Fair-Court®
Our research and development team has been instrumental in the introduction of
the Fair-Court® rim-testing device designed to fairly and accurately
measure the rebound performance of the rim and entire support system. This testing
process is essential to improve the integrity and fairness of the game of basketball.
The Fair-Court® is endorsed by the National Association of Basketball
Coaches and FIBA, and is recommended in the NCAA
Men’s and Women’s rule book for court and equipment.
