Top 5 Adjustable Basketball Goal Designs

units are an effort to blend the convenience of the rear crank with the speed of the pin adjust.  Generally, these units seem to work reasonably well for adults, but are too difficult for kids 6th grade or younger.  Higher end units with heavier backboards may require a grown adult to raise the basket.  High end and low end models are available in gas assist styles.

There are still adjustable basketball goals on the market that utilize a cable attached to a winch that is wound up or down to raise or lower the basket.  Though this style was dominant in the early years of adjustable goal development, it has mostly been phased out as better, safer options have evolved.
