General Chat / Re: Searching for the right bearing for my table

« Last post by A6Cruiser on December 31, 2024, 10:06:15 PM »

Hi I’m looking for parts for my Costco Well Universal Foosball table. The link you placed above does not work for me. Would you mind sharing all the contact info you have for them so I can try and get the parts I need. We love the way this table looks and plays and want to be able to keep it going.

woahh actually can't believe it but Well Universal called me back today after I left them 2 messages (wasn't sure if they were closed due to the covid-19). I emailed them the parts with photos I need and they'll get back to me with a quote. I'll forsure look into reinforcing or maybe install softer bumpers on the rods as the black plastic cover seems thin and VERY cheap.

Hi,
I am looking for a used, good quality table in FL. Bonzini, Rene Pierre, Deutscher Meister or similar. Not a fan of Tornado tables.
Can pick up and pay cash for the right table.
Thanks

Rules Questions / Re: Wall count question

« Last post by Slow But Effective on December 16, 2024, 04:24:12 PM »

If a stopped ball is passed from 5 rod to 3 rod - it is still illegal even if deflect off opposing 5 rod.  There is no  active possession.  It is not a stretch to apply same logic that deflects off man and hits wall.

The rules also deal with this situation -- it's called an "indirect-pass" (not sure why the rules use the hyphen here). Stretch or not, what I'm really looking for here is a definitive *ruling*. Are there any active referees reading this? How do you rule in this case? Do you start the wall count at 1 or 0? On what basis do you make this determination?

If this forum is not the proper place to get a definitive interpretation of the rules, where does one go for that?

Hi. This is one of those ones that, in my opinion, the reffing practice differs from the rules. You've analyzed it all correctly, e.g., that active possession begins when you can reach the ball. I think the rule should be changed to reference controlled possession instead of active possession. That first bounce off the wall doesn't count if you haven't first brought the ball into control. P.S. I'm not a ref. As to where to go to get answers, your best bet is to seek out certified refs at tournaments, and the full formal route is to "request an interpretation from the ITSF Rules Commission". I'm not sure how to do that though. :-)

General Chat / Kettler brand

« Last post by Crin19 on December 16, 2024, 02:17:32 AM »

I bought a kettler table from costco today for $699.99. I havent heard much about this brand on here (im a foosball noob). Does anyone know if it is a good enough table? Any positive or negative comments on it will help. The tornados were out of my price range.

Good thing is it is costco so i can always return it.

General Chat / Foosball Tables For Sale (By Owner)

« Last post by HoldDezNutts on November 23, 2024, 10:53:08 PM »

       

Hello everybody I'm starting this post in the forum because I can't find a standard post that is strictly for "Foosball Tables For Sale". Tomorrow is also,  *I'm not going to say a good friend's, but I'll say an awesome acquaintance's*, birthday. This man is a foosball fanatic more than anybody I've ever met. If he were to see anyone, man, woman or child, spin a bar on a foosball table, then he would knock them out in public, at Chuck e cheese, a bar or at your mom's house, it doesn't matter. Long story short I'm trying to find him a good Tornado foosball table. He says tornado is the best followed by Warrior. My budget is tight and I live in the Northwest Arkansas area so if anybody could point me in the right direction or help me out I greatly appreciate it. On the real, this he's an ass hole, he is one of my best and closest friends so I really wanna surprise him with this one.

General Chat / Re: Looking for a used B90 Bonzini

« Last post by Clooneyblast on October 18, 2024, 09:23:31 AM »

Hi,

I live in Orange County and am. looking for a used B90 Bonzini, and would like ton know if anyone on this forum has one to sell.

If not, any recommendation on where to look or who to talk to?

Thank you,

Axel

Hey Axel,
I totally get your quest for a B90 Bonzini—those are such a great piece! You're in a good spot for finding one because Orange County has a couple of options for used sporting goods. I’d recommend checking out local classifieds online like Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. Sometimes, you'll find hidden gems there. You might also consider visiting some local specialty shops that deal with retro or second-hand sports equipment. If you haven't already, give them a call or pop in for a visit. You’d be surprised how helpful shop owners can be. Good luck with your search, and I hope you find the Bonzini you're looking for soon!

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

« Last post by Gunslinger 1981 on September 16, 2024, 10:55:45 PM »

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?
