- Full 72" x 42" Clear View tempered glass, 3/8" thick
- 4 ft overhang: more room under the rim than the GS series
- Anchor kit with the option to unbolt and move the hoop
- Goalrilla limited lifetime warranty
Orders typically process and ship within two business days; delivery dates depend on distance from the warehouse and freight carrier availability (Escalade).
The catch
The lowest rim height is 7.5 ft, like every Goalrilla, so small kids wait a few years. And the price gap to the GS72C ($2,399.95) is $550 for one more foot of overhang, two more inches of board height and the Three-Point pole design.
Key specs
| Board | 72" glass 3/8" |
|---|---|
| Pole | 6" x 6" |
| Overhang | 4 ft |
| Height | 7.5 to 10 ft |
| Warranty | Limited lifetime |
Installation
The Goalrilla FT72 bolts to an anchor kit set in concrete. Goalrilla gives the hole size and concrete in the manual for this model; check it before you buy bags. Let the concrete finish curing before you mount the hoop, and call 811 before you dig.
Warranty
Goalrilla limited lifetime warranty, glass included. Not covered: damage from hanging on the rim, net or backboard.
The Goalrilla FT72, in three lines
The FT72 is the Goalrilla we would buy for a large driveway. It carries a full 72 by 42 inch tempered glass board (3/8 inch), a 6 by 6 inch one-piece pole with Goalrilla's Three-Point Technology, and a 4 ft overhang, the most in Goalrilla's line at this price.
Goalrilla listed it at $2,949.95 on November 12, 2026, with a limited lifetime warranty. It bolts to a 9 inch anchor kit set in concrete, so the hoop can come with you to the next house.
The catch: the rim stops at 7.5 ft, and the GS72C gives you a 72-inch board for $550 less, with a 3 ft overhang and a 72 by 40 board.
Who it's for
Buy it if
- You have a three-car driveway or a dedicated court
- You want the pole as far out of the lane as possible
- You may move in the next ten years and want to take the hoop
Skip it if
- Your kids are under eight: a 7.5 ft minimum is high for them
- You want the cheapest 72-inch glass: the GS72C or Lifetime Mammoth costs less
- You want thicker glass: Pro Dunk uses 1/2 inch
FT vs GS: what Goalrilla changes
Goalrilla sells two 72-inch lines in our comparison. The GS72C is the value pick: 72 by 40 inch glass, a 6 inch pole and a 3 ft overhang for $2,399.95. The FT72 keeps the 6 inch pole, grows the board to the full 72 by 42 inch regulation size, adds Goalrilla's Three-Point Technology bracing and pushes the overhang to 4 ft. Our Goalrilla ranking puts the FT72 first, narrowly.
The anchor is the quiet advantage
Goalrilla, Goaliath and Silverback hoops (all from Escalade) bolt to an anchor kit: threaded bolts set in your concrete, with nuts underneath that let you level the pole. Goalrilla says you can unbolt the system and move it to a new home, where you only need a new anchor kit. A direct-bury hoop, by contrast, stays with the house.
Goalrilla recommends 12 to 13 bags of concrete mix for its installs (its instructions say 11, plus spares). Our concrete guide compares that with other brands.
Who should look elsewhere
Families with young kids. Like every Goalrilla, the FT72 adjusts from 7.5 to 10 ft. If the youngest player is five, the Pro Dunk THOR Gold goes down to 5 ft and the Goalsetter MVP to 6 ft.
