Questions & Answers

Why does the ball come to a stop if I shoot from the side? What are the chances of it breaking?

As far as I can tell, it is not The collar is firm, but loosely attached, which means that it cannot be put under too much pressure. From the side, the ball won't bounce as well. We mainly use it This is one of my son's favorite books. There has never been an instance of one breaking as it hangs lower than the rim. The number of us is two

How about the "Lifetime" brand? Will this fit? As opposed to being attached by one rod as shown in the image, our hoop is attached by two rods in a V shape. ?

It was possible to add and use a couple of "tie-on-s" This product has "ties" at the bottom of the connection point so that it can fit around

Can anyone tell me if they attached to a rim with no holes drilled? It has a hoop at the bottom and bars extending to the bottom. ?

This sounds like a rim from a slam dunk arena. You will not be able to fit this on your rim if that is the case.

Where does the attachment area attach to the goal? What is the width of the area?

Attached to the ring of the net, it acts as a loop.

The ball will no longer be run for
4/5

According to expectations, this works. Make sure that it fits your mission, and that is the only caution I would offer. This Goaliath was too big for us. In addition, it does not "hang" from the back board due to the different area on the back board where it attaches. Although it did join with an older goal so it appears to work. Thanks for taking the time to read this review. If so, please select.

You should read this review if you have trouble with the ball after installation
4/5

As soon as the ball got installed, it got stuck on the bottom of the net and the device. There's a simple hack that you can use. I took six zip ties and attacked them from the bottom of the net all the way up to the rim of the net, close to the top. Although I left the zip ties loose, they raised the net high enough so the ball, net, and plastic ball rebounder did not jam the ball in a way that it got stuck. Otherwise, I would have left them hanging. This device was about to be returned, I was going to cut the net or remove it, or I was going to There is no need for it. All you need are a few zip ties and you're done! When we want to remove the rebounder, we can simply cut the zip ties and reinstall at a later time. You can see the details in the accompanying images. It is my hope that this review has been helpful for you.

This only works 50% of the time
3/5

My driveway is flat, but my backyard slopes down so I have to run after the ball every time I make a basket (or miss). I can say that now, every time I make a basket, I am running after the ball because I bought this Back Atcha product. You should try to shoot in front of the basket for the best results. The hoop still remains behind the wing shot or the shot that hit the backboard in a wrong way or with high velocity.

Suitable for Lifetime 1269 Pro Court
5/5

This fits on a Lifetime 1269 Pro Court. The only shot it has taken so far was on the last shot. It does work, however. It appears to gently decrease the ball's height and move it forward moderately. As long as I'm only 10 feet from the goal, I shouldn't have any problems. The price is great, as we're not trying out for any sports teams. It might not be as accurate as pitching it to the free throw line, but it's certainly Neither here nor there determines where the ball will land. I find it extremely If there were thicker pieces I would have thought the plastic was inconsistent, but I think it's a good one. The plastic seems to be consistently flexible and I expect it will last for a long time. However, if it were to get cold, I would probably remove it. Perhaps I'll test this theory and report back. If it's brittle outside, perhaps I'll see how it holds up when there's ice on the ground.

Buying breaks after only a light usage isn't a good idea
3/5

I tested the product for eight weeks, but after only sporadic use, it broke. The ball was only okay at returning and I had to replace the thing. I guess I will find out if my money can be refunded.

The price is easily worth it! It is 48 inches wide and I have had it for a lifetime
5/5

Shooters who shoot perpendicular to the backboard (free throws) have a low percentage There are 50 feet between the trees. First, I tried to block any wild careens with chairs, but was only partially successful. In order to chase down my wild makes, I had to spend a lot of time practicing. ****I thought this ball return system would solve my particular problem. As far as I'm concerned, it works 100% of the time with my issue. Due to the ball getting stuck to the coil spring, I had to adjust the attachment on the coil spring. It took me less than a minute to set up my basketball hoop and under a minute to adjust it. I can easily install, remove or adjust the attachment with one hand. My issue with wild careens on bagged baskets is specifically addressed by this attachment. I read reviews that were both positive and negative about this product. There is, however, a limitation to this product, which prevents the ball from returning perfectly no matter how far it is shot. It is unlikely that you will get back three points. An inexpensive invention that prevents baskets from careening wildly, this device can be purchased for under $25. It costs at least $300 or more to purchase a device that returns perfect balls to you, not less than $25! As for the last thing, people have complained about the product breaking in reviews. I don't know if my model has been improved (newer? does not appear that it will break. A thick plastic with a high degree of durability appears to be involved. My device was able to lock on to the rim AND fit on top of the coil spring, so I do not have that problem. Others' devices have been modified with wood and duct tape to help ensure a better return and prevent the ball from sticking to the net or device. If your hoops do not have a coil spring then you can use a piece of wood and duct tape to prevent any issues with the ball getting stuck after applying the tape.

I almost bought this
3/5

Unfortunately, this didn't fit our basketball net because we have a very large backboard attached to our backboard. My husband had to adjust it to work with our basketball I have now corrected it, but it is still slightly crooked. As we didn't work with our current one the way it was intended, we probably needed to read more about how it connected to the net. If you want to buy it, you should check where it will attach to your hoop.
