Foosball Info
foosball tables
You know Heemskerk mainly from the table tennis sport. But for many years now, our football tables have also been an integral part of the range.
There is also a football table for everyone. Whether you want to play at home in the living room with the children, or in the company canteen with your colleagues, you are guaranteed to find the table football game that suits you in our webshop.
What should I pay attention to when purchasing a football table?
How nice that you have decided to buy a football table! But how do you choose the best football table for you? We can imagine that you could use some help with this. These tips can help you on your way:
- Who will use the football table?
Will mainly children play with the football table, or will the table be used more by adults? You can imagine that adults need a sturdier model than children. Experience shows that things can get quite fanatical at the office during a game of table football.
- Is the football table used regularly?
If you are going to set up the football table at home, it will not be used as often as in a public space, such as the school or sports canteen. So at home you can safely opt for a lighter model, such as the Basic XL. But if the football table is used intensively, it is better to opt for a sturdy model like ours Tactical.
- Are you going for continuous rods or do you opt for telescopic rods?
If you go for sturdiness, take the continuous bars. Do you prefer extra security? Then choose the telescopic rods. In the next block we explain exactly why.
Continuous rods or Telescopic rods?
Important when purchasing a football table, especially when it will be placed in a public space, is the choice of the rods. Do you go for continuous rods or better for telescopic rods. And what exactly is the difference?
Continuous rods sticking (as the word says) on the other side through the football table. These rods are often also solid, making them extra sturdy. Ideal when the football table is placed in a place where adults will play fanatically.
Telescopic rods do not protrude from the other side of the football table, but remain in the table. These rods consist of two parts that slide into each other. Because the telescopic rods do not protrude on the other side, they are extra safe. We especially recommend these rods when the football table is placed in a room where children can also come close to the table. That way they can't hurt themselves on the bars.
Foosball balls
In addition to a large number of football tables, you can also choose different table football balls in our webshop. Which balls you can choose best depends on your wishes.
For recreational use
Do you have a football table for the children in the living room, but do the balls need to be replaced? Then the smooth plastic balls are ideal. With a set of 12 you have enough balls to continue playing. And because they are available in three solid colors, there is certainly a set for you. Do you find the plain balls boring? Then choose the balls with old-school football print.
To practice tricks
Do you play table football a lot and often and don't you turn your hand for fun tricks? Or do you want to master those tricks? Then choose the Pro balls. These table football balls have a rough surface, which gives you more control. The yellow Pro balls are also used during official foosball matches.
If it could be a bit quieter
Nowadays you will find a football table in more and more office buildings and public spaces. Great, because a game of table football helps the staff to relax for a while and then get back to work full of energy. However, it can be annoying if colleagues are bothered by the loud noise of the table football balls during the game. The cork balls are the ideal solution. Because of the soft material, the sound is greatly reduced.
Of everything
For those who can't choose, or for those who just want to try all kinds of balls, we have a special one assorted set composed. These sets contain 2 balls of all types. So you can see for yourself which foosball ball suits you best!
Your football table delivered assembled
You have chosen a beautiful football table and are about to order it. That leaves one choice left: Are you going to assemble the table yourself or will you have it done by our Heemskerk fitter?
Delivery without assembly
All our football tables are delivered to you in the box as standard. This means that you have to assemble it yourself after delivery. That is not very difficult, because every football table comes with a clear manual. This way you can see step by step which actions are needed to build the table. We can nevertheless imagine that you would rather spend your time playing a game of table football.
Delivery including assembly
When you order a football table from us, you can also choose to have it installed by our mechanic. He assembles the table in our workshop, where he has all the space and tools to do this as well as possible. Once the football table has been assembled, delivery will be scheduled as soon as possible. Because the football table is already assembled at the time of delivery, it is therefore important that the table can be placed in the right place. Take the dimensions and weight of the football table into account. If you are not sure whether an assembled football table can be brought to the right location, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are happy to look at a solution with you.
