Single Goalie Foosball Table

KICK is one of the best makers of foosball tables. What sets them apart from others is not just the build quality of tables, but also the lifetime warranty for parts. Monarch is a 48’’ folding table which is geared toward younger players, being 32’’ high. Because it is also foldable, it is a great option if you have limited space in your game room and need to store it from time to time.

In my experience, it is as sturdy and durable as any other KICK’s product. It also has a very simple but ingenious folding system. To fold it, you need to remove four knobbed screws, which then are used to secure the table safely in a folded position. Once folded, you can easily roll it away on wheels that are part of the legs. The only drawbacks of this table I can find is the lack of entry dish and the octagonal design of handles. But, those are my personal preferences and not really flaws.

Pros

• Lifetime Warranty
• Foldable
• Appropriate for all age

Cons

• Lack of leveling feet requires a perfectly level surface

If you are interested in a professional, competition-grade single goalie foosball table, Warrior’s Pro Foosball Table is an excellent choice. It is an ITSF, and USTSF recognized table, which is a level below the official tables. This doesn’t mean that it is a low-quality table. You can look at it as being a road-legal Ferrari, while the official tables are F1 racing cars. This table is full competition regulation size, 56’’ length, and 36’’ height, which makes it too tall for younger kids, and appropriate for older teens and adults. Like all professional tables, it features the counterbalanced foosball men, which makes shots and passes extremely smooth and light.

It also has a few other outstanding features. It has plastic guards for rods on opposing sides, which prevent accidents. And trust me, accidentally hitting a steel rod with your finger is unpleasant. It has swivel-base leveling feet, which not only allow for raising and lowering each corner individually but also make a firm and stable contact on uneven surfaces.

Pros

• Pro-grade table
•  Great safety features
• Swivel-base leveling feet

Cons

•  Not for children
• Many buyers are reporting that assembly instructions are for the older iteration

Most of the foosball tables come in the simple shape of a shallow rectangular box on four straight legs. But not the G-5000 Wenge from Garlando. It is a one-man goalie foosball table that comes with a ton of style. There isn’t much that can be said about the quality of this table. It’s among the best ones, comes with standard high-end features like sturdy construction and leveling feet. But what sets it apart from other top tables is its timeless Italian design. And if you plan to furnish your game room in retro style, this table can be the centerpiece of it.

Produced in Piedmont, this is truly an Italian product. It has a playing surface good for a bit slower play. It is a full 56’’ size table and comes with telescopic rods, which not only improve its looks but are a safety feature too. Handles are round with wood inlays, and pure joy to hold. And your palms will not sweat as much as if they were made of plastic. But, it does have one flaw, its price.

Pros

• Stylish design
• Safe and stylish telescope rods
• High quality

Cons

• Price

In the past, I have played foosball on some very good and some very bad tables. Per quality, Hathaway’s Primo falls in the middle. It is not the best foosball table with one goalie, but it does have some features more common among high-end tables. It comes with good quality counterbalanced men, which are pleasant to spin. The four cup holders it has, are a feature you will be wondering why it lacks on higher-end tables. Additionally, it has entry dishes on both sides.

While all parts, nuts, bolts, etc. are individual, some parts can have quality issues. Some structure parts that are fortunately hidden when assembled do not fit perfectly. While this isn’t that big issue, it can complicate the assembling. My advice and experience of some buyers is to not screw anything fully until installing the playing surface. Fortunately, if there are any defects on your table, Hathaway will provide you with replacement parts or a new table free of charge. Overall it is a good home foosball table.

Pros

• High-quality men
• Good playing surface
• Excellent return and warranty policy

Cons

• Inconsistent build quality
• Only the 180-days warranty

Generally, foosball tables are for indoor use. But some are made for outdoor use, and Garlando Master PRO is such. The 56’’ cabinet is made of 20 millimeters thick waterproof plywood. And rods feature 2 millimeters thick triple-layer chromium coating. The bars are also telescopic, which makes them safe for younger kids. Additionally, the legs are foldable and made of metal, making them very sturdy and table easy to store. All parts of the table indicate high quality and excellent build. But nothing less you should expect from this Italian company. The laminated plastic playing field is painted with UV stable colors. Something that is actually very rare.

The only flaws Master PRO has is the lack of leveling feet. Thus you will have to make sure to place it on a perfectly level surface. And also, men are molded to bars. Though they are very sturdy, it is imaginable to break them, and their replacement could be a bit of complication.

Pros

• Safe and stylish telescope rods
• High quality
• Excellent for outdoor use

Cons

• Lack of leveling feet requires a perfectly level surface
• Men could be a problem to replace if broken
