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.
