. If you plan to dunk, make sure you have a breakaway rim or a pro-style flex rim. These rims mimic pro-level performance and feature a spring mechanism that flexes under pressure.
The spring absorbs the shock of the dunk, which also increases the durability and longevity of the rim. Static rims are just what their name implies; they remain static. These rims are often used in entry-level models and are an economic option for hoops if you are on a tight budget. Dunking is not recommended on static rims because of the safety implications for the player and the wear on the rim and backboard. During a dunk, the downward force on a static rim is exerted on the backboard, rather than the pole, which can cause the backboard to break or shatter.
Pole and backboard pads can help minimize injuries and protect players from impacting the sharp corners of the backboard and the hard steel of the main pole.
An additional safety feature exclusive to Goalrilla is the Yard Guard, a defensive net system that attaches to the main pole to keep balls in the court and prevent them from rolling into a busy street.
