Goalrilla FT60 Basketball Hoop

The FT60 is designed as a mid-tier, high-performance option that balances durability with a slightly more streamlined build than the flagship CV series. It features a tempered glass backboard and a powder-coated steel pole, offering professional-grade rebound without the heavy-duty gusseted design found on the top-of-the-line models.

Yes, this is an in-ground system that requires a permanent concrete installation. You will need to dig a hole and pour concrete to set the anchor system before mounting the pole, so ensure you have the space and capability for a permanent fixture.

Yes, the FT60 features an adjustable height mechanism that allows you to lower the rim from the regulation 10 feet down to 7.5 feet. This makes it suitable for younger players or those practicing specific drills.

Tempered glass is the standard for competitive play because it offers a true, consistent ball rebound that acrylic cannot match. It is also more resistant to scratching and yellowing over time, though it is heavier and requires a more robust support structure.

The FT60 includes a pro-style breakaway rim designed to flex under pressure, which helps protect both the backboard and the player during dunks. While it is built for aggressive play, it is still a residential system, so avoid hanging on the rim for extended periods.

Maintenance is minimal but important for longevity. Periodically check the hardware to ensure bolts remain tight, inspect the pole for any paint chips that could lead to rust, and wipe down the backboard with a mild glass cleaner to maintain visibility.
