"Discover if the facility has any old basketball goals or anti-whip nylon nets that need to be up- graded." is would also be a good time to check the status of the facility's backboard padding, backboards and wall padding. New Product Focus for 2023: Porter's 2023 product focus is its high school goal, the Ultra-Breakaway Competition. It has a positive lock mechanism that releases at 180-pounbd static load. When the load is taken off the rim, it goes back to game ready position. FIRST TEAM Advice for Team Dealers: Many coaches and ADs may not be aware of the condition of their existing equipment, so VP Jeff Roth says ask them specifically about their re- placement needs and, if possible, to inspect the equipment. Breakaway basketball rims oen are sloppy and not up to spec and should be replaced. Basketball backboard padding is oen needed as well. e same rule of thumb applies to volleyball posts and nets and soccer goals and nets.
