Answer: The acrylic backboard of the 1269 is a more rigid material than the plastic backboard of the 1221. Acrylic's stiffness produces better bank shots, rebounds and holds up better than the plastic backboard. Which is wh y the 1269 usually costs a bit more than the 1221. Question: Is it regulation height Answer: Yes, but because of the assembly method, it can be imprecise at its highest setting. I ended up measuring and adjusting with wood to make sure I was getting exactly regulation height.
