Durability
Like all KICK foosball products, the KICK Topaz foosball table is as durable as it looks. The concave or curve design and structure of its legs add to the sturdiness of this foosball table.
This foosball table weighs at 105lbs according to Amazon’s listing but the manufacturer confirmed us it’s actually 115lbs. Whichever the case, the table is not that heavy and that may have an impact on its durability. But like all of KICK’s products, being covered by their lifetime warranty extends the usability of this particular foosball table, indirectly increasing its durability.
The non-slip wooden handles that are coupled with steel rods allow the table to take some punishment from strong blows and jerks during a game. The rubber stoppers ensure that the players don’t slam the men against the wall in an intense game.
The men are made of hard plastic and can withstand some hard beatings for a couple of years before they need to be replaced – this adds some serious durability points.
Gameplay
The foosball game can easily become an intense game even if it was neither the plan nor intention when you started your game session. Thus strong emotions coupled with strong strikes can easily move the table around since the KICK Topaz foosball table was not built as a heavy table. This may affect the gameplay a bit, and the rubber feet may offer some resistance to strong movements but only up to a point.
The wooden handles offer a better grip than plastic ones preventing slips, this promotes better ball handling which promotes a more exciting gameplay.
The minimalistic design of the counter-balanced foosball men brings more focus on the foosball ball, allowing the players to easily track its location. The counter-balanced feature also aids the game when playing one-on-one since the foosball men balance themselves horizontally when you are not holding the grip.
Like the other KICK models that both have Front Ball Return and Slide Scoring Mechanisms at each end, the KICK Topaz foosball table can be easily played by two players without a third person having to facilitate a game. Since it is easy to score and retrieve the ball during a game restart due to the convenient positioning of the mentioned mechanisms.
Aesthetics
The KICK Topaz Foosball table is beautifully made and yet very sturdy. With its curved legs and matte black finishing, this foosball table from KICK married simplicity with function. The design provides the table a strong base and bearing and yet still manages to keep the table aesthetically pleasing.
The overall finish of the table is smooth to the touch with no sharp or dangerous corners that might cause injury or scratches. The tabletop playing field with its pleasant green look reminds us of the lush green of a well-maintained soccer field adding a realistic feel to the game. The simple colors used to paint the overall theme of the Topaz foosball table gives it a simple and yet elegant touch.
Who's It For?
The KICK Topaz foosball table is for the everyday person who wants to have something fun to do with other people without having to go far to get it. Although KICK is known for their very sturdy foosball tables, the table is not exactly built for a heavy tournament with real stakes since it is more for the general market that is just looking for a fun and exciting indoor game.
If you fit this description, then the KICK Topaz Foosball table is a good option that you should consider.
