Our Mini Pro 2.0 Basketball Hoop in a customized bedroom

At JustInTymeSports we keep pushing the limits as to what a mini basketball hoop is. We are always looking for ways to make our hoops stronger and more realistic. With our recent upgrade of the Mini Pro II to the newly-named Mini Pro 2.0, the first user of the new hoop weighed in with his review via e-mail.

The rim is stiff, but it is solid.  The boys have been jaming and hanging on the rim!  That is what kids want to do!  I can even jam on the thing! GYM CLASS HERO! LOL..

I am extremely happy with the durability of the rim. We play pig and horse many nights. I would hate if the ball hit the rim and the rim flexed.  This thing is like a true hoop!   It is tough for my 7 year old to get the rim to break away when he slams. He is pretty light! However, my 10 and 11 year old boys love to follow through on the rim and hang for a second. They are doing some monster dunks and the rim is working well for them. I think that is when the tougher spring is better.  Plus, after I mounted this thing – it’s tight and not too noisey. I think the rim’s stiffness has something to do with that.  This is important when placed in a residential bedroom!  My wife hasn’t complained once about the noise of this hoop, and that is truly AMAZING! LOL…I would pay double for that!

Before I found your company, I read reviews on the cheap SKLZ basketball hoop and how noisey it is.  I wonder if it has to do with the spring being weak.  In the reviews, people were commenting on how noisey it was and that when they shot from a distance the rim-flex stunk! That would (stink)!

So – overall I am happy with with your product, your customer service and your drive for perfection!  The boys play everyday!  It is the best indoor toy!  Those basketballs are too funny…synthetic leather….like real…. I love that!

Celtics Coach Doc Rivers says Rasheed Wallace will retire.

According to this article on SI.com it appears Rasheed Wallace will end his NBA career following last week’s NBA finals against the LA Lakers. Wallace, always a character, will probably best be remembered for his short temper and ejections. As a Pistons fan I’ll remember him best for being the final piece to the puzzle in their quest for an NBA title in 2004. When fully focused, Wallace was a great help defender and tough match up on the offensive end. He was able to stretch defenses with his 3-point shooting ability, but often would fall too much in love with the long ball rather than using his skills in the post. Though he showed his age in the last season or two, Wallace filled in admirably as a starter for the Celtics in Game 7 when Kendrick Perkins went down. He finished with 11 points and 8 rebounds. Congratulations Rasheed; and enjoy retirement!

Today is officially the first day of summer. For those of us in Michigan that is great news as we can finally breathe a sigh of relief knowing there shouldn’t will not be any more snowy days for a while! For me, summer always means baseball, going to the lake, or playing in the pool. Rainy days in the summer mean movie marathons, finding a good book, or playing on a mini basketball hoop!!!

What do all of you have planned? Are you going on vacation or playing in basketball, or other sports, camps? Maybe you’re staying close to home and will enjoy your friends and neighbors all summer playing capture the flag, basketball, tag, and all the other fun games? No matter what your choices, we encourage you to stay active, safe, and enjoy the time you have off before school starts again.
