Tornado Official Foosballs Tournament Table Soccer Balls - Made in The USA - Commercial Quality - Play Like The Pros

Bought as I have a used foosball machine. These are a great replacement to the original balls I had and a perfect size!

They are as expected.

In the office break room an old foosball table was gathering dust, all the balls were lost and one of the handles was broken. I decided take a chance and epoxy the handle back together and order some balls to try it out. The first set of balls we tried were the hard plastic black and white balls. We quickly had a group of people looking forward to the lunchtime game as we all slowly learned the basic skills (step one, "no spinning"). Eventually the game seemed to devolve to just hitting it as hard as possible and waiting for a lucky ricochet into the goal. I decided to take another chance and see if different balls would liven things up. So I ordered these balls, while wondering if I was just wasting money. Boy was I pleasantly surprised. They totally take the game to a new level compared to the hard plastic ricochet balls. These foosballs let you control the game more since they allow more control, traction, and ultimately they let you set-up shots instead of just everyone randomly hitting the ball as hard as they can and hoping something works. I highly recommend trying these out if you have only used the other kind.

I bought a used Tornado Twister 2 Foosball table. It came with one red very smooth ball. The play was super fast.My previous sportscraft table had super fast smooth plastic balls.I bought the used Tornado table to try and improve my game. I bought the extra balls for use in training drills. Little did I know how these new balls played.I bought a set of 4. Two red and two yellow. The multi color picture shows more than 4 balls but you select the number you are buying. I received what I order and it was on time.The new Foosball balls are much slower than my old smooth foosball. I was shocked and thought the balls may need to break in.After reading a few blogs on the different Foosball balls and action. These balls are playing exactly how they are suppose to.I have watched a lot of youtube videos and tournaments. It was amazing the ball control the pros have. It makes sense now that the slower ball helps to stay in control of the ball.Now I am amazed at how the pros move the ball so quickly with the slow ball action.There are some good reviews on here that explain these Tornado Foosball balls are behaving exactly as designed.

Good quality tornado red balls....delivery was over twice as long as it projected

We bought for our friends kids as we gave them our fooseball game and they are so happy.Balls work perfect

Wow... I can't even tell you what a difference these balls make...but I'll try.I used to play a decent amount of foosball, and some of you might know me for being on the tournament-winning two-person team along with James P. OK, so the tournament wasn't international, or nationwide.... but was at Solomon Grundy's bar, about 20 years ago, but let me have my moment of glory, OK? :-)Anyway, back to the serious review of these balls... First, I'll mention that our table top is not 100% level. It is what it is. With the old, plastic balls I was using, control was nearly impossible. They'd roll everywhere, and make it very hard to set up a shot. The old balls amplified every imperfection on the table surface. With these new balls, I can set up all kinds of shots. It's like having a new table. Seriously. What a treat it is being able to play with some skill instead of just chasing an erratic ball.Now, I'm not saying that these balls are better than other similar Tornado/official balls, since these are the only ones I've tried. But I will say that they could not get any better than this. So if you're looking for a set of 4 balls, these are what you'll want to get.I'll mention that one of the reviews for these balls says that these only work on a Tornado table. Not true. I have a Sportcraft, and there's no reason why these balls wouldn't work on any table that uses any other ball that's the same size.So yes, easily 5 stars.

Every foosball player needs experience with Tornado balls. They are quite unlike the hard plastic balls that come with most tables. The surface of the balls has kind of a nubby rough feel that greatly increase the friction of the surface. This has two big consequences. The first is that ball control is *greatly* increased. If you have been trying to learn tic tacs, snake shots, etc and can't figure out how people control the ball without it sliding out from under your player uncontrollably it will make more sense once you use these balls (and as you get better it will be less crucial to have a ball like this). The other big consequence is that the ball will not roll as far. You can still get extremely fast kicks but the ball will tend to stop rolling and stay still when it is moving slowly. For ball control purposes this is great but it also means that you may find the ball "dies" on the field between two rows of players when neither can touch it much more frequently.
