When Goalrilla developed the Deluxe Pole Pad, player safety was a priority. That’s why it delivers 4 inches of front pole padding. They also wanted to make the Deluxe Pole Pad the toughest basketball pole padding on the planet. So, they used the toughest materials to construct the Deluxe Pole Pad so it can weather…the weather. They also added a reinforced base strip to protect the pad from lawn equipment. Since they're known for basketball systems that can handle the most brutal play, they think they have a responsibility to develop pole pad's that do the same.
