Title: new member who needs advice
Post by: psark on November 18, 2009, 10:29:54 AM
Hello everyone,

   I am posting for the first time. I used to play a lot of foosball in college on a Tornado table. I loved it. I haven't played in several years. I just bought a house and I am looking to purchase a foosball table. I found a beautiful one in the Frontgate Catalog. It is all wood and has a parquet floor. Is anyone familiar with this table? Can anyone attest to the quality of the table? Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Looks nice, but it has 2 men on the goalie rod and 3 men where the 2 bar should be.   At a quick glance this is not like the tables we play on.    If you are getting it for looks , it looks great.   If you are getting it to learn how to play again, don't bother.   Looks like there is a broken pin on the 5 rod in the picture.     Look for a good used coin op table.

Looks like one of the guys on the five row is broken.

Thanks much to all who replied.

   I had not noticed the difference with the goalie/also the broken pin on the 5 rod.

I think I will stick with a Tornado.
