Goalrilla GS60C
$2,049.95 · Nov 12, 2026
Lowest price in the top half of this ranking.
Goalrilla GS72C
$2,399.95 · Nov 12, 2026
First of the rest on our growing-kids weights: the rim goes down to 7.5 ft.
Who should pick what
All four Goalrillas here share the same limited lifetime warranty (glass included on the GS models), a crank from 7.5 to 10 ft and a 9 inch anchor kit you can unbolt if you move. So the choice comes down to board size and overhang. The FT72 comes first, narrowly: full 72 by 42 inch glass and a 4 ft overhang for $2,949.95. The GS72C scores the same 9.1 for $550 less, with a 3 ft overhang and a 72 by 40 board, and it is the one we would buy.
For a two-car driveway, the GS60C ($2,049.95) is the sensible Goalrilla; the GS54C ($1,749.95) is for narrow driveways. Want the same family for less? Goalrilla also sells Goaliath and Silverback hoops, with 5-year warranties.

9.1/10ExcellentGoalrilla FT72
Best for big driveways that want Goalrilla's full 72-inch glass and the deepest Goalrilla overhang under $3,000.
- Board 72" glass 3/8"
- Pole 6" x 6"
- Overhang 4 ft
- Height 7.5 to 10 ft
- Warranty Limited lifetime
- Full 72" x 42" Clear View tempered glass, 3/8" thick
- 4 ft overhang: more room under the rim than the GS series
- Anchor kit with the option to unbolt and move the hoop
The catch: The lowest rim height is 7.5 ft, like every Goalrilla, so small kids wait a few years. And the price gap to the GS72C ($2,399.95) is $550 for one more foot of overhang, two more inches of board height and the Three-Point pole design.

9.1/10ExcellentGoalrilla GS72C
Best for anyone who wants a 72-inch glass board without paying 72-inch premium prices.
- Board 72" glass 3/8"
- Pole 6" x 6"
- Overhang 3 ft
- Height 7.5 to 10 ft
- Warranty Limited lifetime
- 72" wide tempered glass for $2,399.95
- One-piece 6" x 6" pole and a heavy-weight breakaway rim
- Lifetime warranty that includes the glass
The catch: At 72 by 40 inches the board is a touch shorter than the regulation 72 by 42 of the FT72, MVP and THOR Platinum, the overhang is 3 ft rather than 4, and the rim stops at 7.5 ft. Goalrilla also excludes damage from hanging on the rim from the warranty.

8.8/10Very goodGoalrilla GS60C
Best for two-car driveways that want Goalrilla glass and a lifetime warranty around $2,000.
- Board 60" glass 3/8"
- Pole 5.5" x 5.5"
- Overhang 2.5 ft
- Height 7.5 to 10 ft
- Warranty Limited lifetime
- 60" x 36" tempered glass, 3/8" thick
- One-piece 5.5" x 5.5" pole, half an inch more than the GS54C
- Lifetime warranty that covers the glass
The catch: The overhang tops out at 2.5 ft, so the pole sits closer to the action than on the THOR Gold or All-American, and the rim does not go below 7.5 ft. The breakaway rim is Goalrilla's medium-weight version, not the heavy one on the GS72C.

8.7/10Very goodGoalrilla GS54C
Best for one-car and narrow driveways that still want Goalrilla glass and a lifetime warranty.
- Board 54" glass 3/8"
- Pole 5" x 5"
- Overhang 2.5 ft
- Height 7.5 to 10 ft
- Warranty Limited lifetime
- 54" x 34" tempered glass, 3/8" thick
- One-piece 5" x 5" pole, welded wide-span arms
- Goalrilla limited lifetime warranty, glass included
The catch: You pay Goalrilla money for a small board: $1,749.95, only $300 less than the 60-inch GS60C. The overhang is 2.5 ft and the rim stops at 7.5 ft.
