This 54" glass 2022 version Spalding Screw-Jack Glass Backboard Basketball hoop is very nice but not as sturdy as I wanted it to be. Putting it together took 7 hours but that's cause I did it myself (tip, fill base partially with water or else moving while you're putting it together will be tough, I hurt my back doing it). I spent a good amount of money and went with the glass backboard to help get closer to a basketball gym quality experience but it was still too shaky for me. When you compare it to a polycarbonate lower quality hoop as seen in my video you can tell it's way better than the polycarbonate version but also about 4 times the price. I got the polycarbonate one for $150 at Walmart, the Screw-Jack Glass Backboard Hoop got $700 on Amazon.
If you're not OCD like I am about details, then the hoop will be just fine but for me, I'll keep the polycarbonate version and upgrade to a in-group hoop later to get maximum sturdiness and a gym-like experience.
