This product is a complete waste of money. Would be over priced at a 1/4 of the cost.

First, forget about trying to lay out the templates if there is even a whisper of a breeze. The paper is thin and rips easily, but aside from that, lining up the guide holes as instructed does not line up the foul line. After adjusting for that, and spending a frustrating hour and a half taping down the six templates, it was obvious that the lines would not be straight. Even the cutouts on a single sheet did not look like they were cut straight. I didn't even bother to try to paint, because I could tell it would look like crap.

The marketing is false. Quick and easy: NOT! Durable: NOT! Solid lines: No.

Useful but not necessary
I purchased this template and used it a couple of years ago. It was very easy to layout and pretty much dummy proof. However, it is made of a paper so thin that you will need to use it on a day without wind and weight it down as you are using it with something (I used barbel weights). After about 2 years, the paint I chose faded to a point where I couldn't just paint over the old marks, I had to use the template again. It stored just fine and I was able to use it again without a problem although I accidentally ripped it this time and decided to throw it away.

What I liked most about the template:
1. It was easy to setup and use and didn't cost much. I paid about $20 for it.
2. It had the inner circle portion of the paint which most templates no longer seem to have. I know that jump balls are no longer done in that area, but I used that inner circle line as a convenient spot for free throw shots for my kindergarten through third grade kids who play on an 8.5 foot goal.

What I didn't like about it:
1. The dashed lines require less paint, but I don't think I've ever seen dashed lines on a real court; at least not for all the lines. I didn't care about painting the 3-point line, but it appears that the 3-point line doesn't extend all the way to the baseline.
2. Any wind at all makes it very difficult to use the templates.

My honest opinion is that if you are unsure about the measurements, then try the template once. It's pretty cheap. If you need the curved lines (such as the 3-point line), then the template might be easier than doing it with tape and paint. If you feel confident that you can get the measurements right, then buy some painters' tape and a tape measure and do it yourself.

What a rip-off
The biggest waste of money I've ever seen. The tissue paper like stencil cannot be used unless there is absolutely no wind at all. Even then, prepare yourself for aggravation when trying to line the stencil up properly.
