Our Experts have chosen the top basketball hoops to help you start your search.
Best In-Ground Basketball Hoops
An in-ground basketball hoop is permanently installed into the ground, usually with a concrete base. This type of hoop typically offers a much more stable and solid playing experience, as the hoop does not move when shooting. They are often more expensive and take more time and energy to install than portable hoops but do offer a better playing experience.

Best Portable Basketball Hoops
Portable basketball hoops are on wheels and usually constructed with a plastic base and metal pole. The main benefit of a portable hoop is it can be moved easily and quickly. This is perfect for a family that may need to move the hoop around the driveway or just wants a hoop to shoot around casually. Portable hoops are usually much cheaper than in-ground hoops and are easier to set up. Because of the materials used for their construction, portable hoops are usually not as stable as in-ground hoops, so the playing experience may not be as solid.

Best Wall-Mounted Basketball Hoops
Wall-mounted basketball hoops are often overlooked, but they are a great choice for many. First, they take up less space than a traditional ground-mounted hoop, so they can be installed in tighter spaces. Second, since they are mounted on a wall or ceiling, they are more secure and stable than portable hoops. Third, they can still be adjusted to different heights, allowing players of different ages and skill levels to play on the same court. Finally, since they are mounted to a wall, they are easier to move if you need to relocate the hoop.
