Mammoth Basketball Hoop

Lifetime Products Mammoth Basketball Hoop features some of the finest consumer basketball systems there are. This will be a quick comparison guide for you as you look through the different systems.

The 98856 Mammoth Basketball Hoop is the smallest of the goals. It features all of the same mounting equipment as the 2 larger mammoth basketball hoops but differs in the size of its backboard. The backboard of the this hoop measures 54 inches wide, 36 inches high, and 2 inches thick. This backboard is made from tempered glass. You can view our Acrylic vs. Glass comparison posting here. The other difference you will see is the size of the basketball pole. The pole measures 5x5 inches square. This is a great introductory size mammoth basketball hoop.

The 98862 Mammoth Basketball Hoop is the mid range size system. The distinguishing difference with this basketball hoop is the size of the backboard once again. This backboard measures 60 inches wide and 38 inces high and is made from tempered glass. The pole size is the same as the 98856 mamoth basketball goal, 5x5 inches square. You jump up some 300-400 dollars to get the larger backboard but this will get you closer to the actual size of an institutional size system. If you want to get the larger size backboard but don't care about the material of the backboard, you might consider the 98865 basketball hoop, which features all of the mammoth basketball hoop equipment except the backboard is acrylic.

The 98874 Mammoth Basketball Hoop is the largest of these systems. This system features specs that are closest to an institutional system, i.e. NBA, NCAA, and most high school systems.
