Goalrilla Deluxe Weatherproof Basketball Pole Pad for Ultimate Protection and Player Safety, Black

…it does what it’s supposed to do! The cushioning is ample! Everything fits like a glove. Even the base cover is a cushion. It’s wrapped in the back with Velcro. I will update regarding “durability”. So far so good!

I have had it for some time now and it has stood up to all kinds of weather and wind. Great product.

Delivers as expected. Premium product premium look. Delivers on protective expectations for aggressive or rough play to avoid/minimize injury from pole collision.

I had an old pole pad from Goalrilla that was falling apart and generally being embarrassing. Lawn equipment had torn the bottom to shreds and it was starting to fade after about 5 years. This was a super-easy install and it really made things look better. It has the bottom pyramid-shaped pad to cover the bolts, and then the tall pole pad to go on top. The graphic on mine wasn't the gorilla, but the new Goalrilla corporate logo, which I consider an improvement.

Avoid - Do Not Buy. This item was falsely advertised. The description read as the following: "Looks and functions as if it were new. Item may not come in original packaging." Upon unboxing, the foam pad was discovered to be dirty covered with both grit and grime. There was also a tear on the bottom padding. The previous owner appears to have tried to pawn this at a garage sale - see the price tag referenced in the photo. If this is the definition of "new", I wonder what I would have received if I purchased a used one. This experience is disgusting and a waste of my time. Avoid with all costs unless you want a free box!

Looks great, kids safer, durable and sturdy. I am glad that I went with this pad, vs the cheaper ones, and even more glad that I got a used one that is perfect! Makes our in ground pro dunk basketball system look even more professional.

I waited to put on since it is winter time but the Minnesota weather is unusually warmer so I got it on. Few days later I noticed front side is pilling off as you can see on pictures and video. I still want the product but need exchange please.

Looks really cool, but disappointed in the quality. I had read that others had this issue. I just hoped we wouldn’t. Purchased on July 28, 2022, and we noticed the stitching came loose in September 2022. It hadn’t even gone through an Ohio winter yet. Probably should remove it and put it in storage for wintertime because it’s struggling to hold up for a few months in the summer. Update!!! I contacted the company and sent photos of the stitching coming loose. They immediately sent us a new replacement.
