General Chat / Re: 1970's Vulcan foosball table with Tornado men?? Is this possible?

If the rod diameter matches, using a nut and bolt should work fine—just make sure they’re tight and well-balanced.

General Chat / Re: Bonzini locations?

Afternoon,

I slip into this forum from time to time and saw your post.  I found out like you, if you're along the SC/NC/Virginia coast, you're in Bonzini country....

There is a group called PeeDee Foosball on Facebook that used to play regularly during the week at Barfield's Bar & Grille.  Doozy Rowell would be the person to reach out to.  I think they have a couple of other venues they play at:  Borgata Surfside and more recently Wednesday nights at Player 1 UP at 3264 Hwy 17, Murrells Inlet.  All three would be within 15 minutes of the MB area.

I would start via Facebook and go from there.  There are some Tornado players and tables in the area as well, but it is Bonzini heavy for the most part.

Enjoy,

Dan B.

This would be a great spot for one.  Maybe use red cubes for timeout. Red discs for the abacus style.

Steve Black, Randy Jolly, Mike McCann, "Drug" Daniels and several other Pleasant Grove players

I am not a certified Ref but I believe losing control of rod would be a distraction and as described the goal would not count.

I am trying to visualize how all that spinning occurred without shooter losing control of rod?

Exactly what I'm saying. Is there a specific rule that says you have to maintain control of the rod? I think that would settle it

Rules Questions / Double hit on a single (possibly legal) spin

« Last post by cujo612 on March 05, 2025, 06:00:32 PM »

So I know the rule where it is allowed to rotate 360° before the hit and 360° after the hit. The situation we ran into was that someone just rips it, 360° hits the ball, the ball bounces off of the opponent, and on the subsequent rotation, hits the ball. So, 360°, hit, 360° hits again, and stops it 360° after that. The person that hit the ball does this in 1 motion.

They claim it’s legal because it’s 360° per hit. But there was 720° of rotation after the first hit

What would you rule?  Legal or not
