I played on one at the hurricane evacuation shortened Louisiana State last year. First the negatives. The ballswould get stuck right at the end of the return conduit, so you had to push it back into the conduit and let it roll back toward you and grab it. I don't mind a one man goalie, but the limits on how far your reach is made it hard to keep slop out. There needs to be improvement on the construction of the return, it just seems hokie or cheap. I hear many players complain about the weight, I had no problem with the weight or the stability, I think the thing I most dislike about the table is the bumpers are hard. Because of that, fighting for loose balls creates jarring arguements. One guy was complaining, and I told him to call a judge because he was jarring as much as I was, even though it was all incidental, and not on purpose for either side.
Now for the good.
I like the ball control as stated by someone else. I played a handicap Pro Am Friday night and played well on the table. You had to learn to finness you shot a little, but I thought over all it was a pretty easy adjustment. The table reminds me of the first table I ever played on back in the early 70's, the American Foosball table. I like the sharp edge of the man, it makes banks and cut shots easy and acurate. And speaking of banks, no more frustration of the ball leaving the table on a well hit ball. The weight of the ball keeps it on the table. I talked to a lot of Pro Masters at the tournament about the table. Most were like me, there were some issues with the table, but I think the over all consenses is that they like the table.
Is it a Tornado? No! Is it a good table. Yes with some minor improvements. I am curious to see the coin-opp model.
