Pop-A-Shot Official Home Dual Shot Basketball Arcade Game - Blue (Blue)

Muy mal servicio para la atención en una garantía por defecto

We thought the kids would have fun throwing hoops and at least that way they would be away from the screen a few minutes everyday. We never expected us adults to enjoy Pop-a-Shot so much. It's just as fun as it is in the arcades, with the added convenience of having this at home. It comes with 15 different modes to make this challenging and fun. Installation - Videos on their site may not match your specific model or product iteration. However the manual is straightforward to follow and quite frankly there was only one catch in the whole process. This is mostly a one person job, but having a second person for a few keys steps makes it easy to balance the frame. - CATCH: As mundane as it seems, be sure the net is installed the right way or it will obstruct the sensor that counts points that is directly below the rim. We found about this as one of the sensors was not counting correctly. As in my picture when looked at from the front, you must have a clear and unobstructed view of the sensor (notice the larger whole in the net). This is specified in the installation manual, but we feel a warning box would be handy so that people know there's a functional reason why aligning the net the right way is important. Perhaps even a sticker placed on the net and net bracket that goes with it for alignment, would make this even more fool proof. Willing to bet there's at least a few people calling support every day for a faulty sensor, when in reality the solution is straightforward if you know what you're doing. - The structure is adjustable to ceilings of varying height. We have standard 8ft ceilings in the basement, and were able to use one set of extenders. That fits our use perfectly and find the height perfect for game play. The frame includes an additional set of extenders if you have taller ceilings. - You can either have the gameboard use batteries or have it plugged in as we do for added convenience. Operation: - Smooth, just works, counters are 100% accurate. Be aware that when you are granted bonus time or in certain game modes, the other person hoops may not be counted. This is by design. You may have been given bonus time, the other person may have not got to the minimum score to get that. Sturdiness - Looks and feel sturdy, even withstanding kid abuse slamming the ball as hard as they can against the board, and an 8 year old climbing the ball ramp on a few occasions. Value - Amazing value, as stay-at-home workers, my wife and I challenge each other at least once a day to go downstairs and play a couple of games. Gets the heart pumping, and gets us exercising and having fun together. And trust me, from someone who runs in the summer and lifts weights, throwing hoops rapidly is a good workout and I feel my heartbeat increase every single time, play for more than 3-5 minutes and you'll break sweat. It just feels like a cheat code to exercise, having fun and not ever having to leave the house which comes in handy during the winter months. Best for - Couples or families with kids 8+ years old. - People living in places with long winters, or excruciatingly hot summers who may want to remain active without leaving the house. Sorry got to go and throw some hoops rightaway, I'm trying to get to 100 points in game mode 1.....love it.

We found the game to be very sturdy and fairly easy to assemble. We did use YouTube as a guide which was really helpful to avoid some of the problems other buyers have had. My husband and I are enjoying the game, but we really bought it for grandkids. Husband writing now: I am NOT handy with tools (understatement!), so it took me (age 72) 6 hours to assemble the game, but it was actually straightforward and fun to do. I only messed up a couple of times and had to redo little things. Everything works great. Suggestion: You will need a friend for the backboard assembly. It's heavy. Also, try to use your own tools. The company admits your tools will probably be better than the provided ones, which are designed for people who have absolutely no screw drivers or wrenches. A ratchet wrench is a wonderful thing! Also, get some kind of step stool when mounting the backboard because of the weight and height. Our game fit under a 93 inch basement ceiling, using one extension tube on each side. You are not giving your shot much of an arc at that height and I'd say one in 300 shots will scrape our 93" ceiling, but sometimes the scrapers end up going through the net, it's still a lot of fun. Ideal for 10 foot ceilings, but I can see where kids could use it at only 7 feet. Would I recommend this game? Sure! It's expensive, but so far seems to be well worth the money. Brings out your competitive spirit! I'll update this as soon as the grandkids visit.

El producto llegó antes pero los sensores de los marcadores no funcionan, no es lo que que esperaba pues es muy costoso para que no funcione

I am an adult father of two and I am having too much fun playing with this thing! My wife and I have been having daily battles for the past month and candidly, played with it 95% more then our children. To be fair, my son is bit young still to fully enjoy, but he loves the announcer play by play and has taken to yelling out “buzzer beater” and “pop-a-shot” in random and out of context conversations but it’s become an inside joke for us and really has brought our entire family a lot of joy. We had lot of different people of varying ages over during the holidays and the pop-a-shot was a hit with everyone, old and young, ballers and noobs alike! In terms of setup - the instructions were easy to follow (there is a handy YouTube video walkthrough that’s great as well) and I was able to get it put together with a little help from my wife in 3 hours. I have had no issues with scores not being counted and while balls do occasionally bounce out, it’s always due to overzealous shooting vs structural issue. Having 7 balls to work with is awesome and the loaded games and music make it a lot of fun playing head to head or even the solitary challenges (included pic of my high score for reference!). The lone concern I have is the backboard tilts forward ever so slightly. I believe this is due to the connection points of the upright tubes not being ultra snug. It’s a very minor 2-3degree tilt so it’s mostly imperceptible but wonder if that could effect long term durability. That said I’m sure this product is head and shoulders above the quality and sturdiness of similar dual shot offerings and would highly recommend pop-a-shot as the best choice in the category. Only other issue is I wish the outdoor version was available in Canada because I would buy another one for the backyard in a heartbeat!
