Nerf Night Jam Nerfoop - 1

 (6 customer reviews)

My son and his friends love this hoop. He is 11 years old and received it for his 6th birthday. So much more durable than ever other hoop this style that we have ever had in our house. The kids love that the rim comes down when you slam dunk. Other hoops like this don't do that and end up breaking. All his friends love this hoop and I have been unable to find it for years, thought they stopped making it. But tomorrow my local big box store has it in their circular and I will stock up. The ball it comes with is a little heavy and we really don't use it. Instead we use a softer basketball. It is up in a 2nd floor bedroom hanging over the closet. The kids like it so much it is up in our biggest bedroom, we emptied all the furniture out and the kids use it as a a game room. Hours and hours of play for many!

I thought the goal would be more durable since it was more expensive, however, the goal broke after 4 weeks and we have had to ducktape it several times. I believe the ball is too heavy for the goal itself. My boys were disappointed!

I like almost every Nerf product, but this one was a disappointment. The rim is so heavy that it can hardly hold itself up. And when the rim is hit by the ball, which is itself very weighty, the rim falls down immediately, even if the contact is gentle, making it virtually impossible to score without getting a swish. Plus, on account of all the weight, brick shots with this hoop are really noisy.

The thing looks nice, but is not functional.
