No. 7 · overall

Goalrilla GS60C

8.8/10Very good

Best for two-car driveways that want Goalrilla glass and a lifetime warranty around $2,000.

  • Board 60" glass 3/8"
  • Pole 5.5" x 5.5"
  • Overhang 2.5 ft
  • Height 7.5 to 10 ft
  • Warranty Limited lifetime
  • 60" x 36" tempered glass, 3/8" thick
  • One-piece 5.5" x 5.5" pole, half an inch more than the GS54C
  • Lifetime warranty that covers the glass

The catch: The overhang tops out at 2.5 ft, so the pole sits closer to the action than on the THOR Gold or All-American, and the rim does not go below 7.5 ft. The breakaway rim is Goalrilla's medium-weight version, not the heavy one on the GS72C.
