- 72" wide tempered glass for $2,399.95

The catch
At 72 by 40 inches the board is a touch shorter than the regulation 72 by 42 of the FT72, MVP and THOR Platinum, the overhang is 3 ft rather than 4, and the rim stops at 7.5 ft. Goalrilla also excludes damage from hanging on the rim from the warranty.
Key specs

|---|---|
| Pole | 6" x 6" |
| Overhang | 3 ft |
| Height | 7.5 to 10 ft |
| Warranty | Limited lifetime |
Installation
The Goalrilla GS72C 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 GS72C, in three lines
The GS72C is the best-value 72-inch hoop we compare. For $2,399.95 on November 12, 2026, Goalrilla gives you a 72 by 40 inch tempered glass board (3/8 inch), a one-piece 6 by 6 inch pole, a 3 ft overhang and a heavy-weight breakaway rim.
It scores 9.1, level with the FT72, and Goalrilla's limited lifetime warranty explicitly includes the glass. The 9 inch anchor kit lets you unbolt it and move it later.
The catch: 7.5 ft is as low as it goes, and the board is 40 inches tall, two inches shy of the full 42 inch regulation height.
Who it's for
Buy it if
- You want the big-board look and feel on a sensible budget
- Your driveway is two and a half to three cars wide
- Your kids are around eight and up
Skip it if
- Your youngest player is five or six
- You want the deepest overhang: the FT72 and THOR models give 4 ft
- Your driveway is one car wide
Why it ranks so close to the FT72
Price. Our formula counts price for 20%, and the GS72C undercuts the FT72 by $550. What you give up is one foot of overhang and two inches of board height; the pole, the glass thickness and the warranty are the same. On our 72-inch ranking, which weighs the pole and board more, the two sit side by side behind Pro Dunk and Goalsetter.
The welded frame
The GS series uses welded, ultra-wide span arms and a welded steel board frame, a design Goalrilla says it carries over from earlier hoops and its DC72E1. In plain words, the arms that hold the board are spread wide, which is what keeps a 72-inch board steady when a shot clangs off the side.
Before you dig
Check the overhang chart for your exact setting and pick the spot carefully: with a concrete anchor, the location is "literally set in concrete", as Goalrilla puts it. Our size guide helps you match the board to the driveway, and is Goalrilla worth it weighs the brand against Pro Dunk and Goalsetter.
