Hello, from a Tornado player contemplating retirement,
If I end up in Myrtle Beach, what some locations where there’s a table?  Is there a list block blast.  Anything +/- two hours seems reasonable. 
Thank you,
Paul
There are a few bars and lounges in Myrtle Beach that have Tornado tables, such as Tin Roof or Dave & Buster's.

Hello Maria,
My recommendations:
First, learn ball control by passing the ball around, with the opponent rods up, from left hand to right hand, using all the rods.  This is a good everyday warmup.  Eventually, they passing with the left hand and catching with the right. 
Second, put the opponent rods down and learn set shots and passes from the left hand to the right.   There are probably thousands of options but I suggest really focusing on an only a few to get started - though I’m not feeling adamant about the last part.   
The goal should be to control and advance the ball a consistent and confident manner; know what you want to do and how to do it.   
Third, is to watch video (YouTube solitaired )  - not only the pro players but beginners.  See what they do - and how the opponent reacts because you also need to have a defense.   
Lastly, find somewhere to play then go play.
Thanks you so much
Great

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.

What did you buy him? Can you give me a review of the gift you got? I was wondering what to buy too.

I used to play RP in the past and recently had the chance to try Garlando G5000. The feeling is definitely different. The Garlando table top is smooth and the ball is smaller and lighter so it moves faster and is harder to stick to the foot like on RP. The RP ball is big, heavy and the table top is slower, much easier to control. If you are used to the French style, Garlando feels a bit slippery, more about speed than ball retention.

Been playing for almost 2 months by now and I've made the decision to get a table for home; practice at home would improve my game a lot (or so I think).

Broke college student so the more affordable the better. Any help, info, or whatever is beyond welcomed.

General Chat / Garlando G5000

I just purchased an older Garlando G5000 table in decent condition. I haven't played much foosball since the seventies and had been looking for an affordable Rene Pierre for quite a while without success. How do the tables compare? The surface on the Garlando seems more slick than I remember on the RP. Does the Garlando use a smaller ball?

General Chat / vintage 1900s english football table with corner flippers
« Last post by Funksoulbrother on August 12, 2025, 04:12:51 PM »
Hi i recently purchased a very old table with a unique feature- corner kickers/ flippers.
The table has garlando style side and corner bumpers made of metal and in the corners are metal bars which are controlled by the offensive front rod. The purpose of these is so that if the ball dies on the corner, a corner kick is taken and the ball is back in play.
The makers plaque is worn and unreadable.
The table also has telescopic rods which I believe was a french invention.
From what I've been able to find , the closest table to this is a sovereign table made by Walker and Simpson.
If anyone has any advice or information regarding this style of table, please get in touch as I'm at a dead end! I don't know how to attach photos yet so I've attached my reddit post url .
