Pop-A-Shot - Home Dual Shot | Arcade Basketball Game for Home | Sensor Scoring Hoop, 16 Game Modes, 7 Balls | Foldable for Easy Storage | Fun for All Players

We found the game to be very sturdy and fairly easy to assemble. We did use YouTube as a guide which was really helpful to avoid some of the problems other buyers have had. My husband and I are enjoying the game, but we really bought it for grandkids. Husband writing now: I am NOT handy with tools (understatement!), so it took me (age 72) 6 hours to assemble the game, but it was actually straightforward and fun to do. I only messed up a couple of times and had to redo little things. Everything works great. Suggestion: You will need a friend for the backboard assembly. It's heavy. Also, try to use your own tools. The company admits your tools will probably be better than the provided ones, which are designed for people who have absolutely no screw drivers or wrenches. A ratchet wrench is a wonderful thing! Also, get some kind of step stool when mounting the backboard because of the weight and height. Our game fit under a 93 inch basement ceiling, using one extension tube on each side. You are not giving your shot much of an arc at that height and I'd say one in 300 shots will scrape our 93" ceiling, but sometimes the scrapers end up going through the net, it's still a lot of fun. Ideal for 10 foot ceilings, but I can see where kids could use it at only 7 feet. Would I recommend this game? Sure! It's expensive, but so far seems to be well worth the money. Brings out your competitive spirit! I'll update this as soon as the grandkids visit.

Well built and a ton of fun for the entire family all ages

This game is great! Finally something that keeps my kids off screens. Its just challenging enough to be enjoyable. Assembly was not difficult but it was time consuming- I ended up doing it in chunks over a few days. One small warning- if you have it against the wall you need to cover top bolts on the backboard or they’ll gouge your wall.

Pretty easy to put together, and a whole lot of fun! 3 height settings, able to fold up against the wall, and works really well. Don't go for the cheap one, get the original! We are really enjoying this in our household.

Update- Pop A Shot reached out to me to make it right. They explained that it could have happened at the Amazon Distribution center and offered a bit of a refund and some extra basketballs which I appreciated. The game reason is great. The dings and scratches are the reason why I removed a star but the game options (16 different games you can play) and the quality is really good. The game itself is great. Assembly wasn’t difficult and instructions were easy to follow. However, the very expensive game appears used. There are dings, scratches, and dents in the poles. The black paint on the backboard is scratched off in 5 different locations. It’s very misleading because it was secured in the box and wrapped with plastic but somehow many of the pieces look like they have wear and tear which is wild to me because this was ordered brand new and was not cheap at all.

Nice quality, love the different game options! Received at Christmas- so far so good!

Sturdy, great score keeping. So happy we chose this one for our family. Great for adults and kids of all ages. adjustable. On wheels and folds up.

This was a GREAT addition to our basement. It arrived in one heavy box, with no damaged or missing pieces. Among the 10 game modes are single player, 1 vs. 1, collaborative scoring, crossfire (where you shoot diagonally) and different game durations. If I had a dime for every time my 8 year-old said "please, just one more game!" I'd have enough to buy another one. We had some adult friends over last night, and this was the game of choice, getting more play than foosball, ping pong and Stiga rod hockey combined. Scoring is nearly perfect, the only misses coming when two balls go through in very rapid succession. Assembly was fairly easy - one recommendation I have is to have a 10 mm box wrench available, it'll make holding all the nuts easier. The supplied Allen wrench works fine, though I used one from my bike tool to get a little more leverage & save my fingers some abuse. Use your own full-sized phillips head screwdriver for the few screws that need that tool. Instructions were pretty clear; the only part I messed up was that I put the net/ramp on upside down, which we fixed the following day. There are black tabs on the net for the control module wire to pass through, and they should be on the right side as you look at the rim from the shooting area. Fully assembled, it is sturdy yet easy to move - the wheels also lock to prevent it from moving around when shooters "lean in". With a few interruptions, I took my time and got it together in 3 hrs, all-in. Helps to have a partner when hanging the backboard. No electrical outlets nearby? No problem! Can run on AA batteries or be plugged in. Shuts itself off after a period of inactivity. Great quality, good value, tons of fun. We're very happy with this purchase.

