Table Football Guide
Table football is a hugely popular game with kids
and adults. It’s fun, friendly and something everyone can
join in with. There are loads football tables out there, with
all kinds of great designs; sleek, classic, fun - in fact whatever
takes your fancy. However outside of design there are a few other
important features that need to be considered.
1. Size
When you are buying, particularly for children
it’s essential to be sure that the height of the table is
one the kids can reach. There are also quite a few adjustable
tables available, which is a great option for a home full of little
and big kids alike.
2. Safety
Table football can be extremely fast paced which
means that the actual football is going to be flying around all
over the place. So it’s a good idea to choose a table with
a glass top that makes sure the football is kept on the pitch,
and fun to a maximum.
Nearly all football tables now come with telescopic
rods, not solid rods. These rods do not pass through the table
wall, ensuring that neither players nor spectators get hurt in
all the excitement.
3. Structure
Table football is a big investment and so it’s
important to make sure its one that lasts. A strong table will
not only enhance gaming but also ensure that the table withstands
years of play. So look out for football tables made of hardwearing
sturdy materials like solid wood or thick ply with metal cross
braces. Also check the weight of the table, the heavier the better.
If you are considering using the football table
outside, then make sure it is weatherproof.
4. Bushes and Ball Bearings
Also to reduce the wear and tear of the table,
it is a good idea to choose rods with bushes and ball bearings.
Not only will this ensure high-speed action and smoother play
but also reduce wear and maintenance.
5. Field Surface
Some football tables have very slippery surfaces,
which will make it difficult to control the ball and manoeuvre
with precision. The ball surface will equally affect the quality
of the game. |
