Product Overview
The First Team Tyrant Excel Basketball System is built around a robust 6 5/8ā O.D. Schedule 40 galvanized tubing vertical pole, designed for a 48ā ground bury. This pole system provides a 72ā setback from the post to the backboard. For enhanced stability, two 1ā round tubular braces support the top corners of the backboard and connect directly to the pole. The design allows the rim to mount directly through the backboard into the horizontal extension, effectively eliminating backboard stress during play. Additionally, the backboard attachment is telescoping, offering the flexibility to extend up to 78ā if desired.
The system features a 42āx 72ā rectangular steel backboard, constructed with an 11-gauge steel skin and ¼ā thick vertical struts. The backboard is finished with a white powder coat and includes an official orange shooters square. The standard rim is fabricated from 3/16ā backplates and side plates, fully welded, and consists of double 5/8ā diameter, high strength steel hoops welded in at least six places. It is finished with an orange powder coat and includes a continuous net locking system made of 3/16āx 1ā steel, complete with a nylon net (compatible with chain nets). The entire system weighs approximately 515#.
For peace of mind, the pole, backboard, and standard rim of the Tyrant Excel Basketball System are covered by a Lifetime Unconditional Warranty.
