Black Foosball Table

KICK Legend is an all black foosball table that features everything you would expect of a manufacturer with the reputation of KICK. It comes with very durable rods that are very easy to spin due to high-quality bearings. In the package, you will get a set of robotic men, which are counterbalanced, and a set of uniformed men that are not. This is neither a 3-men goalie nor a single-man goalie foosball table. Instead, you have an optional set of corner ramps that you can install in combination with placing just a central player on the goalie rod. It has the expected KICK build quality, which is furthermore backed by their unmatched unlimited lifetime warranty policy. One odd characteristic of this table is that rod handles are natural wood color, though the majority of KICK’s other models come with black handles.

Pros

• Counterbalanced men
• Options to set up as both 3- or single-man goalie table
• Lifetime warranty
• Build quality

Cons

• Rod handles are natural wood color

If you are not looking for a full-fledged standing foosball table, you should consider this black foosball coffee table made by Berner. It doubles as both a coffee table and a foosball table. This, in turn, makes it unsuitable for professional play, or for playing 2v2, but it is perfect for occasional lighthearted rod spinning. When it comes to its foosballing qualities, it has three telescopic rods on each side, with three-man goalie rods. Rods and bearings are of very good quality but are not tournament grade. Men are not counterweighted, so they will not easily stay in a horizontal position. A table like this one you probably will not buy for the foosball hardware, but for its novelty and aesthetics.

Pros

• Solid wood construction
• Stylish design doubles as a coffee table

Cons

• Only three rods per side, can’t be used by four people at the same time

Tornado Classic is a proper competition-ready foosball table in everything except name. Competition-grade rods are spinning in competition-grade bearings, and have counterbalanced men of the same quality level. The cabinet sits on sturdy legs that end in very useful leg levelers. One and a half-inch thick cabinet promises to last for years of vigorous play, and in my personal experience, these tables are just a joy to play on no matter what is your skill level. Just like KICK Legend, this one also comes with natural wood color handles, which is also baffling. So, choosing one of these two tables you should consider the need to paint the handles black, or putting black wraps on them. One thing that may turn away some people from this table can be the price. Tornado tables are not cheap ones but are worth every penny.

Pros

• Sturdy, competition-grade table
• Excellent build and hardware quality

Cons

• Handles in natural wood color
• Not the cheapest table

This black and silver foosball table manufactured by EastPoint Sports is an excellent choice if you are looking for an outdoor foosball table. On top of sturdy, aluminum, legs is a weather-resistant cabinet that can be additionally protected with a provided table cover. Legs have very convenient levelers, which have among the longest screws on the market, so the playing surface can be set perfectly level on even extremely bumpy patios. This table is weather-resistant, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t place it indoors if you wish so. The hardware is not the best on the market, there are tables with bearings that are smoother, but are also considerably pricier. And overall, when it comes to outdoor tables, this one is surprisingly affordable, while it doesn’t sacrifice quality compared to the competition.

Pros

• Very sturdy weather-resistant construction
• Counterbalanced men
• Very affordable compared to other outdoor tables

Cons

• Some people might not like that it is not a competition-grade table

This is another black foosball table on my list that is made by KICK, and this one comes with black rod handles. This table comes only with a single set of players, uniformed and not counterbalanced. While other features are almost the same as the Legend model. You will get besides the excellent hardware and build quality, spare balls, unlimited lifetime warranty, and free supply of rod lubricant. You will not need a lot of lubricants, but this is a nice customer care touch from KICK. But this table has one feature that makes it much different from the Legend, foldable legs. One pair of legs can be swung in the cabinet, while the cabinet itself can be rotated upright on the other pair which is L-shaped and has pair of wheels for easier movement. Legs are locked in place with retention screws that have oversized knobs, and pair of L-shaped legs are locked safely in the upright position. But odd thing is that table doesn’t have a place to store its screws, which while being bulky still can get lost.

Pros

• Options to set up as both 3- or single-man goalie table
• Lifetime warranty
• Build quality
• Foldable design

Cons

• Men are not counterbalanced
• Retention screws of straight legs don’t have a place for storing them when the table is upright
