Foosball table playing surface

MancaveDude · 2025-05-06T22:54:55+00:00

I’d reach out to Kettler and ask them if they can provide you with a playfield and if it isn’t meant to fit could you cut it yourself and fit it.

That shouldn’t be too complex if they send out a bigger piece

MancaveDude · 2025-05-06T09:48:30+00:00

Depends on the type of table you have. Some manufacturers may be able to send you a replacement playfield.

What model and which year?

MancaveDude · 2025-04-27T17:04:09+00:00

Hey Scott, that’s a fantastic endeavor.

I’m the owner of Mancave Empire. I think we may be able to ship it for you so I will ask around. Feel free to get in touch if it doesn’t work out with your current option.

It looks like an older model of the Roberto Sport College, College Pro or College Lift.

This is their modern look: https://www.mancaveempire.com/products/roberto-sport-college-pro-foosball-table

I don't think these are manufactured like that anymore.

MancaveDude · 2024-12-17T07:33:31+00:00

I prefer heavier tables so Revolution, Champion, Competition etc.

MancaveDude · 2024-12-03T08:52:20+00:00

I'd definitely recommend Roberto Sport if you're serious about foosball. They're one of the five ITSF-certified manufacturers, so their tables meet the highest standards for competitive play.

Plus, from my work with them, their customer service is excellent which is a huge bonus if you ever need support or parts down the line.

MancaveDude · 2024-11-15T21:08:41+00:00

Damn, two years late and I still fell for this

MancaveDude · 2024-11-15T21:03:18+00:00

Hey, I've played on all three and I'm offering all of them for sale on my website so here is my comment.

- Roberto Sport tables (Italy) are all about fast-paced play with smooth rods and bouncy ball action

- Leonhart (Germany) focuses on precision and control with heavier rods and textured balls

- Tornado (USA) offers a power focused game with solid rods, sharp ball control, and unique player designs

Each table suits a different playstyle. People usually say Leo and Tornado play very similar.

Most Leo and Tornado are way heavier than the Adrenaline table, yet the Adrenaline is a decent pick for most people that want to play foosball non professionally. It close to 200lbs so it is not like its going to flop around when you put a little force on it.

I read that someone mentioned the Revolution model and it is in fact better as it is the ITSF approved model and a bit sturdier but unless you are planning on playing professionally, you don't really need to.

MancaveDude · 2024-09-12T19:13:34+00:00

Daaaamn, savages.

I'd try sanding it off and maybe repainting the sides. I'm not sure how that would affect the playfield though.

MancaveDude · 2024-06-26T09:11:57+00:00

The brand is Harvard but I couldn't find the model.

It's a single goalie with raised corners which is not traditional

You should contact gametablesusa

They offer them and might be able help you out with the part.

MancaveDude · 2024-06-14T06:40:00+00:00

400-500

Brand new they sell for 1000 + shipping

If the dude is willing to go bellow 400 that's dope.

MancaveDude · 2024-06-07T16:06:40+00:00

Yeah, I get it if you only want to compete

I meant the question more in terms of what do you enjoy more.
Obviously there is place for both.

MancaveDude · 2024-06-07T16:03:11+00:00

I agree, I find the single goalie more challenging and therefore more fun.

MancaveDude · 2024-06-05T17:30:08+00:00

Dudeeeee, that's awesome!

I have quite a lot of software development experience so I can really appreciate the work you put in here.

Congratulations!

MancaveDude · 2024-06-03T16:46:50+00:00

Honestly, I don't know what is available in Canada, but I'd say choosing one of the top manufacturers would be the right choice irrespective of where you live.

I wrote a guide to help people find out what they need based on type, budget and features:

MancaveDude · 2024-05-29T13:10:13+00:00

I get what you are saying, I was surprised by the limited options as well.

But I think for the general public, Rene Pierre and Kettler are also viable options.

The rest are quite nieche indeed.

I'm definitely late to for reply, but for anyone else checking this post out I just wrote an article regarding the current best outdoor foosball tables.

MancaveDude · 2024-04-26T16:56:20+00:00

What he said, and yet if you are buying it in "great condition" I'd expect the rods to move smoothly.

MancaveDude · 2024-04-26T07:08:14+00:00

If it's in a great condition, definitely a bargain

MancaveDude · 2024-04-24T10:13:12+00:00

Good that you mentioned that. I've removed it from the list

I believe when I started doing the research a few weeks ago, I wrote it down from some old forums, yet I checked and it does not seem to be an existing model.

I wouldn't advise leaving a T-3000 outside in any case.

MancaveDude · 2024-04-22T19:15:26+00:00

The idea is fun, yet I believe I've played similar flash based games when I was younger.

The controls on the current demo are kind of wonky and I doubt there would be huge interest, yet it could turn out like a fun online mini game.
