Carrom Super Stick Hockey Table
Made of Extra-durable Material
A hockey table made from superior quality, durable and long-lasting components will last for years to come, even when used frequently. The Carrom Super Stick Hockey Table is finely constructed using the most durable materials to provide years of playing enjoyment. The cabinet is constructed of a thermal-fused black marble with melamine that provides high wear resistance, allowing you to play hundreds of games with your family and friends. The heavy black vinyl coated legs provide solid footing and protect the surface from scratches and dents during a rough play. The dome is made of durable plastic that is highly crack-resistant, so it won’t snap too easily. Also, it helps keep the playfield dust-free, as well as prevents spills from drinks. The plastic dome is easily removed for keeping the playing surface clean and maintained. The easy-to-move control rods are made of high strength solid fiberglass that enhances their strength and durability.
Immediate Puck Return
The hockey table features a puck return mechanism which restarts the game after each goal, immediately directing the puck back to the player. So, you won’t get distracted during a breathtaking hockey game. When the puck enters the net, you can easily take it out of a hole located in front of each player. An electronic scoring unit located on the top of the dome displays the cumulative scores after each goal, while the dome itself keeps the playing area free of dust. There's more to that. Unlike cheaper models of red hockey tables, the scoring unit of this table produces amazing light and sound effects at each goal, giving the game a more realistic atmosphere, and can be reset at any point in time to start a new game. Since the scoring unit uses 4 batteries to work, make sure that you always have some spare ones at hand in order not to halt the game when the battle only starts to unfold. To save the battery charge, the scoring table shuts down after 3 minutes of non-use.
A Set of Colored Stick Hockey Players
The rod hockey game includes a set of 6 solid colored players and a goalie in each team. The lifelike players in blue and red colors are made of durable molded plastic. Yet, a set of hand painted players in the uniform of your favorite team can be purchased separately.

What is a Rod Hockey?
A rod hockey is one of the most popular leisure time activities in recreational centers. You can challenge your friends for a fun game of rod hockey to fight your way up to victory. A rod hockey is a rectangular playing field with steel rods attached to metal or plastic players sliding along defined track segments. The easy-to-move control rods allow the players to spin, make passes, and shoot the puck. A rod hockey is a challenging and fun game, regardless of your age. Yet, some hockey table games have age restrictions, as they may contain small parts. A hockey table won't take up much space, and the pleasure does not have to end. It's a good alternative to computer games, that allows developing motor skills, focus, and imagination in children.

What Features to Compare
Construction and Dimensions
When it comes to buying a rod hockey, you should primarily pay attention to the construction and dimensions to make sure it perfectly fits your space. For those who have enough room for a hockey table, we would recommend considering tables that come on stands. However, keep in mind that such tables are usually heavy weight and you may need help to move them around. For a small room, a table with a small stand or legs would be a better choice and you will have more options of choosing the place to set it up. They are very portable and lightweight to move from one room to another.
Material
The next thing to consider is the playfield material that directly affects the lifetime of the table and the frequency of use. Most modern hockey tables are made of a durable plastic and have a smooth playing surface that allows a puck to glide effortlessly over the surface. More expensive models are made of a thermal-fused marble with wear-resistant melamine. Air hockey tables that have closed construction feature a sturdy, shatter-resistant plastic dome. A clear plastic dome keeps a rod hockey table free of dust, prevents playing pieces from escaping, and the puck from flying off the table when you play aggressively.
Controls
Most rod hockey tables feature easy-to-move control rods that move the players forward and back on the ice, as well as make them shoot the puck. Some models come with a manual control lever to move the players over the ice surface. Also, you can keep track of the game scores with the help of an electronic scoring unit or a manual counter.
Usability
More expensive models have a puck return mechanism that allows you to immediately restart the game after each goal without chasing after pucks. The rod hockey tables with sound effects are designed for a more realistic game experience. Since pucks are small in diameter, they can be easily lost. With this in mind, most hockey sets contain extra pucks.
FAQ:
Q: How do rod hockey tables work?
A: Rod hockey tables are drilled with tiny air holes across the whole surface to make a frictionless playing field. And a fan located underneath the table pumps up the air through these holes. The air pressure makes players move over the playfield and the puck hover over the table. The smooth surface allows the puck to move at high speeds without getting stuck, while the raised edges keep the puck from flying off the table. If you try to stop the puck abruptly, it will continue moving but slowly due to the small air funnels being forced up through the floor.
Q: What kind of equipment is needed for my hockey table?
A: The table hockey game requires minimum equipment. All you need is a hockey table, a couple of pucks, mallets, and a place to plug it in.
Q: How do I take care of my hockey table to keep it in a good running order?
A: It’s recommended to clean a hockey table on a regular basis for keeping the playing surface smooth. However, avoid cleaning your hockey table with a rough cloth or harsh chemicals. This may strip the finish and cause drag. Wipe the table surface with a soft, damp cloth, making sure the tabletop is completely dry. In case the puck starts to slow down during the play, you can try to apply a little bit of furniture polish on its surface. This should help accelerate its move. Clean out the air holes with pipe cleaners and make sure there is nothing that may block the air from getting through. Before cleaning, turn your hockey table off and unplug it.
Q: What if my blower doesn't work?
A: Over time, your blower unit may break down through excessive use. Before requesting a repair, make sure the fan blades are clean, as dirty blades don’t produce much air. Use a soft cloth to clean dirt and dust from your fan blades. Check out the air holes to make sure they aren't clogged. If you can't spot other problems but the blower still doesn't work, in that case, you will need to take it to a repair shop.
Q: How many players can play at a hockey table?
A: A rod hockey table is designed for 2 players. Yet, doubling up makes the play more exciting and varied. Besides, you can always take turns, especially when participating in competitions. This will give more fun.
Q: How do I select the right table size?
A: See how much space you have in the room for a hockey table. Make sure it's bigger than the dimensions of the table as you will need extra inches at each end of the table to move freely around it. Typically, a full-size table makes 50 inches in width and 90 inches in length. However, portable models are also available.
Q: What should I look for when choosing a rod hockey table?
A: If you've decided to buy a hockey table, you should consider the quality of the components, namely the motor, exterior, and walls. Hockey tables considerably vary in price, so you should understand what exactly you want to get the best quality for the money.
