• Buying Guide

  When choosing an air hockey table there are two major factors to consider: Size of the table and the skill level of the players.

  When choosing a table size keep in mind the area where it will be used. A cramped playing area is not a good idea when playing any game or sport. Take measurements of the area and be sure to leave enough space at either end for the players. The cost will also increase as the table size increases, so for tight budgets smaller is often better.

  There are three types of tables: basic, mid-level, and arcade. Basic tables are great for kids; they are small, inexpensive and often easy to store. They are not as durable as the other table types and will not withstand intense air hockey games.

  Mid-level can be as large as an arcade with lower than arcade quality or smaller with arcade level durability. These are quite durable. The tables are dent resistant and the table is strong.

  Arcade is the top quality, very durable and large. Those that have the money and space for it often choose the arcade level table.
