- What’s up everybody? In today’s video I will be unboxing and installing a Goliath Prodigy 54” In-Ground Basketball Hoop. This is a high quality basketball system that is also easy to install. I picked this up at Dicks Sporting Goods on sale for $699. If you are looking for a very sturdy, high quality, system that is easy to install, look no further.

Most excellent video - gave me confidence to install the hoop (and in-ground anchor) when it arrives next week!
You got this 👊🏼
Thanks for being so detailed on everything. I'm still going back and forth between a portable and inground hoop.
Portable is fine if you REALLY weigh down the base. I've seen the wind knock them over many times but if you weigh it down, and add anchor straps to keep the base from moving they are fine. Nothing beats the sturdiness and feel of a post in ground though.
Thanks, and good job on the details and install!! I like the truck use to pivot in place. I will do the same!!
Very well done ! I’m installing a different hoop but did watch your vid anyway, subbed . Keep it up bro and happy Memorial Day weekend 22’!!
I just got this hoop and finished the ground install yesterday, Getting ready to do the hoop today while the cement cures. I am Thinking about using some red loctite on the post for a little added strength. Great Video thats for the tips!!
Maybe blue lock tight just in case you ever have to make adjustments to tightened the nuts? Either way…your going to love it.
Outstanding! Just got the same one. Will be doing the install soon. Thanks
You got this 👊🏼
Just bought this same setup. Digging the hole and pouring concrete was definitely a pain. I had to go through granite and hard clay. Took 2 days for me for this set up because of hard ground.
Will wait 4 days for it to set. Put it together. Will try the truck way also.
Thanks
Hey man can i dunk on it i want to buy one?
@@bogbog6073 yes
Awesome videos and the details is great. Easy to buy an item but the rest is a headache, thank to your video we have more ideas and options.😊
Glad I could help. You got this 👊🏼
Solid video!! Starting mine tomorrow! Thanks for the help!
Awesome 👊🏼
@@DieselLegiance thanks for the detailed video. Digging the 46 inch hole was the worst part. Do you think a sand filled pole will reduce the shaking of the rim?
Maybe but I’d be careful adding anything to a metal pole that may cause rotting damage over time? The biggest importance is getting a solid concrete base in the ground. Once you do that your golden 👊🏼
Recommend calling Miss Utility before you dig. I did. And thank you for the video!
Man, such a well done and thoughtful video!! I completed the dig and bracket install a few days ago. Had to rent and use a jackhammer for the first time to get past all the rock, and unfortunately couldn't reach past 33 inches. Wish I knew the secret of the digging bar ahead of time! I suspect it would've been helpful in getting me down the last few inches plus flaring out the base of the hole to 20 inches as recommended. Also wish I had thought to ziptie the level. Great tips. About to get started I need the goal assembly and watching through your video hase feeling pumped to get going. Will have a truck and a few neighbors on hand when standing it up, but thinking I may still mount the back board the way you did. Also appreciate you for remarking on the shaking concerns and articulating realistic expectations. The demo at the end alleviated those concerns. Again- great video and thank you so much!
MANY thanks for this very clear explanation, particularly the part about the concrete foundation. I now trust - after having watched your video - that I will be able to manage even without hiring a company to handle the concrete part. So overall, great and helpful video! Greetings from Germany :-)

Welche Firma hast du genommen? Ich überlege auch sowas zu holen, aber trau mir das mit dem Zement etc. nicht zu
I’m sorry I do not understand?
@@DieselLegiance I'm sorry, I am from germany as the person I answered to, so I asked who he hired for the concrete job in german.
Thanks for your video, this took away some fears about the installation!
No problem, it’s not hard. You can do it 👊🏼
Hi GrumpyEde, given that you understand English, I‘ll respond in English so Diesel Legiance will also understand. I actually did not hire a company and instead poured the concrete myself because Diesel Legiance’s video convinced me that even I, a short (5’3“) albeit athletic woman in my early 50s, can handle this task with my teenage son, for whom I got the basketball hoop to start with. Your question was timely because we poured the concrete just yesterday. My body is pretty soar today, but it was manageable. The hole, which I dug earlier, ended up much bigger than required so that I could also fit into it to dig with my hands (using plastic gloves of course) and a few simple tools. But it thus also required additional bags of concrete: a total of 22 x 30-kg bags of ready-mixed concrete (“Fertigbeton“), the number of which surely explains the body aches I have today. Mixing the dry concrete powder with water and pouring it into the hole necessarily required some physical effort, but it was definitely manageable. For the to-be-poured concrete column, I stacked four 40 cm x 40 cm concrete forms, each 25 cm high. I bought them at a nearby building materials store (“Baustoffgeschäft”) for about 16€ a piece. We placed the concrete forms on a roughly 15 cm layer of grit (“Splitt”) underneath which I had spread out a thick sheet of plastic („Bauplane“) to avoid contact of the freshly poured concrete with the ground water that I had initially removed as best I could but which was sure to gradually come back. Actually, the sheet of plastic covered the entire hole and beyond, and I currently use it to protect the poured concrete from drying out while it hardens. I will eventually cut off the part of the plastic sheet that sticks out above ground. I filled the remainder of the hole (so the area around the concrete forms) with concrete as well, assuming that the surrounding concrete will better support the main column laterally than gravel would. Before you get started, be sure to educate yourself about the best weather conditions for pouring concrete, how to protect it from drying out while it is hardening, tips and tricks for the best result overall … and last but not least the safety gear to wear when dealing with concrete (e.g. concrete dust is toxic for your airways, which was news to me). Thankfully, the Internet is full of free advice in this regard. By the way, although the manual refers to a minimum of 72 hours before the basket ball hoop can be screwed onto the concrete base, I plan to wait for at least 28 days to be on the safe side. I hope this helps, and thanks again to Diesel Legiance for instilling in me the confidence I needed to tackle this project myself and save quite a bit of money in the process. I think it was a success and provided me with a good workout at the same time. Greetings to you both from Bavaria :-)
Its a super good video, thanks.
