good for use on basketball gym floor?

Depends. If you step on the dot it will slide and could cause an injury. That is my biggest problem with this item

I use them for playing basketball when I tweaked my ankle. They provide good support, but I would not use them when looking for support only.

I actually have rubber flooring in my workout room. Which is fantastic for all equipment and cushions for aerobics. You buy it online and it helps with cushioning and sound proofing.

Not if you move around a lot. As packed, it's only good for tap practice. You need to buy more if you want to really dance on it. Additionally, it's not stable in carpet. You need it on a hard floor. So basically, it would just protect your hard wood floor from being scratched. But it's useless on carpet. I hope this helps.

Yes, this can be setup on a solid surface like a basket ball court inside or outside. If there are wind or weather conditions, you can use sand bags or any other heavy object to put over the floor legs.

James I bought this for basketball thinking it would help me grip the ball better. It definitely does that, but I will let you know it isn't tacky, its sticky! It feels kind of like when you spill pop on your tile/wood floor, very sticky.

I just used one in a gym sized room and it made a pretty cool effect. The more the merrier really, you could put one in each corner and it'd look great!

I would recommend framing the concrete up to be level with your blacktop or raising your ground up to be level. On my installation my ground was about 4 inches lower, so I framed up to be level when I did the concrete and then later added soil to be level because I didn't want anyone stepping off and rolling their ankles. I would think that you would not want a 10 inch drop while you are playing basketball around that area.

Absolutely. It's probably the best mats you can buy short of true gymnastic mats. I've used them for years in both a small membership gym and one of my personal training studios.

It sits on rubber feet, so not necessary unless you are worried about possible scuffs from the rubber feet. I'd probably put it on a thin mat to catch sweat, and protect the floor

Depends on what you are trying to do... If you are trying to protect a carpet from getting indented, or just catch your sweat as you get a workout sure. If you are trying to reduce vibration to an apartment below, maybe not so much. I row in bare feet/socks, so the foamy/rubbery PVC is better on my feet (pleasant really) than a piece of plywood. Probably better than a 1/2 plywood for stubbed toes too, unless you round the edges and corners. The surface is non-slip, and that is working for me...not sure how much slippage you would see with plywood.

I use mine on the floor and I love it. It does make it harder to get in and out of bed tho.

Absolutely! You could position it by the pool and practice rebounding for sure.Good luck!

Everything you said and a pump for the balls. i have it in my garage/man cave and it holds pretty well with dunking and across the room shots. However, the balls are a bit too rubbery and bouncy. Other than that a solid product.

You can use weight plates. I've done this when using it indoors on a gym floor. You can use more weight this way. The Sac is sturdy enough to use it this way, especially on a low-friction surface.

Yes I am using it inside a school gym right now. I place the unit on a rubber mat after removing the spikes so it doesn't slide around. It still does move around a bit but not too badly. I use the soft baseballs or tennis balls. Wicked curves with tennis balls.

I wouldn't hesitate to use it on the soles of my feet, but I think a tennis ball, racquet ball or lacrosse ball would be a bit more versatile for feet bottoms.
