Air Hockey Table Reviews

The game of air hockey requires two paddles, a puck and an air-hockey table. Your typical air hockey table is large and smooth, with slots on either end that act as goals and a surrounding rail (which prevents the puck from falling off the table). Below the goals on either ends of the hockey tables, there is usually a puck return. Air hockey tables additionally produce a cushion of air through tiny pits in the table, which helps reduce friction and increase the speed of the game. In some air hockey tables, the manufacturers opted for a slicker plastic table surface, in order to save on both maintenance and manufacturing costs. However, such tables technically are not air hockey tables since no air is emitted from them, although they are generally understood as such due to the similarities in gameplay.

As it stands today, the only officially approved tables by the USAA for tournament play are 8-foot tables manufactured by Dynamo. These approved tables include the Pro-Style, Older Blue Top, Phonton, Black Top or Purple Top with unpainted rails. Other full-size tables such as the HotFlash 2 are not approved by the USAA (United States Air-Table-Hockey Association), but they are still excellent tables for practising on.