Great video, thanks good job
Great video. I’m between this hoop and the lifetime hoop that is very similar to it. Any tiger ideas to help with the wobble other than more concrete? Maybe pouring concrete in the hollow space of the 4x4 metal tube? How have all the nuts, bolts, etc… held up? Thanks for your time.
All is good with my setup and I have no issues. I think the key is to make the hole in the ground deep and wide with plenty of concrete for max stabilization. Shoot for a hole at least 3’ deep and at least 14-16” in diameter. You will be good.
Great video!! Much appreciate the help!!
No problem, glad I could help!
Well done.
Good job man!
Great job 👏🏾
Santas elves just put this on the assembly line for my girls. Do you think it would be possible to use Simpson Strong Tie's THD bolts instead of the 4 anchor bolt system to pour the slab first and let it dry, and then drill the holes for the THD bolts and run them into the concrete with a impact wrench?
I’d recommend pouring the concrete and using the long anchor bolt system that comes with the hoop. I would think any smaller bolts would risk snapping and damaging the hoop.
good shit
Thanks for the video. We are buying the same hoop. We have a sprinkler line running parallel to the driveway about 6 inches off the edge. Would you install the hoop on the far side of the sprinkler line? We will use the hoop at 10 feet and want it flush to the edge as there is about a 3 inch drop off from the driveway to the ground.
If you can adjust or reroute your sprinkler line I’d say do that. If not, your better off going just behind it.
How tall is it at its max height? I have a neighbors tree and a internet wire near by and want to make sure I have room where I plan to put it.
You can take the rim up to 10’ maybe a little higher and the backboard is maybe 2’ taller than the rim. I’d say roughly 12-13’ at its tallest height.
It’s been 2 years is it still holding up with your concrete lay out?
I just bought one
It’s 100% good. No issues.
How well would you say these hold up in a tornado/ very high winds ?!?!?!?
Don’t know about tornados but I do get high winds and have no issues.
Are you still happy with this hoop? I've been looking at the more expensive Goalrilla GS54c but I can't get myself to bite the bullet on a $1500 hoop.
Absolutely, we use it all the time.
@@DieselLegiance Thx. Its mostly for my 6 year old but I want something that he'll grow into and enjoy for years...
Absolutely, my 14 year old daughter plays basketball for school and plays all the time on it. We all play when we have family gatherings. It’s a good hoop.
@DieselLegiance hi is this Basketball goal better than the spalding u-turn tempered glass 54 inch in ground basketball goal?
We use it all the time still. My daughter is on the basketball team and practices all the time. It works great and is in basically the same condition as when we first installed it.
Nice setup, Is the pad asphalt?
Yes
Great video with clear and precise instructions. Do you have and wobble after over a year?
No wobble, we still use it all the time and it’s holding up great.
I am having issues with the hydraulic system on this court. Any advice on what it could be? Thank you in advance.
I’m not sure? What seems to be the issue?
@@DieselLegiance the hydraulic system that raises the court up and down doesn’t work. It doesn’t raise up the court.
Is the pin still there that holds the handle in place to wind it up or down? Does this handle actually spin?
@@DieselLegiance yes the pin is in place and it does spin.
Hmm you may want to contact the manufacturer about getting a replacement?
I have this hoop I’m not really a fan the rim is way too bouncy.
Sorry to hear that. I have never had an issue with mine.
@@DieselLegiance actually I ended up getting a new rim so it’s all good now 👍
Nice 👍🏼
You should have gotten the 60” backboard or 72”
54 is better for size and practice
can you make a knife
Goaliath not Goliath. You might get more views with the correct name in the title.
Great catch thank you 🙏
Great video thank you!
@@DieselLegiance does the anchor kit come with the 4 metal bars
@@veptize4805yeah it comes in the box
