Rules Questions / Re: Double hit on a single (possibly legal) spin
« Last post by bolt115 on March 06, 2025, 10:34:56 AM »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.

Rules Questions / Re: Double hit on a single (possibly legal) spin
« Last post by cujo612 on March 06, 2025, 08:35:08 AM »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

Does anyone have any leads on a reputable company that could restore it for me? I'm in AZ but would be willing to drive it to nearby states.

All other Questions / Ball type and size for Patterson Foosball Match Table
« Last post by Snthms155 on February 25, 2025, 11:17:35 PM »Hello all: I got my hands on a coin-op foosball match table, made in West Germany and imported by the American Youth Marketing Corporation. I'm m guessing late '60s. The table has a textured glass surface. The balls provided with the original table are clearly not the originals.
It's in pretty good shape -- but I've noticed that it can be a little hard to trap balls, etc. I suspect that's in part because the balls are hard -- not cork. So I ordered some Bonzini cork balls that are .35mm.
While I'm waiting for those to arrive, I'm wondering if anyone knows what the original balls would have been with this table?

« Last post by bolt115 on February 15, 2025, 08:29:34 AM »Looks like "cherry" T2000 ~20+ years old. Use keyword "cherry" for search on this forum and you will find several posts regarding table.
