Hey all
I watched foosballers on espn and it's gotten me back into foosball a little... First off, I thought I used to be pretty good before I watched the movie, but I now realize how terrible I was, and I'm a LOT worse now. haha.
Long story short:
- I prefer a 1 man goalie
- I'll never play in tournaments
- I'd like to get something soon (my boys just played their first "competitive" game and I don't want to lose that momentum)
- Almost my entire foosball career has taken place on a black top Tournament Soccer - Million Dollar Game table (which I prefer to my friends new Tornado T-3000 table. I get that's sacrilege, but my brother likes the Tournament Soccer table better as well, as he still owns it. Interestingly, my friend prefers the Tournament Soccer table as well. He just asked for the "best table" and they sent him the Tornado. haha. I totally understand that our preference speaks to our age, lack of ability, and unwillingness to change and not the actual quality of the tables. If we were better, younger, and more open to change I have no doubt we'd much prefer the Tornado!)
- Just to do my due diligence, there are no Tornados in my area under 1k. There was one for $500 but it was missing the stickers and scoring apparatus (which doesn't effect game play, but I didn't want a 5 hour round trip to find out that it'd been beaten up too). Plus, it appears to have just disappeared anyway.
- There are a couple of Harvard, Carrom Burr, Atomic Gladiator, SportCraft, etc. type tables from $200-400.
- I thought I heard Dynamo was supposed to be pretty good and this is not too, too far away (but, man, I'd rather not drive that far unless it's amazing)
https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/for/d/san-francisco-foosball-table-solid/7167663596.htmlMy research makes it seem like the Warrior might be the right table for me, but I don't know. The Kick table has higher reviews on Amazon and is $200 cheaper. Am I bad enough that I might just enjoy any old table on craigslist? Based on what I've mentioned, do you guys have a suggestion for me? If I did go with a Warrior, do they still have the blemish versions available? I couldn't find anything recent about those. I do hope to play this a decent amount for the next 5 years or so, but can't imagine we'll put nearly the abuse on it that the old, black top Tournament Soccer has taken so well...
Thanks in advance!
