Portable systems, like The Beast, require little installation and offer ultimate convenience for residential play.

Our Spalding residential basketball systems typically come with options available for different backboard materials and it is important to consider the differences when selecting a basketball system. Spalding “The Beast” comes with a 60-Inch glass backboard.

Glass provides the most professional level of play but is also typically the most expensive of backboard materials. Glass provides the most bounce of backboard materials, allowing you to play like a pro.

Acrylic is our second most popular backboard material with more bounce than polycarbonate but less bounce than glass. Acrylic usually weighs less than glass, can be more durable and is a good material for players of all levels.

Polycarbonate is a great residential option for beginners as it provides durability and is a less expensive material. On the other hand, polycarbonate provides less bounce than other materials.
