How durable is the rim for dunking?

Very durable. My kids dunk all the time. Sometimes they pull the whole unit over into the pool.

Not good for dunking. I would not recommend hanging on the rim. My grandsons dunk, but they know not to grab or pull on rim. It is steel, but the counterbalance depends on the amount of water you put in the body.

Its pretty durable, you can't hang on the rim tho. This is our second season using the basketball hoop and its holding up well!

Is very strong. However. It's getting a little rusty at the base. Probably from the water from my salt pool.

Yes, the product is hard enough to dribble basketball on. Pretty sturdy and easy to maintain. I recommend it.

I had it for 1 year, No rust! I did add a clear coat of polyurethane though. It's a tough little court. I wish it came down a little more. I have to have it in shallow water so that everyone can dunk.

We have an 18 year old and a 12 year old who use the hoop consistently. The 18 year old has friends that play too, but none of them dunk on it. We were afraid it would break. It has held up very well without anyone dunking on it.

Used 2 of them for 4 weeks and no breakage. For sure they are not strong but I think it likely they can be replaced with wheels off a standard shelf from a hardware store. Still a great buy!

I would get a bigger one. You could probably use this one for a year or two. It's not that sturdy if they wanted to slam dunk and hang on the rim. If it's just for occasional shooting practice and you also have younger kids you might get a little more use out of it.

Yeah its pretty tough. I once threw my S5, when in this case, across the room during a wizards game because I was pissed and it survived with barely no scratches, even after landing on a hard surface and sliding like 10 feet into a wall.

I have had this wheel for around a year of near-daily use and it seems to be standing up very well to the elements and regular wear. :)

very durable. about two feet is the lowest it will go due to the lenght of the center rod and your ballhead height.

I have teenage boys who play hard on this rim. I don't encourage them to dunk n hang on the rim, but it does happen. It weighs a lot when the base is full, but I still think they r a bit afraid of it falling into the pool if they hung on the rim. So they dunk without hanging. This hoop, which I took in in the winter, has held up great and we look forward to many more seasons of fun with it.

I've had mine for almost a year and use it a couple times a month. I'm careful with it but it's held up just fine. I wouldn't consider it super durable but there's that fwiw.

Nope, Its a sturdy rim. Ive hung on mine before. I would be more worried about your backboard than the rim while hanging...

I haven't had any issues with mine. I'm not sure if this will help you, but maybe you can try this link. http://m.sportsunlimitedinc.com/basketball-hoop-parts-and-accessories.html

Depend on how you're going to use it. Kids? Adults? Daily? Every once in a while? 10 minute sessions? 30 minute sessions? The more use, the more you need a sturdier model. I bought this one to replace the one that we had bought 15 yrs ago that had begun to wear where the fabric attached to the clips that hold it to the frame. Ours ReboundAir Standard that we have now is used by 2 adults who weigh 160-175 lbs each. Used by at least one of us daily. Still looks & as good as it did when we took it out of the box 2 yrs ago; feels like it has the same amount of bounce, too. From what I can tell at this point, it looks as if it will perform as well as the previous one did.

I don't think you will find a better mini hoop on the market. I host a march madness party every year and we have grown men (acting like 10 year olds) dunking on this thing. Granted, we don't hang on the rim but this goal is tuff.

Like any portable hoop, it is going to shake to some degree, but it doesn't shake that much, it is pretty sturdy and it was a great investment for me!

My kids lower it and dunk on it. It seems to be pretty sturdy. However, I'm sure that a big enough person could pull it over.
