What is the correct size of an air hockey table?
Air hockey is a fun and exciting game. It brings fun and excitement to any play space. The size of the air hockey table is important in making the right choice. There are air hockey tables in different sizes, but what is the official size and what are common table sizes? We'll go over everything with you.
Air hockey table from 4ft
Size matters! Air hockey tables can vary greatly in size depending on how you plan to use them. It is essential that the table is large enough to allow the puck and players sufficient room to move. Most home air hockey tables start at a size of 4ft. This size is ideal for younger children and families as players only need to use their arm's length and often.
It is good to know that older youth and adults can sometimes have trouble playing on the smaller tables.
Also, there are air hockey tables specially designed for kids and families, available in 5ft (150cm), which is definitely better for larger family members to play on. The most common size for home use is a 6ft (180cm) air hockey table.
Official size
The largest home air hockey tables are between 6ft and 7ft. At Heemskerk we have the perfect intermediate size, namely an air hockey table of 6,5ft. Air hockey players who want to be that little bit more are of course looking for bigger tables. That is why there are especially many 7ft air hockey tables.
The official size for an air hockey table is 8ft. We're talking about the large, commercial tables you'll find in arcades and bars. Many commercial 8ft tables are also available in a smaller size of 7ft (210cm). These tables give the feeling of an official table, but have a smaller size, so that they fit more easily in smaller spaces.
There are even air hockey tables that look professional, but are a bit smaller, so you end up with 6ft.
