Title: need bushings/bearings recommendation
Post by: sajones97 on December 12, 2016, 03:24:07 PM

I have the Harvard Midfielder from escalade sports (discontinued). Rods are 5/8" & table thickness is 2" or 50mm.  Need a bearings/bushings recommendation - thanks!

50mm wall thickness is likely wrong... even harvard table walls are usually 1in or 1.5in (25.4mm / 38.1mm) You are probably looking for something like this ebay item:

New 2pcs 5/8" 16mm Rod 36mm Board Foosball Bushing Soccer Table Football Bearing.
US $2.38

It has been said before, and I'll say it again... foosball is way way more than these low end tables are capable of... consider modern shelti, fireball, tornado, leonhart, or bonzini tables if you love the game!

I forgot to mention warrior makes on of the best mid range table as well... definitely in top 3 picks for recreational home use; lower cost, durable, with full ball handling capability and a tournament schedule as well!
