I have a Fireball ITSF PRO and love it!!! But, as of 2013 (I could be wrong) Fireball stopped their US distribution.
While Fireball thrives in Asia, Middle East and Oceania and it's a ITSF recognized table. It's a shame we don't have the tables and the sponsored events here. Tornado's the only pro table in the US and it's loved by everybody. For Fireball parts, I have to deal with this promoter from Taiwan or sometimes go to China's version of ebay,Taobao (not worth it). The Fireball's way better engineered table than Tornado. The playfield's smoother and bit faster with great grip. Players have the best ball control and don't break or loosen like Tornado. The cabinet's well built with metal legs. The rods on Fireball are superb compared to Tornado. Bank shots are way more easier to achieve with Fireball (my experience). I hope other foosers can elaborate more on how it plays compared to a Tornado better than me.
But since you can't get them here anymore or compete in any events, you have to get the Tornado T3000.
My two cents , I hope you get more responses, since we got great foosers here with knowledge and experience.
