Has anyone used this with Basketball? I want to confirm it is strong enough for passing and it bouncing back

We've used it with soccer balls with no problem. It does come with stakes to stake it down if you are concerned about a basketball knocking it over.

I don't think the net will break at all however, because a basketball will hit more of the surface the chances of it moving and or falling over will be much greater. it only comes with stakes to hold it down so you would have to figure out another way to secure it to the court.

Hi, from my experience I use it for football and basketball. It will probably depend on how low you squat but it does give sime flexibilty

AbsolutelyWe couldn't be happier. We had been through many basketball hoops in te past. This one was a little more pricey, but well with it. We have a 12 year old and a 16 year old who play on it constantly. We actually had to mount it on 3/4" plywood and then to the wall as it was much stronger than.The boys love it and it is used pretty much every day.Hope this helps.

I don't think it would accept full-size basketballs- the ball it comes with is quite small, and light at that. And no, it is not very stable at the higher settings unless you were to fill the base full of sand or water. Even then, it tends to tip at the high settings. But we love this product- my 2 and 5 yr old don't mind the lower settings and even at the lower height (perfect for my 2 yr old), they have a great time with it.

Personally when you're setting up the rim you can adjust the breakaway spring before enclosing it. I tightened the hell out of it. Also, I have an additional amount of 150 pounds sitting on the base, sandbags/cinder blocks. It sounds good and doesn't shake like it's going to fall apart. I own 5 basketballs and even with multiple shots still smooth and consistent. Like I said it depends who's setting it up and to what liking, I don't play when it comes down to building things the correct way. Good luck.

This is NOT a good net for that.. it is tight and will kick the ball back to the source. I would recommend getting some TCB balls. This is what I use for front toss and I coach 5 teams ages 7-19 they work great and no fear of getting hit/hurt

No, it doesn't. It's really light and seems to be made of foam all the way through, so while you do get a little bounce, it's nothing like a basketball or tennis ball.

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.

The brace seems similar to those used for football. I do not know about for basketball. I would use it for hiking, provide a sleeve was worn under the brace. No tension on the hinges.

basketball should be ok footballs need to go up to 13-14 psi, and it's possible to push down that hard, I wouldn't try it's just plastic, better suited for pressures 10psi or under

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.

It's small but more like a standard basketball. I think it is REALLY loud when they shoot it against a door... the backboard and the ball are both pretty loud... my kids use theirs in the basement and I can hear it upstairs. It isn't so loud when they dribble.

It sort of bounces, but it really is intended just for shooting. You can use it indoors, but like anything you throw inside there's always the chance it could knock over a lamp or something. We have a rule that it's for shooting only, not throwing around the room!

I play basketball with it on all of the time. It will show, but it doesn't really get in the way.

I haven't had any issues with bounce. I used it for bounces off of a wall for reps and it performed as expected. I am very pleased with this ball and I would/will buy another one.

I would say "just right." It feels the most like a big trampoline of the small ones I've tried. I've had my rebounder for about two years and still use it all the time. I love it.

I would say these would not work for your purpose. You won't definitely won't get a true bounce in spots as you dribble. Also if you were to take a dive or trip and fall, the grippers on top would tear your skin up something serious. I'd rather fall on smooth concrete or tar. YMMV, but as a basketball player myself, I know these wouldn't 'cut it' for me.
