Spalding Dual Shot Electronic Basketball Game

This basketball game is fantastic. It came together quickly, and comes with 6 basketballs for fast-paced competitions. The electronic scorer/count-down timer starts the players off with a tune, then counts down 5 to 0, and then a horn goes off for the shooting to begin--just like at an arcade. The horn goes off again for 30 seconds of 3-point scoring shots. The unit is sturdy enough to stand up to the boys, and the side netting does a good job of keeping the balls in play. Our entire family played on Christmas--especially the grandparents. The true test came when 4 7yr. olds came over for a play date and were immediately drawn to the basketball game over the Wii.
You'll need some space to set this game up; it fits in our (typical 2 car) garage, however the height of the backstop prevents the automatic sectional garage door from raising, so we unplugged the garage door opener to prevent any accidents.

This basketball game is just great, exceeded my expectations!. We set it up and everyone used, 13 year olds, 17 year olds and parents (both dads and moms). Very Sturdy design (I read lots of reviews about flimsy ones) - high quality product. I recommend a double hoop game like this, much more fun than single hoop.

I bought this for my kids for Christmas & it was a lot of fun for two whole weeks before the electronic scoring malfunctioned. It now just blinks 88, and doesn't record any scores.

I called Spalding, and was told it was still covered under the 90 day warranty. When I pointed out that Amazon's product description states that there is a one year warranty, the rep told me the one year warranty applies to everything but the electronics, which is only a 90 day warranty. In addition, the part is backordered, and I won't get the part for at least six weeks.

I'm extremely unhappy that I spent a lot of money on something that lasted only two weeks.
