Small World Toys Gerty Balls Gertie Hoop

This is the best basketball net on the market. Like a real net and rim, but flexible in that you can set it at any height. My baby used this sitting, and as he started standing, we would raise it up the glass door. Our dog popped the ball quite quickly and we were able to use every other ball in the house (including full size basketballs) until the weight and usage by our older family members, finally damages the suction cups. I have had great difficulty finding this on the market and am purchasing a backup one, and extras for gifts. BTW, my husband is a basketball coach, and the ease of storage and durability combined with quality of the product and low price make this an ubeatable hoop.....

My 7 year old loves this hoop! He is a diehard b-ball player, and practices every day. We researched for a durable indoor hoop that he could dunk with. He finally broke his first Gertie after 5 months of daily use. We happily ordered another. One note: the suction cups don't really work for serious play. We immediately duct taped the hoop to the base. Not totally pretty, but it is practical!

In addition to the net not staying on the hoop, and the suction cups not working AT ALL, the biggest problem is that the ball does NOT FIT through the hoop unless you push the ball really hard. Rather pointless if you plan on putting the hoop a little higher so the ball can be thrown in rather than dropped in. I will be returning this item.

This idea seemed like a good one and I'm pretty clever at putting these kinds of things together. That said... no can do. Suction cups do NOT WORK. There are no instructions and the small world site offers no information. Set is useless unless I can resolve this.

Apart from the fact that this comes with literally no instructions on how to hang the hoop (not that they're really needed) the major flaw is that the ball doesn't fit through the hoop! Now, I may not be a pro at basketball, but I'm pretty sure that's one of the basics. The whole ball going through the hoop part. Also, the net hangs down about 4 inches from the rim. More than anything, it's just bizarre. Not at all as pictured. We can use it with other balls, it's just plain confusing why they would include a ball that doesn't fit through the hoop.
