What are the Different Styles of Foosball Tables?

Article Category: Recreation

Author Name: chickie maxwell

The increasing popularity of foosball in the US has contributed to the increasing demand for foosball tables. Foosball is a great way for people to bond with each other over a fun, fast-paced game. And it doesn't hurt that foosball has made an appearance in popular TV shows such as House and Friends. If you want to start playing foosball then you'll have to purchase a table for playing the game. There are several major styles of foosball for which you can buy a table, and they are as follows:

American-style foosball tables. This style of foosball is also known as Texas foosball and features three men on the goalie rod so that players can easily pull balls out of the corners, allowing for fast-paced play as well as more accurate control of the ball. In addition, balls for this style of foosball are perfectly round, which contributes to the speed of the play as well as having lightweight hollow rods to allow for faster response. Because of this rough play style, American-style tables have to be made of hardwoods in order to stand up to the wear and tear.

French-style foosball tables. Compared with American foosball, players may find the French style slow-paced by contrast since it is played on a cork surface which may make the ball feel stickier as well as using heavier metal "men". The major difference between American and French styles is the amount of control of the ball; in French foosball, balls can be held, shuffled and passed under the players' feet, allowing for a wider variety of playing strategies as players must develop not only good ball control skills but also accuracy and passing skills as well. This makes French foosball play more like the way it would actually be played in real life. In addition, tables used in French foosball have telescoping rods that do not protrude from the side, making them less-intensive as well as helping avoid injury.

German-style tables. German foosball is played on a softer surface, as well as with softer men and balls, which allows for more accurate control of the ball, even when it is pinned between the man and the playing surface, as well as higher-precision shots such as reverse shots and bank shots.

Italian-style tables. These foosball tables have a smooth surface which may be made of either glass or plastic laminate, which can make game play faster. Other features of Italian tables include rubber handles for a more comfortable and firmer grip as well as roller bearings in the rods to make them move more smoothly.

Before buying a table, you should try out the various foosball styles to see which one you like best. You should also confirm that you have enough space to accommodate the table in the room where it will be placed, since typical foosball tables will be around 4ft long and 2ft wide. Hence, if you want to buy a table you will need at least 8 sq ft as well as an allowance of 2ft on each side to accommodate the players.
