Title: Tournament Tables are the coin op model? how does it play/serve?
Post by: redterror on April 07, 2008, 02:37:04 PM

OK I am very close to buying either the coin-op (from upcoming tournament) or a Cyclone.

? If tournaments are played on the coin-op, how do they do serve since the ball return is only on 1 side.  does the side w/the return hand over the ball to the other side to serve?

I see a cyclone on my local ads, its going for $450, is it a good deal?

Go for the Coin-op.  If you re-sale it later you will come coloser to getting your money back.

yes you hand it over but that is true on the Cyclone too...by the coin-op, no question...$450 isn't bad for a Cyclone but nothing, in my opinion, is worth the difference, a person can almost always raise the money to buy what they really want...get a coin-op...we have lots of threads on this so I won't repeat but take your time and buy right the first time

good luck and happy hunting

Buy a coin op, they are easier to move. Commercial usage dictates that an operator will move a table at least a few times, hence the two piece hinged design.

I went to a store and played on a cyclone, it sucked. Just doesnt' feel the same. a used coin op is always better and I am saving up for one right now.

I think Mary is going to have several for sale at the Open for about 1k.  Used in about 7 tournaments.
