General Chat / Re: Table For A Jail Environment

« Last post by sjstaffy on April 15, 2024, 08:30:46 PM »

Hi Steve, I have a good suggestion on where you can buy a table, they have good quality products. I also bought a foosball table from them last month and their product was so amazing, they met my expectations for their product, and they had a lot of tables where you could choose whatever fit your style and design you can check their website. This is just a good suggestion based on my experience of buying their product.

General Chat / Table For A Jail Environment

« Last post by Dutch on April 15, 2024, 01:41:13 PM »

Hello,

I've been tasked with purchasing a foosball table to be used by inmates at the jail where I work.  As you might imagine, these persons are not the most delicate bunch.  Therefore I need something durable (heavy duty rods for example).  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve

General Chat / Re: I'd like to get a very high quality table

« Last post by ulnaoperating on March 31, 2024, 09:24:18 PM »

I'd like to get a very high quality table, but I have a couple of apparently unusual requirements.
# 1 I'd like one goalie with ramped corners. I'm sick of balls bouncing off the two side goalies into the goal.
# 2 I'd like EITHER end ball returns or dual side ball returns, but not a single side ball return.

The Tornado T 1000 can't do # 2
The Tornado Elite and Sport can do # 2 but apparently can't do # 1.
The Tornado Classic can't do either.

What do you recommend?

A 30-degree slanted goalpost on the Garlando G500's distinctive design helps lessen the problem of balls rebounding off the side goalies and into the goal. Your worry regarding goalie location and corner bounces is taken care of with this function.

hi, have a tiny, scratch on the playing surface of my tornado table involving the red part of the logo/emblem.

Any tips on howto fix this or make it less visible? I could use a red marker, but it wouldn’t match exactly, and would probably not be much less noticeable.


Does anyone know what the playing surface is made out of?

General Chat / Re: Foosball Tips: Mastering the Bank Shot Technique

« Last post by HenryAlvarado on March 14, 2024, 06:05:09 AM »

Hey Foosball enthusiasts,

I've been working on improving my foosball game lately, and I wanted to share some tips on mastering the bank shot technique. The bank shot can be a game-changer if executed correctly, so let's dive into some pointers:

Angle and Placement: The key to a successful bank shot is understanding the angles of the foosball table. Practice hitting the ball at the right angle to deflect it off the wall and into the goal. Aim for the corners or the sides of the goal for optimal placement.

Timing and Control: Timing is crucial when attempting a bank shot. Wait for the ball to come to a stop or slow down before executing the shot. Use controlled force to ensure the ball doesn't rebound too far off the wall , giving your opponent a chance to counter.

Practice Makes Perfect: Like any other foosball technique, mastering the bank shot requires practice. Spend time honing your skills and experimenting with different angles and velocities to find what works best for you.

Anticipate Opponent Moves: Keep an eye on your opponent's defense and position your players accordingly. Look for openings and anticipate their movements to set up the perfect bank shot opportunity.

Stay Calm and Focused: In the heat of the suika game, it's easy to get flustered and rush your shots. Stay calm, focus on your technique, and execute the bank shot with confidence.

I hope these tips help elevate your foosball game and lead to some epic bank shot goals. Feel free to share your own insights and experiences with the bank shot technique!

Happy foosing!
