Performance RS versus Tornado Sport
« on: November 26, 2010, 09:56:39 PM »
I am in the market for a new foosball table.  I have narrowed my choices down to these two tables.  Can someone offer an opinion as to which might be the better table?  Thanks in advance.  Joel.

alright ill give u the 411, roberto sport is an italian type table, they have a smaller ball smaller men big net, the surface on the world roberto sport or champion edition if i remember correctly, is the only RS table u want to get not the ones b4 it, on this edition, it has 2 surfaces that can be swapped for both fast ball and slow ball, one surface slick the other rough,
the world RS is a beautiful table, u can pin, smaller men smaller ball, bicycle hand grip so u dont need to wrap your handles, and has ramps, including the ball tends to chip here and there, but not much of a big deal

now the Tornado table, is the american world table, its known everywhere around the world, its highly played everywhere that plays foosball
it has 3 goalies but mainly 1 goalie to save, the other 2 goalies were meant so u can take the ball out of the corners b/c there are no ramps, also since there are no ramps, everything more controled, the ball rolls true all the time,
the bars are more sturdy and weighted, while the rs bar is flimsy, if anything u will see more bent bars on a rs than a ts,  but then again both bars once bent, pretty much are bent, the ts table is probably your best bet if you are in North America, or anywhere, The RS is good if you are in Europe b/c the table is similar
But for competitive play, depending where ur at, is probably what table u wanna learn on,

i hope that helps,

Actually,  I think Jweiner is refering to the Performance Games brand, SureShot RS table.  But I could be wrong.

And in that case, it would depend on the pricing of the tables.

Performance games makes a good table, and the table plays well (plays VERY similar to a fireball table).

if thats the case she's better of with the ts table, until that table takes off, or comes to a fireball tourney...

she shouldnt buy that table b/c its to new, why buy a table when it could disapear as fast as a warrior table
