Football tables are a fantastic piece of entertainment. From starting in pubs they have grown in popularity and are now the thing to have in your games room. There are currently thousands of football tables available and with only main difference being in price Big Game Hunters have produced a little list of things to look for so you get the football table that's right for you. When choosing your pool table there are three things to look at. 1. Size Size Of The Tables There is a huge range of football table's available market available in various sizes and styles. To help you decide which size would be best for you we have written a table explaining which size suits which age and use.
Budget Tables Budget tables are often smaller and are generally aimed at the children's toy market. This range of football tables are ideal to introduce your child into the game or if the table will be used occasionally. Overall they are good to use but are not as durable as other football tables. Mid Range Tables £75 - £300 Mid range tables provide a great platform to practice your football skills. They are a balance between reasonable materials and cost meaning you can get great value for money. As a whole mid range football tables have a reasonable playing surface and can withstand occasional heavy use and if looked after can stay in good condition for many years. Premium Tables £300+ High end football tables are fantastic not only for professional players or football fanatics but those who wish to develop their game. This table is ideal if it will be used often or in fast high energy games as these tables are the strongest and more durable and will be able to stand up to the abuse. As a whole these tables use better materials which mean not only will they last long but your passes will be more accurate.
What To Look For In A Table 1. Telescopic Rods Originally a football table was made up of solid rods which pass through the table however, when playing many players were often injured by rods jabbing them in the stomach often with great force. Therefore, a new style of tables were designed with telescopic rods, however these are a lot cheaper the dangerous solid rods are still easy to buy. If you intend to buy a table and especially if there will be children using it, it is important to buy a table with telescopic rods and even though it may be slightly more expensive it is so much safer. 2. Table Levellers A table leveller is a device found on the leg which allows you to adjust the height of the table legs. This is a great feature the table is always level meaning everyone has a fair game, it also make the table sturdier. 3. Detachable / Foldable legs Having detachable or foldable legs is a real bonus as it means your table can easily be stored away when not in us. Detachable legs will also not effect the stability of your table. 4. football Table Markings A tendency with cheaper football tables is that the markings will fade out over time as manufactures stick on process to apply the markings. If possible aim for a better quality table that use permanently dyed laminates to mark the football table, although more expensive the marking will last for several years longer. 5. Steel Rods Football tables have two types of steel rods hollow and solid. Hollow rods are better for the more experienced player as they speed up your game buy reducing the weight. However they are really only needed for professional players. Solid steel football rods on the other hand are more durable and are better suited to the amateur football player. 6. Materials Football tables are made out of two things either solid wood or composites. Although more expensive solid wood can look better yet there are no other extra benefits that the composite tables do not have. Composite tables are strong and will only warp over time if left in the rain, but as a whole are very durable and have the bonus of being cheaper than wooden tables. 7. Warranty If your table is good quality it should be come with a warranty. The standard warranty for football tables is one year. 8. Speed It is worth noting that the surface material (the part which your ball rolls over) will effect the speed that which your ball travels. Highly laminated surfaces will cause the ball to move quickly whereas wooden surfaces will mean the ball will not travel as fast but still quick. This decision is down to personal preference but children or those new to the game may benefit from wooden surfaces. 9. Balls Balls can make a difference to the game. If you intend to use your football table a lot and require accuracy it may be worth investing in professional balls. The standard plastic balls are fine if you just want to enjoy the game or if children are playing. 10. Handles If possible look for handles with some form of grip or texture as this will allow for good ball control and fast responses.
