What to Look For
- Table Size
Regulation Size air hockey tables must be eight feet long by 4 feet wide.
- Lighting
If you choose a table with overhead lighting, be sure that it can either be turned off or adjusted. Tournament lighting must be white.
A large puck will stay on the table better, even with hearty game play. Look for filled pucks for even more staying power. Small puck tables are best for kids’ home tables.
- Powerful Motor for the best air flow.
- Quality Materials
The rink wall should be made out of high-density aluminum or nylon for the best bounce and bankability.
- Heavy-duty construction in cabinet and legs for longevity.
- Wear-resistant playfield covered in durable laminate.
- Leg-levelers
Keeping the table level is important especially in the long term.
- Scoring—digital or manual, it’s a matter of preference.
- Profile
Professional style air hockey tables are lower than arcade style tables. Sleek, wood paneled tables can add visual interest to a bar or game room. Higher tables with graphic designs are great for arcades or family rooms.
