Lifetime 71522 portable hoop system

January 17, 2020 by Derrick Bornstein 2 Comments

The great thing about a portable basketball hoop is that you can place it to your yard, driveway, or any other convenient place near your home and continue improving your basketball skills. It doesn't require any specific place to set up. You can move that basketball system to your preferred location anytime.

Lifetime 71522 would be the best choice for an amateur or professional basketball player. Why? Because this residential portable hoop contains stable features, and an acrylic backboard with a steel frame all around gives it a professional look.

Key features

54-inch acrylic backboard

This backboard is one of the finest backboards among all other lifetime portable basketball hoops, many other backboards made from polycarbonate, which is inexpensive and much more vital compared to this one. But still, the performance is not as excellent as the acrylic.

Weather-resistant net and pole

The net and pole of this basketball hoop are weather resistant. This basketball hoop won't be affected even if it rains or there is bright sunshine. So you can enjoy playing with it in winter, summer, rainy, or any other season. The colour will not fade, and you can use it for a long time.

Height adjustment mechanism

The height adjustment system of this hoop is far better than any other hoop. One can adjust the height from 7.5 to 10 feet. It helps players of all levels to adjust the size as per the need.

Availability of replacements parts

Replacement parts of this hoop are available. If any parts of the pole will get damaged, then you can replace it with no trouble.

Easy assembling process

The assembly process may take a bit longer time. Some may say it is difficult to assemble this hoop. It is not. If you follow assembly guidelines well, then you can do it by yourself. You may require help from 1 or 2 persons. But for assembling, you don't need to hire any professional person.

Rim

This rim made out of pure steel. Some rims from other basketball hoops are not strong enough to resist the force from slam dunks. This rim is strong enough to endure any slam dunks.

Rust-resistant material

Most of the rims from other basketball hoops are not rust-resistant. But the encircled spring feature of 71522 basketball hoop makes it rust-resistant.

Pros

  • Solid and long-lasting
  • Pole and net are weather resistant.
  • Stable and easily movable
  • The backboard has a professional look.
  • The height adjustment system is very flexible.
  • Excellent customer service for the lifetime
  • Replacement parts are available.

Cons

  • A little bit challenging to assemble
  • Perhaps you will need two helping hands, and it might take 4 or 5 hours to assemble it.
  • Expensive compared to other portable basketball systems

Things need to improve

This basketball hoop contains the necessary features, but still, there are some areas of improvement. I am mentioning them below –

Support pole

Even the cheaper portable basketball hoops have a three-piece support pole. Sometimes it can be unsteady. Although it's not a sound support system, still most of the portable hoops use this.

Base 

Since Lifetime 71522 has a well-designed structure among other basketball hoops, 35 gallons base needs to increase to 40 gallons.

Final words

Considering the height adjustment system, backboard, rim, and other long-lasting features, I think Lifetime 71522 is a perfect item for you to choose from different alternatives. You can have one for yourself if you love playing basketball. You will not get the features from other low-priced basketball hoops that you are getting from this one.
