Rather than fixed notches, a rotating handle raises the rim anywhere between 7.54 and 10 feet and a knob behind the backboard locks the frame at that exact point. Stepless travel matters when a player sits between two standard settings. The 44-by-27.5-inch backboard is shatterproof polycarbonate with shock-proof mounting, and the 18-inch ring accepts a regulation ball. A 47-by-27.5-by-8-inch HDPE base swallows 352 pounds of sand or 200 pounds of water, and its triangular geometry resists the wobble that follows a hard rebound. Two built-in wheels roll the 56-pound stand between gym, backyard and driveway, and the frame folds for storage. Setup is quick and the net and instructions are packed alongside. Total height including the pole above the rim runs from 9.5 to 12 feet depending on where the handle is set.