Muy mal servicio para la atención en una garantía por defecto

We thought the kids would have fun throwing hoops and at least that way they would be away from the screen a few minutes everyday. We never expected us adults to enjoy Pop-a-Shot so much. It's just as fun as it is in the arcades, with the added convenience of having this at home. It comes with 15 different modes to make this challenging and fun. Installation - Videos on their site may not match your specific model or product iteration. However the manual is straightforward to follow and quite frankly there was only one catch in the whole process. This is mostly a one person job, but having a second person for a few keys steps makes it easy to balance the frame. - CATCH: As mundane as it seems, be sure the net is installed the right way or it will obstruct the sensor that counts points that is directly below the rim. We found about this as one of the sensors was not counting correctly. As in my picture when looked at from the front, you must have a clear and unobstructed view of the sensor (notice the larger whole in the net). This is specified in the installation manual, but we feel a warning box would be handy so that people know there's a functional reason why aligning the net the right way is important. Perhaps even a sticker placed on the net and net bracket that goes with it for alignment, would make this even more fool proof. Willing to bet there's at least a few people calling support every day for a faulty sensor, when in reality the solution is straightforward if you know what you're doing. - The structure is adjustable to ceilings of varying height. We have standard 8ft ceilings in the basement, and were able to use one set of extenders. That fits our use perfectly and find the height perfect for game play. The frame includes an additional set of extenders if you have taller ceilings. - You can either have the gameboard use batteries or have it plugged in as we do for added convenience. Operation: - Smooth, just works, counters are 100% accurate. Be aware that when you are granted bonus time or in certain game modes, the other person hoops may not be counted. This is by design. You may have been given bonus time, the other person may have not got to the minimum score to get that. Sturdiness - Looks and feel sturdy, even withstanding kid abuse slamming the ball as hard as they can against the board, and an 8 year old climbing the ball ramp on a few occasions. Value - Amazing value, as stay-at-home workers, my wife and I challenge each other at least once a day to go downstairs and play a couple of games. Gets the heart pumping, and gets us exercising and having fun together. And trust me, from someone who runs in the summer and lifts weights, throwing hoops rapidly is a good workout and I feel my heartbeat increase every single time, play for more than 3-5 minutes and you'll break sweat. It just feels like a cheat code to exercise, having fun and not ever having to leave the house which comes in handy during the winter months. Best for - Couples or families with kids 8+ years old. - People living in places with long winters, or excruciatingly hot summers who may want to remain active without leaving the house. Sorry got to go and throw some hoops rightaway, I'm trying to get to 100 points in game mode 1.....love it.

El producto llegó antes pero los sensores de los marcadores no funcionan, no es lo que que esperaba pues es muy costoso para que no funcione

I am an adult father of two and I am having too much fun playing with this thing! My wife and I have been having daily battles for the past month and candidly, played with it 95% more then our children. To be fair, my son is bit young still to fully enjoy, but he loves the announcer play by play and has taken to yelling out “buzzer beater” and “pop-a-shot” in random and out of context conversations but it’s become an inside joke for us and really has brought our entire family a lot of joy. We had lot of different people of varying ages over during the holidays and the pop-a-shot was a hit with everyone, old and young, ballers and noobs alike! In terms of setup - the instructions were easy to follow (there is a handy YouTube video walkthrough that’s great as well) and I was able to get it put together with a little help from my wife in 3 hours. I have had no issues with scores not being counted and while balls do occasionally bounce out, it’s always due to overzealous shooting vs structural issue. Having 7 balls to work with is awesome and the loaded games and music make it a lot of fun playing head to head or even the solitary challenges (included pic of my high score for reference!). The lone concern I have is the backboard tilts forward ever so slightly. I believe this is due to the connection points of the upright tubes not being ultra snug. It’s a very minor 2-3degree tilt so it’s mostly imperceptible but wonder if that could effect long term durability. That said I’m sure this product is head and shoulders above the quality and sturdiness of similar dual shot offerings and would highly recommend pop-a-shot as the best choice in the category. Only other issue is I wish the outdoor version was available in Canada because I would buy another one for the backyard in a heartbeat!

We bought the Pop-A-Shot this past week to keep our kids busy during the Covid Self Isolation period. It arrived right when it said it would come. It took my husband and our ten year old son 2.5 hrs to put together. It is fantastic EXCEPT that one of the two sensors doesn’t work. I am hoping the manufacturer will read this review and send another sensor asap. But otherwise the device is awesome! It is bigger than I thought it would be but folds up easily as promised. This will hopefully keep my boys busy for hours at least until the snow and ice melt outside and the kids can use our real net. It will also be great to burn off energy during rainy summer days. I would highly recommend this product! I would have given it 5 stars but for the broken sensor. ****UPDATE: I emailed the customer service address on the company’s website. Christina wrote me back within minutes and asked me to send her a photo of our unit. She wrote back immediately noting that we hung one of the nets upside down. It took two minutes to switch the net and low and behold the sensor now works!!! AMAZING customer service!!!! I would HIGHLY recommend this product! Not only have my tween boys been playing on it, my husband and I have as well!
