General Chat / how to fix small scratch on playing surface? Tornado HM2000

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!

General Chat / Any advice

« Last post by Upoessiond1938 on February 29, 2024, 05:14:36 AM »

Hi all,
I've recently purchased a foosball table for my family and the kids have requested that I paint the players.  Just wondering if anyone has experience with this and is willing to provide some recommendations?  I imagine paint could easily chip off during game play if not done correctly.  The players are Garlando plastic fused onto the rods.  Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Rules Questions / Re: Dead Ball rule

« Last post by bolt115 on February 27, 2024, 10:52:15 AM »

Seems like a good plan,   how did it go?   Rules similar to  ITSS are more common so i am guessing that is how you are playing? Though no reason you can't have a 2nd tourny with your preferred rules.

Only one touch per rod, if the ball is stopped/controlled it must hit the wall before being advanced via a pass or shot
No passing is allowed along the same bar or any lateral moves such as push or pull shots are allowed
If the ball is pinned it is re-served (thrown down the middle to hit the back wall in doubles or restarted from defense in singles)
In singles when shooting from defense, lifting of the midfield or forward men is not allowed
