Foosball Tables- From Beginner to Professional
We had a foosball table from before the time I can even remember. My first memory of the game is standing underneath the table and listening to the ball roll and get kicked around by the hard feet of the players. In a little while longer, I could reach my hands up to the handles and make haphazard hits at the ball I couldn't see. Finally, oh blessed day, I was tall enough to both reach the handles and see what was happening on the top of the table. I suppose that's why I love the game so much- it started as this big mystery that I was finally able to conquer. That and the fact that I can wipe any opponent off the board, despite my lack of any athletic ability whatsoever.
Every day I would hurry to finish my homework so I could get back to the game. I played for hours against anyone who I could bribe into playing with me yet again, and if nothing could convince them, I'd play by myself. I even tried to play both sides myself, but that never worked out quite as well.
I entered a few competitions in high school (winning every time, of course) but then started to focus on more realistic things, like writing about foosball tables. And then when I was in college, I attempted to transfer my hard earned skills to the Pool Table, since pool is the game of any and all self-respecting college students. While I had a lot of fun, the techniques are not quite the same, as you might imagine. Foos handles are to pool cues what a book is to a giraffe (Exactly. It makes no sense). It was a rough few years, as I was determined to prove my worth through some ability at another kind of game. Pool was out; soon, so were ping pong, tennis, basketball, volleyball and lacrosse. Yes, I even tried to convince myself I could develop some athletic prowess. A sprained ankle and lots of bruises later, I finally came to senses again.
Finally, I decided to return to my beloved foosball tables. Oh, why had I ever left them in the first place? The ribbed handles fit perfectly into my hands, the sound of the rolling ball was like a can-opener to a cat, and my little red-jerseyed players seemed to look up at me and say, "Oh coach, we'd missed you!" I missed you too, little men.
Today I thought we could go over the basic parts of these foosball tables that are so close to my heart. Foosball is a game enjoyed by all ages, and at all levels, from novice to professional. While this makes it wonderfully versatile, it also means there is an awful lot of confusion when it comes to what is necessary for a table.
All tables are the same basic design- four legs, a cabinet, two ball returns, and eight rows of players. For normal home play, the most important thing to look for is a table with a heavy enough cabinet to prevent it from moving during play, but it's a lot easier if it's also light enough to move easily for cleaning and vacuuming. Anything around or above 150 lbs is definitely suitable for home play. For this kind of table, I highly recommend the Carrom brand. Carrom has been in the game business for over 100 years, and this is evident in its High Quality products. Their motto is "Quality Games for the Entire Family," and they hold true to this, especially with their foosball tables. They are perfect for home use, and won't break the budget, either.
If you are looking for a more professional table, options range from 200 lbs up to and above 400 lbs. Not exactly something you're going to want to move often. Shelti is a very well-respected brand for professional tables, and for good reason. The players, who often have a tendency to shift a little on the bars, are kept in place by compression bumpers. The players also have reinforced stress points which have been tested at ball speeds over 100 mph. Rods are long-wearing and easy to move, and a 3-man goalie option means full field play.
Whether beginner, amateur or professional, foosball is a game everyone can get behind. Well, more like beside. From the moment your hands touch those handles, you're going to be hooked.
