Air
Hockey Tables
The leading source for Air
Hockey Tables and other Game Room Tables. A typical air hockey table
consists of a large smooth playing surface, a surrounding rail to prevent
the puck and strikers from leaving the table, and slots in the rail at
either end of the table that serve as goals. On the ends of the table
behind and below the goals, there is usually a puck return. Additionally,
tables will typically have some sort of machinery that produces a cushion
of air on the play surface, with the purpose of reducing friction and
increasing play speed. In some tables, the machinery is eschewed in favor
of a slick table surface, usually plastic, in the interest of saving money
in both manufacturing and maintenance costs. Note that these tables are
technically not air hockey tables since no air is involved, however, they
are still generally understood to be as such due to the basic similarity
of gameplay.
