Buying Air hockey tables

There are millions of people around the world that are playing air hockey and if you are a person that wants to delve into it, then you should know that playing the game doesn’t absolutely require you to have a rink. When it comes to Air hockey tables, in the majority of cases you will see them in bars, restaurants, college dorms and also in people’s homes. To play the game is something you will learn in a jiffy and when you will want to play the game, you will have to make use of mallets and pucks.


So, if you are decided and you would like to purchase some of these tables or maybe Foosball tables, there are a few things that you will need to keep in mind. Some of the companies out there that are producing them number Carrom, Playcraft, Valley Dyamo & Sportcraft. If you want to get tables for air hockey that are USAA approved, then you will certainly need to check what Valley Dyamo has to offer in this regard.


Before you will take the step into even desiring to buy such tables, you will need to take a look at your budget. For beginners, it is recommended that they will go with the cheaper models at first, like the ones that Carrom is manufacturing.





The tables that you will most of the time find spread in homes, feature very small holes on their surface. Through those small holes, there will be holes that will get to pump up air which will raise the puck to a certain height. Thus, when you will put a puck on them, the puck will get to slide with zero friction. When it comes to the air blowers, they will most of the times guarantee either a nice and very smooth experience or not, depending on the types you will want to buy.


You should know that when it comes to Pool tables, you will also be able to play at them if you will make use of special coins. Space is also an issue when you will decide to buy such tables, not only the prices, so that is why you will need to make sure that you will be very much well aware of the available room.


In the majority of cases, you will get to find tables that are meant for two and four players, yet if air hockey tournaments will be your goal, then you should know that the USAA doesn’t approve 4 players tables.
