Professional-Grade Performance for Serious Game

Mega Slam 72 is built for players who want a true pro feel at home. With an oversized 72" tempered glass backboard, a full-height steel support system, and Mega Slam’s directional flex rim as standard, this is the closest you can get to an institutional or elite training hoop in a residential setting.

This is not a lifestyle hoop. It’s a performance system, engineered to absorb force, maintain alignment, and deliver consistent rebound response year after year.

72" Tempered Glass Backboard

The defining feature of Mega Slam 72 is its 72-inch tempered glass backboard. Tempered glass remains the benchmark material for serious basketball because it delivers predictable ball response across the entire surface and maintains optical clarity over time. Unlike acrylic alternatives, it does not flex, haze, or soften with age.

The steel-framed mounting system ensures the board remains rigid and square under load, even during aggressive play.

180° Directional Flex Rim

Mega Slam 72 ships with Mega Slam’s directional flex rim fitted as standard equipment. Rather than allowing uncontrolled movement in all directions, the rim is engineered to flex only under downward force. This protects the backboard and mounting system while preserving a firm, competition-grade shooting feel.

The result is a rim that absorbs impact intelligently and returns immediately to its neutral position, maintaining consistency for shooters and safety for players.

Height Adjustment: Fast, Precise, Secure

Mega Slam 72 features a fully enclosed height adjustment system, allowing smooth changes from 7.5 ft to 10 ft.

Adjustment is:

Tool-free
Counterbalanced for ease of use
Securely locked at every height

Whether you’re setting the hoop for youth development, training sessions, or regulation play, adjustment is quick and repeatable, without sacrificing stability.

Heavy-Duty In-Ground Stability

Mega Slam 72 is designed for true in-ground installation. The steel pole system is engineered to be set into a concrete foundation, creating a fixed structure with no reliance on ballast, portability compromises, or surface anchors.

Key structural advantages:

Superior rigidity compared to portable or hybrid systems
No sway during aggressive play
Long-term alignment retention

Once installed on a correctly prepared base, the system exhibits minimal vibration and no perceptible sway, even during high-intensity play.
