Just wanted to know if anyone has experience with the warrior foosball tables,
right now I have a sportcraft foosball table, and i want to upgrade to something better, I am on a pretty tight budget, and its been impossible finding a used tornado table.
should i try this brand out, or wait for a tornado table to pop up?
thanks!

Warrior table is an excellent table to upgrade to, specially with a very tight budget :)
links removed. spam. sorry.
At $599.00 + Shipping for a table recognize by the International Table Soccer Federation (ITSF) you'r getting a very good deal. You can play any style in this table.
Another option wold be Fireball, but that's more expensive. The only one similar to this model would be the Sport Model, but it is thinner on the walls and you have to pay more for shipping. If you can wait to get more money get a Fireball, but that's going to cost around 1000 dlls for the one's that are better quality than Warrior.
If you have kids the Warrior will be a better option for they'r child safety feature, and they have an extended warranty for 3 year for $ 39.99 ;)
Good luck!
Oh, the Warrior table is a bit light for my taste but it has hollow feet so you can easily add 20-40 pounds to make it more stable.

thanks for the response, Im just looking for any table right now, i want to practice and try to enter some tournaments.
Is it hard adjusting from the warrior to a tornado table? or from the warrior to a fireball?
-
From Warrior to Fireball and back I don't think you'll have any trouble.
Warrior is slower than Tornado and for that I think it is better to start with. You'll get less frustrated learning how to play. And you can do absolutely everything you can do on a Tornado and more!
The time it takes to adjust from Warrior to Tornado depends on your experience and your adaptability. It can take you an hour, two hours, half and hour. What I can tell you for sure is that the time it takes will shorten over time.
Also, by slower I mean the ball rolls slower and it also has a rubbery feeling to it that gives you more control. The actual speed of the game depends on how you play.
I hope I can be of help!

Warrior had tables setup in Nantes at the World Cup. Very playable table and worth the money.

Just picked up a warrior table. Had some shipping damage to the play field, so i haven't set the entire table up, but a few things concern me. Not sure if they'll matter to you.
1. Really difficult to reach anyone at Warrior Table Soccer. No luck at the moment.
2. Quality control may be an issue. On the replacement men, one of the looks melted. Also many of the red men have cracks on the back of their heads. Different plastic material?
3. Rods feel a little heavy. They are solid.
I can do a review if there is interest after I sort out the damage issue.

I just bought a set of the new Warrior players, rimmed them to fit on Fireball rod, can't be happier. The best Players on earth, hands down... I'm sure the with the 14mm rods they'll play even better, since those rods will have the right weight even though they are solid. It's not uncommon to use 14mm or 9/16" rods, they do it in Brazil. I'm sure you will get help from that email, Fernando's very supportive. 8)

sorry for the bad English "reamed the players" :-X
-
Thanks for the info hacker.
Got in touch :)
-
Foozul, did you notice any cracks on your players? Especially on the red guys around the punch area on the back of the head?
-
Yes my friend TypeSH, all of them have the crack but it doesn't seem to be an issue at all.
Great players, well worth it....
-
i to got a new warrior table only down fall i see is the bearings are to tight to the rods so when you put down presure to snake it sticks one bearing was bigger happened to be on one 3 rod and it works great
over all for what you pay for the table its a good table also i think i will take the side strips out and put in the new tornado side strips in to bank on the 3 row
-
Hi Marty, glad you like the new table, my question is, would you be replacing the side stripes with the Tornado white or clear stripes?
-
clear stripes that i all ready have was going to up grade a gray marble table at a bar in town but dicided against it not 100 % sure yet if this will work need to look into it as far as the ball staying on the wall not being able to stop a wall pass that sort of thing also i played with the idea of ordeing a shelti scoreing beads and adding 100lbs to the table / i have 4 tables gray marble tornado a legand table that johny lott desined for lee pepper i belive. a fireball table and the warrior table wish i would have got a chance to play on the older warrior with the solid 5/8 rods
-
The new Warrior table you got should be much better than the one before.
I got a Bonzini itsf (blue legs and added weight) Ullrich P4P, a Fireball itsf,
and Tornado T3000. Got no more room for another one. So I decided to
ream the new Warrior players to 5/8 and place them on Tornado rods.
The result paid off, really happy with the way it plays. I hope the clear
tape works out, I really like the Shelti strips but they don't stick as good
as a Tornado ones, but much better design than Tornado.
-
How do you remove the side strips? Slowly pry off with a razor blade?
Going to sound like a newb, but what is the purpose of the strip? Seems to get in way of bank shots.
So far I am liking the table very much. It's a steal for the price.

If you have any suggestions for him in what to ship them in... that would not hurt either
Whenever I need to ship something like this I use a mailing tube. They come in all diameters and lengths. You can get them at the post office, UPS store, art supply store, etc.

Mailing tube. I haved used it to ship a 7' fishing rod no problems.
Or just a long cardboard box might work too but that might be hit or miss.
I'll take some picture of what I am trying to describe on the men and send them to Evan. Thanks!

so i ended up buying the table, and it plays great, i did notice the same problem with my red men and the little cracks on the back of the head.
I also had the problem with the bearings being too tight, and had replacement bearings sent to me. didnt have any trouble contacting customer service.
overall im happy with the table,
