« Last post by Dean Hibbs on October 03, 2024, 11:50:54 PM »

Hey all, I recently came across a Tornado foosball table" clock " and I've never seen one before and couldn't find anyone else that's seen one either. I haven't yet figured out how to post any pics, I'll keep trying

General Chat / Re: Seeking Tips for Improving My Foosball Skills

« Last post by NormanWilkinson on September 26, 2024, 02:14:05 PM »

Hey everyone,

I am new to foosball and recently got hooked on the game. I am looking for some tips and advice to improve my skills especially when it comes to ball control and passing...
What are some beginner friendly techniques or drills that can help me get better. Also if there are any common mistakes I should avoid as a beginner I would love to know. I am eager to learn and would appreciate any suggestions or resources like videos or articles that could help me improve.
I also read on this https://www.imperialusa.com/post/how-to-get-good-at-foosball-and-improve-your-technique-sap-analytics but I could not found anything.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Looking forward to your advice.

Cheers
[Maria]

Touch and Move: Start by keeping the ball on the table and practice gently tapping it with your player figures. Try to move the ball around while maintaining control without letting it leave the table.
Single Player Control: Choose one figure (e.g., a forward) and practice dribbling the ball back and forth. This will help you develop a feel for the ball and improve your control.

General Chat / Re: How would I knock out a tightly bound pin for replacing a man?

Ok even though by now you've conquered
the stubborn "pin stuck and won't come out challenge" this is for the next time and
for everyone else that's tiered of the block
and hammer method of beating em out.
Go to harbor freight or a similar type store
purchase a heavy duty universal "chain breaker" for a motorcycle cost between $10/20 and I can promise like me you'll never again hammer out a pin to change out a foosman or handle !

All other Questions / Why a senior division

« Last post by Dean Hibbs on September 16, 2024, 01:43:35 AM »

Hi to all foosers and the curious.
In tournament play there's different divisions/categories, which pretty much clears a path for everyone to find a place at the table.
Talking to some friends about the senior (50) + division and none of us could figure out why there is a senior division?
We settled on the devision is for people 50
+ Years old that are new to playing foosball. That's gotta be right, are we right? It's for old dudes that just started playing foosball?

General Chat / Re: Irving Kaye Hurricane Table Parts

« Last post by Pet$L on September 13, 2024, 11:23:30 AM »

Hey, I also have picked up a Hurricane by Tornado table, not coin op.
Any info where to get spare parts for it?
Also is it considered a good table? I know it’s old but I think sometimes old stuffs can be as good as newer versions. Is it the case?
If I wanna upgrade it to make it better, faster or slicker, what suggestions does anyone have on this? Thank you

Post photographs of the table to get valuable comments. Given my lack of knowledge of the "Goalie box trim," I consider it a concerning indicator.

Even if money was no object for that kinda money it should provide me with a "ORAL" report on my command! 😂 Unfortunately I'm quite sure I'll never be given the opportunity to spend so wrecklessly . anyway most everyone knows you can go out and buy the best foosball table in the world for under $4,000 love your question though.

You need to post pics of table for useful feedback.. I am not sure what "Goalie box trim"  is so that is a red flag I think
