Spalding-Huffy, through its exclusive Philippine distributor Proline Sports Center, is launching its latest backboard model, the top-of-the line Gladiator which comes in 52-inch or 44-inch steel framed, see-through acrylic backboards for that truly NBA basketball experience right outside your doorstep.
Basketball players can practice their highlight film dunks all day and night with the Gladiator’s heavy-duty, solid steel Slam Jam breakaway rim.
You don’t have to be as tall as Dwayne Wade or Lebron James to show off your dazzling, aerial moves because the Gladiator’s height can be adjusted with just a pull of a lever. It is equipped with Spalding’s ExactaHeight lift system which can adjust the rim height between 7.5 feet and 10 feet. The ExactaHeight has a spring counter balance design and a pin mechanism that provides accurate adjustment in 6-inch increments and prevents movement during play.
The Gladiator comes in a three-piece pole system for easy assembly and storability angled at 20 degrees for maximum playability. A 34-gallong portable base can be filled with sand or water for stability with a front cover that acts as a built in rebounder during play.
The Gladiator is expected to complement the portable backboards ˆ which comes in either full-size 44-inch or junior-size 32-inch models —that were introduced in Proline stores a few months ago. These backboard systems are easy to assemble and adjust the height for the fledgling basketball player. Spalding also has the One-On-One toy backboards that is ideal for kids still discovering the fun of playing the country’s most popular sport.
Spalding-Huffy has also brought in combo backboard and rim systems that can be hang on the wall or garage awnings. Ballers have the choice of either Gladiator-type (42-inch acrylic) or the portable-type (44-inch eco-composite) backboards. Buyers can opt for Spalding collapsible rim with is ultra smooth spring action and all-weather net.
The Spalding-Huffy backboards are ideal for the Spalding NBA official basketballs that are also sold in all Proline stores.
