Durability
The EastPoint Sports Durango Foosball Table is made entirely of MDF with a wood veneer finish, instead of a thin particle board, making it durable and reliable enough to support long hours of casual gameplay.
Durability and longevity are evident with its wood cabinet construction, propped over a solid base and frame. Even with a bit more aggressive movements, and table bumps here and there, it will stay firm. No need to worry about it falling apart at the slightest show of force.
The foosball players, on the other hand, are made of steel and are attached to a steel rod with a brushed bronze finish. If you so desire, they can be replaced with plastic players, but it could ruin the entire look.
With the players weighted and balanced, they can bump the ball and be rotated many times over before showing wear and tear. Made of steel, it would take a lot to ruin them, too.
The steel rods come with wooden handles for an easy and comfortable grip, and better handling when rotating players.
The combination of wood and steel exudes strength and stability that you can expect from the EastPoint Sports Durango Foosball Table. Its construction is reliable enough that you don’t need to buy protective covers to keep the wood on the sides scratch-free.
Gameplay
Featuring high-performance player rod bushings, playing with the Durango Foosball Table is fun and exciting. With steel player rods that easily spin and slide with just a flick of the handle, you can generate maximum torque for power with ease, and the kind of accuracy that snipers are well-known for. Yes, the odds of you hitting the ball toward the goal are quite high, provided you know how to use the steel player rods to your advantage.
The weighted and balanced players contribute to better gameplay, as they allow for better control of the game. Together with the high-performance rods, you can make your opponent cry if you make the right tactical decision and the right movement to go with it.
One of the features of the EastPoint Sports Durango Foosball Table is the bead style scoring that not only helps keep track of the action, but also adds to the aesthetics and functionality of the foosball table.
Overall, with a well-thought out construction of the Durango foosball table, it won’t be just a game, but a competition. It’s up to you to keep it friendly or not.
Extended gameplay is even more exciting among family and friends if the table is placed in a game room with the recommended 8 by 10 ft. area. Of course, when placed in an open-concept space, there’s no need to measure a room accordingly, for as long as players can move without hitting a wall at every turn, then it is all good.
Aesthetics
Rich and classic best describe the EastPoint Sports Durango Foosball Table, with its predominantly wooden construction, and just the right amount of steel thrown into the mix. The shade of the table leans more toward walnut than cherry, what with it being darker. This makes the green field and white markings stand out.
In particular, the steel player rods with a subdued brushed bronze finish are quite eye-catching. Textured foosballs also contribute to beauty and functionality, what with it offering the ultimate in ball control.
The choice of material also guarantees a table that is not only reliable, but also beautiful. It features built-in retro bead-style scoring sliders that help monitor the score and the action going on.
Given its dimensions of 56.75-inch length, 29.25-inch width and 34.5-inch height, it is oversized enough to meet official competition standards. It’s shipped with 1 shim pack for leveling legs and 2 foosballs.
Who's it for?
The EastPoint Sports Durango Foosball Table is both for casual family play or intermediate players looking to play a bit more aggressively. The biggest strength of this table is its beautiful retro appearance which will brighten any room. If you’re more into performance than looks then I’d suggest that you check the Warrior table or, if you can afford it, any of the Viper foosball tables.
