Go straight to this, cost my neighbor 5 figures and is used as often as I play the violin...

You play the violin for him while he shoots? Gonna need info on its effectiveness, for research purposes.

My daughter is getting into basketball, and at the moment if I were to put a court in, I'd have to extend / flatten / and level my driveway, which most quotes have come in at 5k or higher.
Anyone grow up using there yard as a court? I'd hate to drop that cash if she loses interest in a year or two

I put the net back there and cut the grass to shape, but the ground is still bumpy. Anyone every do this or put in pavers for a court in their yard? Or any other items of advice. My guess is letting air out of the ball would allow her to focus on shooting since dribbling would be crappy

If you are serious ...As a youth coach, The best thing a driveway hoop is for is practicing
fundemwntals In repetition. Flat driveway is suifficwnt for such.

The best thing you can do is get her into playing more team ball (travel leagues in the spring and summer) and to clincs with real instructions .
