approximately 42 inches. I LOVE the hoop and I CAN do it now. The weight really does work.

Melissa, Thank you for your interest in our hoop! The diameter of this rim is 10.25 inches. The ideal basketball for this rim size would be 5-5.5 inches. A 7 inch basketball can work, but what we've found is most people are only able to make lay ups and dunks with that diameter basketball on this hoop set. The Mini Pro Xtreme or our Mini Pro Ultimate would be ideal for a 7 inch ball as they have a 12 inch rim. The ideal size of a basketball for any rim would be to have the ball diameter just over 50% the rim diameter. In regards to using the hoop outside, we put a hoop out every summer here in Michigan. You would see fading with the pad color depending on how much sunlight the hoop receives. Melissa, Thank you for your interest in our hoop! The diameter of this rim is 10.25 inches.

Using a ruler, I measure the inside diameter of the small end at about 15mm, or 19/32 of an inch (a little more than half an inch). It's tighter and a different shape than the photo suggests, but hardly as tight as a pin point. It looks sort of like a tiny trumpet in reverse, because the air goes in the wide end.

I don't know the diameter because it was given as a gift to a grandchild. Sorry.

Not sure exactly. It's quite small though. Definitely not the size of a regular basketball. Not even the size of a "junior" bball.

Not exactly sure , but 3.5" to 4 " . About the size of the bigger buns you buy in the store.

The player is 37" in height and the hoop is 19" in height. It's really a nice piece. My son loved it!!!

The other responses match my experience. The hoops were smaller than I expected at ~12"H.

I'm guessing its around 6 inches. The net is quite flexible.. As long as ball fits in hoop, you should be able to get it through the net. A second ball is good idea as our kids fight over it.

I went and measured it for you. It is a 13.5 inch round with a 3.0 inch circle out of the middle. :)

The top of the hoop should reach your navel , if it is higher than that it is too large from what i understand. I am also a begginer.

Couldn't tell ya now. It fits a regulation size basketball though. I bought it to display a custom ball we made as a going-away gift.

The hoop size for this machine is 4 x 4. That's the largest it will be. CORRECTION: My machine came with a 4 x 4 frame. I just checked my manual a frame up to 4 x 6-7/8 is optional. Therefore my first reply is incorrect.

The actual diameter I don't know, but I would compare it to the diameter of a dime, maybe a penny.

Straight section (wall to hoop) is almost exactly 3". Depending on the diameter of the rod you are going to use, the distance of the rod to the wall will be larger (in my case it is about 3 1/2").

Sorry LunaP, the item you are asking about is at school with my daughter so I can not measure for you. Hope some one else is available to help.
