Air Hockey TablesLooking for air hockey tables that won't break after three days of play? Good news, you're in the right place. After working with a dozen different manufacturers, we have narrowed it down to only the best makers of air hockey tables. The reason is simple - these quality brands stand behind their product and have minimal or no customer complaints. You expect your new hockey table to work right when you receive it, then last for years of enjoyable play. Quality is just what these four types of air hockey deliver.
The good news is that high quality hockey tables
are now available for home use. The same ones you see at an arcade can be enjoyed by your family any day of the year. These air hockey tables serve satisfied customers because the construction includes :  - Great American's industry leading air blower system
- Carrom's home game room focus and made in the USA
- Shelti's gear box and clutch system table hockey design
- Valley Dynamo's tradition and brand recognition
- R&D on rails that maximize speed and minimize fly-off
- Scoring options : manual, side electronic, and overhead electronic scoring systems
- Stable air hockey tables topping out at 485 lbs.
In other words, quality air hockey tables. Unless you want a cheap air hockey table that breaks by Christmas afternoon, choose at least a table as good as Carrom. If you want to spend $200-$300, we suggest your local big box retailer for an imported machine-made table. Carrom is closer to $700 plus freight for a table that is made by American workers who take pride in each table being sent into the world in good working operation. Shelti brings the same quality used in their commercial foosball tables to make a plain but durable hockey table at about $1400. Dynamo has the full range from $749 to $3999. Great American is la creme de la creme, American-made arcade air hockey tables with coin operation near $4000, or the same high quality available in a $2000 home model.
All of these manufacturers design games built for commercial usage or high-end game room customer in mind. Each manufacturer offers different kinds of tables with many different options. Be sure to read our air hockey table review article to help make your decision a bit easier.
Table Hockey Bubble hockey goes by many names, including dome hockey, rod hockey, table hockey, board hockey. What do you think the official name should be? Whichever name you prefer, we know what it feels like to want one.
- Super Chexx - this is the marquee version. Albeit a little overpriced because of its popularity, there is no beating the SuperChexx version of bubble hockey.
- Thunderdome - Shelti's premium table is almost as good and one thousand dollars less
- Elite or Signature - Carrom makes a low-profile bubble and a traditional table hockey version with drink holders for the marriage of quality and value.
- Everything else - will fall apart before you have had enough fun with it.
Hockey TableAs you are considering a new hockey table, we know you have many options to consider. Do you want an air hockey table, a bubble hockey table, a foosball game, a pool table, or another game to be the highlight of your rec room? If you decide to go with the fast-paced action and click-and-clack of air hockey tables, choose one of our preferred manufacturers to get a game that will serve your family for years. If you decide on a dome hockey table, be prepared for all the kids on the block to come to your house as the place to play.
You won't find our air hockey tables at a cheap sporting goods
retailer. Some people make the mistake of buying a low quality air hockey
table or table hockey game that collapses as soon as someone plays it hard. Balance the quality of a hockey table that will last with the value that best fits your budget. Browse the Gold Star Games website and let us know if you have any questions. We hope we earn your business by providing the most information possible on all air hockey tables, so you can make the most informed decision.
