We are surrounded by the ocean (St.Croix USVI) so the rust armor was appealing to me. I had been researching systems for a month. I bought two FleXtreme Diamond systems for my school and we were not disappointed. It is what we expected "a monster". not only can it withstand our weather but it is superior in strength, quality, stability etc to several other systems that I observed around our Island. We anticipate having these systems for a long time. Searl Gordon St.Croix VI

We have five children ranging from 18 to 3, this is the best purchase we've made by far! We were concerned, always wonder if such a big purchase is the right one ... it WAS!! Looks absolutely great in our driveway, and ALL the kids can use it. Very easy to adjust, the little ones can go out there and crank it to their level on their own. But the main thing is the quality, don't spend your time trying to find something better ... you just found THE BEST!!! I looked for over a year and talked with Ryan three times before we actually bought the unit and we couldn't be happier. This is one of those basketball units where you just stare and say "Wow, I can't believe that's ours." Great product!

Excellent choice, it takes a deep hole and a couple of guys to install but it's well worth the time and expense. Its very strong and stable which makes it quiet. Also, no more "gimmie baskets". My son loves it! He plays club ball and this hoop is really helping him improve. I'm glad I spent the extra money and went w/ the Diamond System.

We were looking for a basketball goal that could hold up to our 19 children and their children and we found it. We also needed something that could adjust down low so nobody would be left out. The FleXtreme Diamond is the perfect basketball system for our growing family!

The FleXtreme® Diamond basketball system is perfect for families. An innovative dual canister quad spring, lift-assist mechanism neutralizes the weight of the backboard. This allows players of all ages to effortlessly adjust the height anywhere between 6' and 10' with the simple turn of a handle.
Don't leave anybody out! Let your young competitor get a head start at the 6' rim height. Also, this allows installation to be done from a standing position without ladders or special tools.
The FleXtreme's powerful lift-assist mechanism neutralizes the weight of the backboard allowing a 6-year-old child to easily adjust the system.
A fully enclosed adjustment mechanism keeps children and other players safe while adjusting the height of the system.
Meet the simplest adjustment mechanism available. Turn the handle clockwise to go up, counter-clockwise to go down. When you reach the height you want, stop turning. It's that simple!
The height meter is mounted so the person adjusting the system can easily read and set the system at precise heights.
The rim height indicator is set after the concrete has settled and cured to ensure accurate rim height measurements.
The adjustment handle is mounted at a height players of all ages can reach.
Bring gymnasium quality play to your home or institution with a genuine FleXtreme® Diamond basketball system. Available high-performance regulation-sized ½" thick tempered glass backboard and 8" square 7 ga. thick one-piece steel pole delivers unrivaled durability and performance that continues to exceed demanding expectations and out-perform alternatives.
Almost all gymnasiums use ½ inch thick tempered glass backboards while residential hoops use softer and thinner materials. This experiment is intended to determine how a ½ inch thick tempered glass backboard performs compared to traditional residential backboards.
The FleXtreme® Diamond backboard is encased in a ¼" thick die-cast solid aluminum frame. This adds incredible rigidity to the board and protects the edges of the glass. The glass is locked into place with ¼" steel "L" brackets at each corner. A rubber gasket lines the channel that the glass sits in as a buffer from the metal frame.
This mechanical method of mounting the glass is the same used on competitive NBA and NCAA backboards. Many other residential basketball systems use an adhesive to mount the glass which can weaken over time in the elements and can expose the edges of the glass increasing the chances of breakage.
Tempered glass is approximately 4 times heavier than acrylic. This adds mass to the system and improves the rebound response off of the backboard.
Secondly, tempered glass is harder than acrylic. This creates a much more rigid surface and eliminates the drumhead effect that deadens rebounds on acrylic boards. Also, much like your car windshield, the hard tempered glass will resist scratching and remain clear. Acrylic will scuff and become cloudy over time.
Acrylic does have its place. We recommend it in institutional applications where vandalism is likely. This is because acrylic will not shatter.
In summary, tempered glass is preferred in most situations for its performance and durability over time. If you are concerned about vandalism acrylic might be the better option for you.
Where are you really going to need stability? We have developed the diagram on the right to show where most bank shots bounce off of the backboard.
We have put together the diagram below. to show how the FleXtreme® systems add stability at the most crucial point while others ignore stability in favor of perceived aesthetic value. This also demonstrates that square joints are more rigid than curved. Click the "Shoot Bank Shot" link above to see a demonstration.
As the price of steel rises many manufactures are beginning to reduce the thickness of their main pole. This reduces the stiffness yielding a less stable, poor performing basketball system. Make sure you're getting a full 7 gauge (3/16") thick main pole.
The quickest way to determine the quality of a basketball system is to check the pole type. All premium hoops use a square (or rectangular) one-piece pole with 7 gauge or higher thickness.
Stay away from multi-piece poles. Manufactures split the poles into several pieces for shipping and distribution purposes. Right out of the box, you'll see that these joints are the weak link in the system and will weaken more over time from corrosion.

