SKLZ Kick-Out Basketball Return Attachment

Works great for our family to play basketball and does exactly what it’s meant to do! You’re able to rotate it as well in the event you want to practice side shots. Fits our standard basketball hoop perfectly. Excellent buy for the price!

This has been great for me. I ran into some physical issues that caused me to have to completely relearn shooting from scratch. This lets me easily put up 400 shots in under an hour. If they are all "threes", which take longer to retrieve the ball, about 56 minutes, less time for shorter shots. But I have tips for getting the most out of this device, and fixing some shortcomings (be sure to see my photos): 1. The first thing you'll notice is that although it's nice for the return angle to be adjustable, after a while it will start walking to a different angle. Once it does, it keeps going, and you need to get on a ladder to turn it back. So, I used zip ties to lock it to returning straight forward. 2. While it's not a problem to put the clips on the rim itself, I found it better to clip them to the rings that hold the net, on the underside of the rim. Also, the clips tend to pop off in either location, requiring another ladder visit, so I use zip ties to secure them so they don't move so easily. Be sure to lap the strap over (not under) the rear rim supports, in order to lean the clips forward, and not backward where they can pop off easier. You can use additional zip ties to clip the straps to those supports. 3. I've had it up for about 16 months. Just after a year, the stitching on the straps gave out at the bottom, one by one. The straps and stitching get weathered and stiff, and will eventually fail. I've been able to get more life by punching a hole (I actually nibble the hole with sharp wire cutters), then thread zip ties through to re-attach the straps. I also used zip ties to strengthen the connection between the two halves of the chute, to ensure it lasts longer.

This is a great product at a great price if you are looking for a shot trainer and to get made baskets back to you. The reality is there is a flaw in the design with the RIM CLIPS, and made shots will knock them off the rim, especially after a few weeks of use and they seem to loosen. Very frustrating, as it happens every 5-10 shots and when you make shots.... I have read some modifications you can do to essentially cut a new hole in the straps they connect to in order to have a different place to secure them while the apparatus hangs on the basket. I don't like to order something that is supposed to work but doesn't and has to be modified by the user. Overall the product is a great idea but the clips are not even close to an ideal experience if they are popping off randomly on shots you are making. I would only recommend this product if you are able to modify the straps to get it to stay on the goal. Once one clip pops off, its unusable until you lower the goal (or get a ladder) and re-attach. Right now I can get about 6 made shots before a clip inevitably pops off. Hoping modification resolves this clear issue.

We bought this for my grandson to use on his basketball net in his driveway. It is a nice product a bit flimsy, but it retrieves the ball in the direction you turned, which helps him a lot with all the practicing he does.

Before it breaks, this hoop return works beautifully. It nicely directs the ball back to you after a shot, and you can quickly and easily adjust the direction, unlike a lot of other hoop returners. The maddening things is that with only a little bit of extra materials cost they could have made this thing highly durable. But no. The plastic clips they went with, and the nylon straps, are not made to last. I was able to nurse the thing along with some jerry-rigging, but eventually too many of the parts broke and I had to give up on it. I should clarify that with the jerry-rigging I did manage to get a couple years worth of light use out of it, so I'm not saying the thing falls apart right out of the box. If you're willing to replace it after a year or two, and your highest priority is ease of installation and being able to adjust the angle without the need for a ladder (unless you're short, in which case you'd at least need a step stool), than this is a suitable option for you.

Got it on Prime's Day deal. It's very useful when practicing alone, especially the ball no longer bounced to the street. It's easy to assemble and attach to the ring. Once it's setup, the ball will return to the expected direction. The only problem is that it's not easy to change the returning direction. I either lower the hoop or use a ladder when it's needed.

I got this for my son so he can practice while he is recovering from his injury and it is a very good quality, training aid

MOLTO UTILE IN ALLENAMENTO E FACILE DA INSTALLARE

Conforme a la description Simple a installer et fait bien le boulot

使用して数ヶ月が経ちます 問題なく使用できていますので良い商品と思います

Lever upp till förväntningarna, gör det den ska. Passformen på delarna inte jättebra vilket kan göra monteringen till lite av en utmaning
