Durability
With its black and silver design, coupled with 4 chunky legs in a rectangular formation and crossbars between each pair of legs, the KICK Voyager is a table that gives off the appearance of a sturdy table.
Looks can be deceiving though, and while some foosball tables that look solid can actually turn out to be rather lightweight and flimsy when you actually get to playing on them, thankfully this is not the case with the Voyager. It really is a table that is as sturdy as it looks.
At 84 lbs it is never going to be as sturdy as those foosball tables in the $1,500+ price range, but if there is such a thing as a sturdiness to price ratio for foosball tables, then this one would be right up there with the best. Many reviewers have commented how pleasantly surprised they were when they received their table and played on it for the first time just how sturdy a table it is for the comparatively low cost.
Of course, the overall sturdiness of a foosball table cannot be judged solely on its weight. There are other components too which all play a part in determining whether a table is worthy of your investment to purchase it. Fortunately, the KICK Voyager excels in this area too, as do all other foosball tables by KICK in fact. The semi-solid stainless steel rods are strong enough to cope with enthusiastic gameplay, and the adjustable leg levellers provide a solid base for game play.
Plus, in the unlikely event of anything going wrong or not being as it should, KICK offer a lifetime guarantee on all of their foosball tables for complete peace of mind.
Gameplay
Like all KICK tables, you get a table that offers a superb gaming experience for the price. While intermediate or advanced/professional players will want a heavier, more expensive type of table, the KICK Voyager is perfect for youngsters, beginners or recreational players who want a great table without having to pay a fortune for it.
The Voyager comes shipped with both 1 goalie or 3 goalie option, so you can take your pic as to which type of game you prefer to play.
Aesthetics
Brighter colors may appeal to kids (and some adults), but it is hard to argue that a black and silver foosball table is one of the most stylish of color schemes for a foosball table, or indeed any piece of furniture for that matter.
This table will look fantastic in any room, and will also appeal to those younger players who want to transition away from a childish looking table to one which is far more grown up. The abacus-style scoring counter, as opposed to a simple number slider, also give the Voyager a classy feel.
Who's It For?
The KICK Voyager foosball table is one of those rare tables that will suit a great swathe of different age and abilities. It is a great table (which is obviously a much-needed starting point!), but combine this with its price and stylish appearance, and there is little wonder that it is such a popular foosball table.
As mentioned earlier on, it is obviously not meant for those who take their foosball ultra-seriously and are willing to shell out a four-figure sum on a table. But if you are buying a table for an older child, or just want a table for casual use, then the KICK Voyager should be a model high up on your wishlist.
