Choosing the Right Air Hockey Table for You

An air hockey table is a great way to add some fun and excitement to your game room. This investment is one that will bring hours of fun for both kids and adults. With a wide variety of air hockey tables on the market, it is crucial to do your research before purchasing to ensure you get the right air hockey table for your needs.

There are a variety of factors to consider when looking for the right air hockey table, including:

Size of the Table

One of the biggest things to look at is the size of the table. You want to make sure it will fit comfortably in your game room. Standard air hockey tables used for professional tournaments are 8 feet long and 4 feet wide, which may be a good choice for serious players.

Size of the Puck

If you plan to mainly have children and young teens using your air hockey table, you should opt for smaller pucks. Larger pucks work well if you plan to have more adult players.

Air Hockey Table Material

How long your air hockey table lasts will depend on the materials that were used to construct it. If you want your air hockey table to withstand the wear and tear, be sure to choose one with a playfield made of water-resistant laminate and with rink walls that are made of aluminum or high-density nylon.

Appearance and Style

Look for an air hockey table that complements your décor. A classic finish will look great in your family game room, whereas if you are setting one up in your arcade, you should try shiny colors and flashy designs.

Type of Scoring

The type of scoring tools you choose will depend on your budget and your preferences. Digital scoring is automatic, whereas, with manual scoring, you can develop your own rules and disregard any accidental goals.

Lighting for Air Hockey Tables

Be sure to check the overhead lighting and the scoring unit of the air hockey table you want to buy. Make sure the lighting is sufficient enough to allow for playing in dimly lit rooms and give the table an elevated appearance.
