FEATURES
The FX™ 72 is a solid tower of pro-level features and playability. A regulation-sized 72" backboard, breakaway 180° Pro Rim and monster-thick, 5-gauge steel main pole make this free-standing basketball goal a strong choice for homes, clubs or churches. (Patent pending.)
180° Pro rim™
Our pro-style rim offers true break-away action from a full 180 degrees allowing for slam dunks and action from any direction. (Patent pending.)
No-break backboard protection™
We will replace any broken backboard once, free-of-charge with purchase of a Mega Slam Hoop basketball system.*
*Residential use only.
