NET1 Xplode Basketball Hoop Ready for More If your baller is growing quickly and looking for more playability, try the Xplode. This sturdy junior practice system has a 38-litre Ergo Base, with an integrated ball holder. The base is made from high-density, blow-moulded polyurethane and its rounded top has been designed specifically for youth players - reducing trip risk at the pole base during play. Pick or Roll Ergo is fully-portable - tilt backwards and easily move it around on two integrated wheels. If you'd like Xplode to stay in one place, four ground anchor stakes (supplied separately) can be embedded for added sturdiness.
