Dunk Like You Mean It—This Rim Can Handle It

Not all rims are created equal. If you’re investing in a basketball hoop for serious competition, the Spalding® Slammer Competition 180º Breakaway Basketball Goal is exactly what your gym or facility needs. This isn’t just any breakaway rim—it’s built for elite-level play, engineered to absorb impact, reduce stress on the backboard, and keep the game flowing.

Let’s break down why this rim is a game-changer:

Pro-Grade Construction for High-Intensity Play

When the game gets heated, you need a hoop that won’t back down. This front-mount, 5/8” solid steel rim is powder-coated for long-lasting durability and designed with a wrap-around brace to provide extra strength against aggressive dunks and layups. Whether your players are working on their post moves or throwing down windmill slams, this rim holds firm.

180° Breakaway Action—Because Basketball Isn’t Just a Vertical Game

Most breakaway rims flex forward and backward, but the Spalding® Slammer Competition 180° Breakaway Basketball Goal takes it a step further. Thanks to its spring pivot system, this rim offers true 180-degree flex, meaning it responds smoothly whether a player dunks straight on or from the side. That means less stress on the backboard, fewer technical fouls for hanging on the rim (sorry, ref), and longer lifespan for your hoop.

Easy-Glide Net Attachment System

Nobody likes wrestling with a net—this goal eliminates that headache. The tube tie net system allows for effortless attachment and detachment, so you can replace nets quickly before or after games. It comes with an anti-whip net, ensuring the net stays in place after every bucket instead of getting tangled up.

Universal Mounting for Hassle-Free Installation

Worried about whether this rim will fit your backboard? No problem. The universal mounting pattern (5” x 5” or 5” x 4”) ensures compatibility with most standard indoor backboards. Plus, all necessary mounting hardware is included, so you won’t need to make a last-minute hardware store run.

This isn’t some backyard hoop—it’s built for serious competition. The Spalding® Slammer Competition 180° Breakaway Basketball Goal meets NFHS specifications, making it perfect for high school and league play. If you’re upgrading your gym’s equipment, this rim checks all the boxes for durability, performance, and official game standards.