We proudly back the genuine FleXtreme basketball goal with an unsurpassed warranty. The durable design, quality construction and over 24 years of experience ensure you will enjoy a lifetime of play and never worry about maintenance or replacing your system.
Every part of the heavy-duty FleXtreme system has been designed to exceed performance expectations under extreme playing conditions. The FleXtreme goal is completely warranted for dunking and hanging on the rim. Other manufactures did not design their hoops for this kind of aggressive play and will not warrant it.
This system is currently available with our industry leading Rust Armor™ package. This will not delay your ship date.

Want to reduce the risk of weakening bolts and unsightly rust streaks |
The main structural components are dipped and coated in a galvanizing solution that will protect the raw steel from corrosive elements. These parts pass through a molten bath of zinc at a temperature of 860 degrees thoroughly coating them with a thick robust layer of zinc.
This process is commonly known as hot-dip galvanization and prevents corrosion by forming a physical barrier and by acting as a sacrificial anode. The zinc coating reacts with oxygen, water molecules and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to yield an impermeable, tenacious, insoluble layer of zinc carbonate. This level of protection is similar to that of aluminum and stainless steels.
Wikipedia was referenced for this information including the following pages Galvanization, Sacrificial Anode , and Hot-Dip Galvanizing.

All fasteners are upgraded to stainless steel ensuring your system will look great and never weaken or seize up over time. Untreated carbon steel fasteners will be replaced with durable stainless steel to ensure your goal will remain structurally sound and reduce unsightly rust streaks.
Destructive corrosives such as road and costal salt will not weaken fasteners. They also make moving your system a snap! Never worry about rusty fasteners seizing up while disassembling and reassembling the system.
Your system will be warranted against structural damage caused by corrosion for a lifetime!
We are so confident that the galvanized coating and stainless steel fasteners included in the Rust Armor™ package will eliminate any risk of corrosion that we are backing these products up with an extended lifetime warranty that covers damage caused by corrosion.
This warranty covers all environments including brutal costal conditions, salt from road clearing and dense humidity.
The FleXtreme® Diamond system is precisely manufactured with high quality materials that are designed to go together smoothly and intuitively. Assembly of the complete system can be done from a standing position without ladders or special tools using only 8 main bolts.
Follow this experienced crew through the FleXtreme® Platinum installation process. Print the FleXtreme® Diamond installation instructions and follow along while you watch!
WARNING: This video shows installation of the FleXtreme® Platinum which is similar but not exactly the same as the FleXtreme® Diamond.
DIFFERENCES: The number of J-bolts used during the first part of installation is 4 instead of the 6 which is required for the Diamond model. Other differences you might notice include bolt sizes, shorter overhang and smaller pole size.
The method of installation largely remains the same.
| Rim Height | Overhang (front of the pole to the front of the backboard) |
|---|---|
| 6' | 73.5" |
| 8' | 70" |
| 10' | 60" |
Yes, everything you need for installation is included but the concrete.
24" square and 4' deep belled out at the bottom. If you have a sandy soil you might want to go deeper.
20" behind the back of the pole at MINIMUM. This will give players enough room to get their hand beind the system to adjust the height.
Yes. You can jackhammer the area you need or use wedge anchors.
Installation times can vary but you can expect to spend around 1.5 hours installing the pier and 1.5 hours assembling the system with 1 to 5 days for the pier to cure.
The FleXtreme® Diamond basketball system is elegantly designed to be a classy, unobtrusive edition to your driveway or backyard court. The proportionate system will blend into the surroundings while offering an unmistakable professional playing experience.

Allows surroundings through for an unobtrusive feel
The very hard tempered glass will remain clear and not scratch like softer acrylic alternatives. This ensures that the backboard will remain clear and not get a dull dirty look.
Reduces rust and ensures your system will not become an eye-sore
We don't treat your system like a billboard. There is a small sticker on the backboard and extension arm that can be removed if you'd like.
Delivers a very professional look that adds prestige to your home
There is minimal clutter behind the backboard from the support structure and the pole is not as tall as others. Because of this design, the system is perceived as smaller and less obtrusive.
Add Rust Armor to ensure your system does not become and eye-sore
