Product Overview
The First Team FT187R Super-Duty Rear Mount Flex Goal features a flexible rim designed to absorb player contact shock, with spring action provided by two heavy-duty wire springs. It incorporates a continuous netlock system, which helps to reduce breakage commonly associated with individually welded netlocks.
Constructed for institutional quality, the rim’s structural components are no less than 3/16" thick, supporting an official sized 5/8" high strength steel ring. The rim support measures 3/16" x 1 ½" and is welded around 60% of the bottom ring. A minimum ½" diameter CF1045 single pivot pin is welded at final assembly to prevent accidental disassembly, and a steel coverplate encloses all internal mechanisms.
The FT187R rim is punched to attach to any standard rear mount backboard and has an orange powdercoat finish. It includes a heavy-duty nylon net and mounting hardware. This product is made in the USA, weighs approximately 25#, and carries a 2-Year Superior Warranty.
