Can I replace the rim with a slam it rim for dunking? And is the body of it strong enough for dunking? Thank you and is the hoop good for a coledesac?

I would say no to the dunking. Its well built but no to sure. it probably also depends on the size of the person dunking. My 8 year yes. An adult no. Great for a coledesac. We are in one as well. It has wheels to move it

This hoop sucks btw. Just order a mood hoop, reliable and they are a much better seller. I returned mine bc it broke after the first day

I have no idea how big your boy is, but this mini-rim/board combo is the toughest I've ever seen. If there's one out there that would withstand a few thousand dunks, I'm guessing it'd be this one.

No the hoop is not wide enough. However it comes with a small ball when you order the product.

I am so sorry I can't help you. Within days the hoop flew apart. It had broke not at a joint but between joints. I enjoyed it very much but had to return it in such a short time because of the defect I cannot help you.

It's pretty sturdy besides the spring that controls the bend of the rim. The nut seems to losen over time and you have to re tighten it. It's not difficult to do obviously just annoying. Great hoop overall

We use volleyballs. Regular basketballs are too heavy. They also hurt a lot if getting hit by one in pool ball. Regular ones could also damage the backboard?

The rim is constructed pretty well but I wouldn't recommend hanging on it. That will also depend on the back board too.

Sure. It is not very heavy at all, even when you fill the base with water. The rim only sits about a foot or so off the ground. We have it on the pool deck in the 3 1/2 foot end. I'm six feet tall and can dunk flat footed.

This is not a mini basketball hoop, but it's not regulation size either. It's just slightly smaller than a regulation size hoop and comes with a slightly smaller than regulation basketball. It sounds like the Jr. would be a mini basketball hoop suitable for younger kids. Adults and teenagers alike love this hoop! Sturdy, well made, and has held up well to a lot of play over the last two and a half years. At first, I thought this hoop was a little bit expensive, but now I understand why. It's worth it, as it is much better than some of the others we've seen.

It is a rigid plastic. Don't know if it is legal for basketball but be sure and confirm the measurement recommended; mine was too small.

Faith, I am so sorry but I cannot answer that question but I would be contacting the company as these hoops are really a tough piece of equipment and I cannot imagine how a piece could break. I would be thinking that they have to have at least a 1 yr warranty if not longer. Sorry that's all I can suggest.

Yes, I have moved from inside to the outside. The only problem is that if they jump and dunk, and grab the rim, it destroys the backboard.

Yes. The platform with the hoop is the weakest and might sag a tad but the unit won't topple. I just went and leaned on it pretty good and it seemed fine.

I love mine! I'd definitely recommend it for you. It's the perfect weighted hoop.

It is not flimsy although you could try to rip it between your hands. I have used it on hoops and it was OK. The hoops were within 24" of the ground.

I would NOT consider this a dunking system. It a great inexpensive hoop to shoot around on for kids. If you are going to be knocking down some reverse jams, I would recommend you spend a little more money. For what it is worth I would also recommend a square post for the dunkers. A square post has more resistance to deflection loads so it will provide more rigidity.
