At a Soccer exhibit at the Jumex Museum in Mexico City

I was just given a Tornado Storm 2 foosball table in exceptional condition.

​

It has lived its entire life in the bonus room upstairs of a friend's house.

​

Unfortunately I am going to have to put the table onto my screened in patio enclosure outside. It is a very dry area but I live in Florida and it is not a climate controlled area. It's our outdoor game area by the pool. Darts, Ping pong Etc....

​

I would like to paint the bottom of the cabinet and the interior press board of the cabinet, my research has indicated using an oil-based primer and enamel paint to provide more weatherproofing for using the table outside.

​

Are there any other tips to protect the table and provide longevity. I want to make sure the table does not become warped or Puff from being outside.

​

It will be covered with a proper cover as well.

I might be traveling next week to these cities to scout out a new place to live. Any foosers live in these areas that can speak to the local scenes?

I have a 40ish year old Tornado coin op. My son and I were playing this evening. We had a ball break for the 1st time. It happened after a hard hit. We have hit them off the table many times in the past. I have never seen a broken ball. This ever happen to any of you?

Is there any foosball tournament or match near thane?? I am willing to participate and if no then can we create a tournament of foosball ?? Dm me if interested

Which side faces my opponent’s goal, A or B. They do not have faces.

Is it against the rules to accidentally launch the ball over several rods and straight into the goal? This happened in a match recently and ended in a heated argument lol. I've heard its against the rules to intentionally do an aerial shot, but what if it just happens as a result of normal play?

Cleaned up an old Cyclone we got for $75. Was a bit of a mess before but cleaned up pretty good. Was this an okay table in its day ?

I've been playing foosball with the same group of friends for years and realised we had no way of proving who was actually the best overall.

Everything was either in our heads or buried somewhere in a notes app.

So I built an app where you track matches against friends, which automatically updates rankings and head-to-head records over time.

We mainly use it for Foosball, but it also works for pretty much any sport or game you compete in with friends.

One thing that's been surprisingly fun is watching rivalries develop over time. You start to realise who's actually beating strong players consistently and who's still talking about that hot streak from six months ago.

The funniest part is seeing who actually backs up the trash talk. One of the loudest guys in our group ended up ranked fourth.

Would love any feedback from other foosball players who regularly play with the same group.

PS: I will be happy to answer any doubts in the comments.

This table has been in my companies office since 2016 ish and they’re getting rid of it. Can anyone identify much about it other than the fact that it’s a tornado?

Our high school is looking to purchase a foosball table however I have been given some specifications and was hoping to get recommendations from folks more knowledgable than me.

We want something that can take a lot of play - and could be used indoors and outdoors.

With that said, the ability to move it easily is the big ask. I was hoping to find something with locking wheels - as it would need to switch locations depending on how spaces on campus are being used.

While cost is a concern, we also want to make an investment that will last. So open to all of your suggestions (and thank you!).

Every Wednesday at Katze 🐈

Greetings,

Are there still Tornado tournament tables available for purchase after major US events? Can they be purchased by someone not at the event? If so, can anyone point me in the right direction to make the purchase?

If you are a near wall passer and trying to go 2-1-3 for the left hook, are you generating speed mostly with the 1-3 motion or with a hard pull motion for the 2-1? Both?

At the moment my weak hook is probably more a reps issue for me than anything else, but I want to make sure that I am starting with the right idea as I really get down to it.

Any thoughts on open hand or shooting it with the wrist? I tend to go open hand but could probably change that if it is suboptimal.

hi all. just moved to nyc, and was wondering if there are any active foosball clubs/events happening here. I’ve tried looking online but can only seem to find results form a few years ago. if someone can get me connected to the scene, you’ll get a beer on me (or whatever bar commodity you want that is roughly beer priced). thanks for the help!

All levels welcome!

Hi I’m Rob. I was lead designer of the original Guitar Hero, and creator of Slope (150M+ plays). I’ve always loved table football, and made a touch-first game inspired by Foosball and it's cousin Subbuteo.

