Durability
With walls that measure 1.5 inches and made of high-pressure laminate, the Playcraft Tournament Foosball Table is durable enough to survive aggressive gameplay. This is especially true with the stainless steel hardware that is assembled with the cabinet through attached point, effectively reinforcing strength and stability.
High-pressure laminate is also used to create the playing surface which guarantees a flat and smooth playing area. This means the ball will just roll to the direction set without hitting bumps and humps.
The steel rods, on the other hand, are made of high carbon tubular steel and measures a half-inch diameter. It underwent a triple hard plating process to achieve a smooth chrome finish and to combine reflex and strength.
Considering the role of the playing rods in the game, Playcraft Tournament definitely got it right when they made them strong and responsive. The choice of material used results in a lightweight, easy-to-maneuver playing rod.
The players are made of high-strength ABS, a material known for its toughness and impact resistance. These guarantees players that can withstand constant pounding for extended periods.
It would be long before dents will show on the ABS men.
They are also counterbalanced, so positioning them at any desired angle is not a problem. Steel spring pins are used to attach the players to the rod, which create an ultra-strong hold.
The Playcraft Tournament Foosball Table is shipped with 8 round balls made of urethane and abraded to ensure controlled grip.
