🔥 Why This Hoop Is Built for Dunkers
âś… Massive 60" Tempered Glass Backboard
The full‑size tempered glass backboard gives you that true, gym‑quality bounce you simply don’t get from plastic or acrylic. Bank shots feel clean, rebounds come off fast, and the overall play experience feels legit—exactly what dunk training demands.
âś… Breakaway Rim Meant to Be Attacked
The heavy‑duty breakaway rim is built to absorb impact and snap back instantly. Whether you’re throwing down one‑handers or testing your first two‑hand flush, this rim can handle aggressive finishes without hesitation.
✅ Rock‑Solid Stability
A massive dual‑ballast base holds over 50 gallons of water or sand, giving you serious stability during hard drives, rebounds, and dunk landings. No sliding. No rocking. Just confidence every time you leave the ground.
âś… Smooth Height Adjustment (7.5’–10’)
The screw‑jack lift system allows for precise, controlled height changes. Lower it for training, raise it for regulation runs, and dial it in exactly where you want it for progressive dunk development.
âś… Portable Without Compromise
Despite its tank‑like build, the multi‑wheel caster system makes this hoop surprisingly easy to move. Roll it into the perfect spot, lock it in, and you’ve got a dunk‑ready setup wherever you want to play.

Court dimensions & setup
Unleash the potential of any outdoor court! To get these distances right, you have to look at how the lines are positioned relative to the baselines. On a high school court, the backboard hangs 4 feet in from the baseline, and the free-throw line is 15 feet from the backboard. This means the free-throw line is exactly 19 feet from the baseline.
Length of half court
A regulation high school court is 84 feet long. Half court length: Exactly 42 feet.
Length from free-throw line to free-throw line
To find this, you subtract the distance from the baseline to each free-throw line (19 feet + 19 feet) from the total court length. Calculation: 84 - (19 + 19) = 46. Distance: 46 feet.
Length of "half of free-throw to free-throw"
If you are standing exactly at the midcourt line and looking toward the free-throw line: Calculation: 42 - 19 = 23. Distance: 23 feet.
Summary table for high school courts
| Segment | Length |
|---|---|
| Full Court | 84 feet |
| Half Court | 42 feet |
| FT Line to FT Line | 46 feet |
| Half Court Line to FT Line | 23 feet |
| Baseline to FT Line | 19 feet |
Interesting fact
On a Pro/College court (94 feet long), the distance from the half-court line to the free-throw line is 28 feet, making it a much longer "laundry list" of a run during a fast break! Would you like me to calculate the distance for any other specific spots, like from the three-point line to the half-court line?
Where can i get a cheap adjustable hoop to start?
You can get started with a cheap adjustable hoop at Walmart, this is the best value I have found: EDX 8.5 Foot Height Shatter-proof Outdoor Portable Basketball System. In the future, the basket will have a 4 inch by 4 inch steel pole that will allow dunkers to hang on the rim and have padding on the pole and backboard edges, and will have a spring loaded hoop to have some give.
Where can i play dunkball right now?
We are just starting, hoping to have our first official branded court in Northern California in 2026, but for now you can play DunkBall by getting two adjustable hoops together anywhere and try it out, make sure to post videos and tag us!
