A mini basketball hoop works precisely because it is in the way — in the best sense. It hangs on the door of the room, and everyone who walks past takes a shot. That is exactly what sets it apart from an outdoor stand: you go to the stand in order to play, whereas the mini hoop gets used because it is there.
Both VALENESS models hook over the door without drilling and are in place in about two minutes. If you would rather have it permanently on the wall, you can screw it on there. The back is padded so that neither the door leaf nor the wall takes any damage — the point at which cheap hoops start leaving pressure marks after a few weeks.
The backboard measures 45 × 30 cm and is made of shatterproof plastic. The rim is steel and mounted on a 60° spring: it gives way when you dunk and springs back instead of bending. This means the hoops also withstand powerful shots from adults and are not limited to children's hands.
The difference between the two models is the electronic score counter on the Counter version. It counts every basket and turns casual shooting into a game with a result — especially when there are two of you. Otherwise the two are identical in build. Each is supplied with the hoop, net, two large and two small balls, a pump plus mounting hardware and tools. Both are tested to EN 71.

Indoor fun for door and wall — with dunk spring, 4 balls and complete mounting hardware.
Like the mini hoop, plus an electronic score counter for contests in the children's room.
Both hoops are identical in build: shatterproof backboard, steel rim with dunk spring, padded back, four balls and a pump. The difference is the electronic score counter — for €44,99 instead of €39,99, shooting around turns into a contest.
No. The bracket hangs over the door leaf, no drilling is required, and the padded back sits between the metal and the door. With very thin or hollow door leaves, wall mounting is still the better option.
Yes. The steel rim is mounted on a 60° spring that absorbs the impact and springs back. That is exactly what the construction is designed for.
Mechanically the two are identical. The Counter is worth it if you regularly play in pairs, because a running score turns shooting into a competition. If you shoot on your own now and then, you do not need it.
For children, teenagers and adults alike. The height is determined by the door it hangs on — which makes it reachable for children and still not boring for adults.
