Best for two-car driveways with kids from kindergarten to varsity.
Board 60" glass 1/2"
Pole 6" x 6", 5-gauge
Overhang 4 ft
Height 5 to 10 ft
Warranty Limited lifetime
Adjusts anywhere from 5 ft to 10 ft, the lowest rim on our list
60" x 36" tempered glass, 1/2" thick
One-piece 6" x 6" pole in 5-gauge steel, 4 ft overhang
The catch: You pay premium money for a mid-size board. At $2,399 (sale price, $2,900 listed, sale ending November 27 per Pro Dunk), it costs more than the 72-inch Goalrilla GS72C. And the 20 inch square, 3 ft deep hole still takes 15 to 20 bags of concrete.

Board 60" glass 3/8"
Pole 5.5" x 5.5"

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.
