Product Overview
RuffNeck Flight EXT for Increased Under-Basket Safety
The RuffNeck Flight EXT delivers the unyielding stability of a fixed-height goal with an added emphasis on player safety and authentic rebound performance. This system is built around a massive 4.5-inch diameter galvanized steel post, which is buried a full 48 inches into the ground for a permanent, rock-solid installation that stands up to years of aggressive play. The Flight EXT model features our extended nosecone assembly, which pushes the backboard further away from the post. This creates a larger, safer area under the basket, giving players more room to execute layups and post moves without worrying about colliding with the pole.
Paired with the rigid post is a 39" x 54" fiberglass backboard, a material known for its excellent durability and lively, consistent ball response that closely mimics indoor gymnasiums. To protect the backboard from strain, our direct-mount design attaches the unbreakable fixed rim through the backboard and directly to the steel post. This crucial feature transfers all the force from dunks and hard shots into the pole itself, preserving the integrity of the backboard. For parks, schools, or demanding home courts that require a tough, permanent goal with enhanced safety, the RuffNeck Flight EXT is an exceptional choice.
