Basketball is a game of shooting a ball through the basket/hoop of opponent team maximum time and protecting your hoop from being shot by the opponent team. Team which shoots through the opponent's hoop the maximum times scores highest points and is regarded the winner. Basketball game includes various playing gears such as ball, basketball hoop, and basketball backboard.
Basketball backboard is considered as very important part of the game. The base on which basketball hoop is fixed, backboards are available in different sizes and shapes such as rectangle and fan shaped backboard. Various sizes which are available are 36”x 48” and 36” x 60” however, the standard size which is used in professional games is 72” x 42”. Except from the size of the backboard, another thing that plays important role is its thickness. Bounce of ball depends upon the thickness of the board as thicker board can bounce back the ball effectively, which is necessary in professional games.
However thickness of backboard is not considered by casual players. Backboards also consist of a shooter’s square which helps the players in getting perfect goal during the match or during their practice session. Shooter’s square is quite helpful for beginners. A shooter’s square is painted with white and orange strip on a backboard and in some backboards; it is designed in the manufacturing of the board itself.
Different types of backboards are also available for casual and professional players. Unprofessional or players who are just playing for their interest can choose portable glass basketball backboard which can relocated to different places as per the convenience. New and emerging players can choose adjustable backboards which are integrated with flexibility features that facilitate adjusting the height of the hoop. Wall mounted backboards will be considered as most suited for professional players for their practice sessions to attain efficiency in executing the ball in the desired direction.
A basketball glass backboard is constructed with different materials vital for its sturdiness, durability and bouncing back of the ball. Various materials such as steel, aluminum, polycarbonate, acrylic, eco composite, and glass are used in their construction. Backboards made in steel, aluminum, polycarbonate, and eco composite are quite affordable, anti-corrosion and are portable; but the disadvantage of these backboards is that they provide very less bounce back to the ball.
On the contrary, glass and acrylic backboards are slightly expensive but they provide fine bounce back which is essential in professional matches.