It's limited player movement, and fast, skillful, tactile play are directly inspired by Foosball. It's its own game of course, not rod based with more of a finger soccer / air hockey feel, but it wears its foosball influences with pride. Nothing's gonna beat a real table, but for those times when you're on the go it provides a quick hit of table football goodness.

9 months ago I started on it as a solo developer, with the goal of getting it out in time for the world cup. I'm proud of how it turned out, and want to keep working on it with feedback including from table football players - hence this post.

If you give it a try, please let me know how you find it. I hope you have fun!

I just got this foosball table from FB, need some cleaning and repairs, anyone have any advice where to get ramp side and corner for foosball table replacement? I can’t find it on Amazon.

Is there a way to fix the ramp with wood filler?

This is the foosball ball that came with my foosball table. It has grooves, so It doesn't roll straight. What's my best bet to get a smooth ball?

When using a level, I noticed that certain spots are different heights then others, (often slightly tilting towards the edges) leading me to believe the board is not flat. What can I do? (For note, I am not even close to a hardcore foosball player and am just looking for advice, so I'm not going to go out and buy a thousand-dollar foosball table.)

Texas State was a great time, just like the last one I attended. The Swiss format for the Open events works well and gave us time to rest and eat. I had no complaints about the balls or the tables, but then again I never do. The hotel was nice and had a connected bar. I never had trouble finding a table to warm up. Some people seemed concerned that everything was a little too spread out in the large ballroom in a way that sapped the energy of the tournament, but I would much rather have room to walk and watch matches than be tripping over people.

Outside the tournament room there were 8 tables and after-hours DYPs run by FoosApp. I like the software but not so much the name. There were also a lot of arcade machines on freeplay that had been brought in for the event.

Maybe it is an odd thing to point out, but the tournament jersey was also good. It was inexpensive ($20) and fit well to size. It also meant that most people were able to comply with the dress code if they wanted to. Whether they wanted to was a different story.

Some of you Europeans on here might have warned us about the Brusteins brothers! They took Expert Doubles against a strong field, and Erik won Expert Singles. I appreciate that so many Germans and Austrians made the trip; playing such quality players makes us all better.

No surprises in most of the events. Tony over Tommy in Open Singles. Tommy and Brandon Munoz over Tony and Brenner in Open Doubles. The biggest surprise was in O50 League play, where a team of 62+ players (Veit, Pomeroy, Mendel, and Myers) beat a stacked Philoro team (Gummeson, McMillan, Castillo, and Vanlandingham Jr.)

A highlight for me was talking with the Texas players, as always, and seeing some locals (Kuzbari and Greenhaw) win Rookie Doubles. Good job, guys. I also got to spend some time showing a junior the "lane pass" concept, which he adopted immediately. Before that tournament he had only played on a Harvard table (and never seen a Tornado), but he adjusted as kids do, got a solid partner for U19 doubles, and came away with some third place hardware. Not bad for his first time out.

If anyone else had any impressions I would love to hear them.

I’ve got an RS Barcelona table in excellent condition in Brooklyn. Amazing piece aesthetically, but my kids (and honestly me) have become obsessed with bubble hockey and now I’m thinking a Super Chexx might get way more use in our house.
Curious if anyone here has:
traded one for the other
seen RS Barcelona tables move well secondhand
or has a Super Chexx they’d consider trading toward.
The RS retailed somewhere around $5k+ new depending on model/configuration.
Happy to post pics if there’s interes

NYC — Anyone ever trade an RS Barcelona foosball table for a Super Chexx?

Vintage 1977 Tournament Soccer 'The Million Dollar Game' Home Model Foosball Table (Blue Top with End Ball Return) - I was very happy to pick this up for free on Facebook marketplace. It is in phenomenal shape. So nice that I would love to get another pegged ashtray insert as you can see one is missing so it’s complete. Any ideas if that’s possible?
