Foosball tables from HEIKU-Sport – buying advice

Everything you need to know about buying a foosball table

You have probably already seen our large and varied selection of foosball tables and are now wondering which one is right for you. Here we would like to explain the differences between them, their special features, and the right target group for each one

Table soccer tables for families

For families, we recommend the Champ Finale, Champ Family, or Champ Elite Pro foosball table models.

The Champ Finale foosball table has the standard height of a foosball table, but unlike the Champ Classic foosball table, it also has 4 individual steel tube legs. Even when 4 adults are playing, fun is guaranteed for a long time.

If you have small children in your household, the Champ Family is the right foosball table for you, as it can grow with your children. The legs can be adjusted to 3 different positions, allowing you to vary the height. However, if your children are older, around 7 or 8 years old, we would recommend the standard foosball table. Children of this age grow very quickly. If you think your children are still a little too small for a standard foosball table, we would recommend using a stool for a short period of time.

If you like something classy, the Champ Elite Pro foosball table is the right choice for you. It is available in many different color combinations, with the Champ Elite Pro White with a black playing field currently being particularly popular. The big advantage of the Champ Elite Pro foosball table is the playing field. It has a Linotec playing field, which means it has a roughened surface. Especially when you guide the soccer ball along the striker bar with your soccer players, you have particularly high ball control and can maneuver the ball wonderfully from player to player.

Table soccer for public and social institutions

Table soccer tables in youth centers, clubs, the armed forces, or other public and social institutions are subject to particular wear and tear. For this area of application, we unreservedly recommend the Champ Elite table soccer table. The cover around the goal counter area is made of PVC. If drinks are placed there and accidentally knocked over, everything can be cleaned with a damp cloth. The foosball table is extremely robust and the multi-layer glued wood has a scratch-resistant surface.

If the soccer table is to be operated with a coin mechanism , we recommend the Champ Liga or Champ Soccer soccer tables, which are available with 20 cent, 50 cent, or 1 euro coin slots.

Optionally, the Champ Liga foosball table can also be purchased with a glass cover and ball theft protection . However, we always advise you to think carefully before doing so.

The surcharge is several hundred euros. For this money, you will receive a large number of soccer balls, which would have to be stolen before this additional cost pays for itself. However, if the foosball table is to be located in a place where there is no supervisor, for example, or where the clientele is rather "rough," then this foosball table with a glass cover may be a sensible solution. There are also establishments where players constantly put paper or other objects in the goals so that they can keep taking the ball out and play for free. This problem can be avoided with a foosball table with a glass cover and coin slot.

Foosball tables for companies, trade shows, events, or as customer gifts

We offer a special service for companies : a foosball table with your company branding. Officially, we only offer the Champ Elite foosball table with custom printing in our shop. This is because this foosball table is ideally designed for this purpose. It is robustly built and has aluminum corners on all four sides.

Once we have received the print layouts from you, we will get to work right away. The body of the foosball table is completely dismantled so that the four outer sides are exposed, i.e., the foosball ball bearings, ball feed, ejector, etc. are also removed. Then, the four sides are completely covered with foil and, finally, everything is reassembled.

As mentioned at the beginning, we don't just offer the Champ Elite foosball table with custom printing.

The Champ Elite Pro model is available in many different color combinations, e.g., long side in blue, short side in black. Or completely in glossy white. On this foosball model, we can also apply just your company logos using contour cutting , or just lettering, or both. We would be happy to advise you on this, just get in touch with us.

Since we produce everything in-house, the production of a customized foosball table usually takes only a few days.

General information about the quality, manufacture, and materials of our foosball tables

We have now listed the main differences and intended uses, but the most important thing is that you can't go wrong with any of these foosball tables. All of our foosball tables are handmade in Italy, and the wood comes from PEFC-certified, sustainable cultivation in the region. The ball bearings, kicker rods, and all other parts are also produced in Italy. With one exception: we have the kicker figures produced exclusively for us in Germany.

All this ensures that you will enjoy your foosball table for many years to come. And the most important thing is: the supply of spare parts! With a foosball table, something can always break, be it the players, the rods, etc. We have been offering our foosball tables virtually unchanged for over 25 years, and even today you can still get all the spare parts for a foosball table that you bought from us 23 years ago, for example.

Why double ball bearings and not plain bearings?

We always offer our foosball tables with double ball bearings . They are more expensive than plain or interchangeable bearings, but they offer more advantages. The game runs more smoothly because the foosball rods are easier to turn. This also makes ball control more precise and the whole game more fun. However, with double ball bearings, you have to pay attention to quality , as there are inexpensive ball bearings on the market that require a lot of maintenance and often need to be replaced. Plain bearings, on the other hand, wear out more quickly, require frequent lubrication, and do not allow the game to run as smoothly as high-quality double ball bearings.

How is shipping handled?

When you order a foosball table from us, the shipping company will contact you within a few days. They will arrange a delivery date with you. The shipping company will then deliver a pallet to you, on which our foosball table is packed and secured.

The delivery consists of two boxes. The first box contains the fully assembled foosball table. This box measures approximately 150 cm x 80 cm x 40 cm. The second box contains the accessories, i.e., legs, foosball rods, and players. This box measures 130 cm x 20 cm x 20 cm

How complicated is the assembly?

Not complicated at all. All ball bearings are already installed, and the playing field, goal counter, etc. are ready to play.

The second box contains the four steel tube legs, as well as the kicker rods, kicker figures, and springs. All you have to do is attach the legs to the body with four screws each. Then the entire foosball table is ready to go. Now just insert the kicker rods and guide them to the middle of the playing field. Push the springs and kicker figures onto them, insert the kicker rod through the second ball bearing, and finally insert a screw through the belly of the kicker figure, out the back, and secure it with a nut. That's it.

Assembly usually takes no longer than 30 minutes.

We are sometimes asked whether we can deliver the foosball table fully assembled. Unfortunately, this is not possible due to its design, as some foosball rods would protrude beyond the dimensions of the Euro pallet and could be damaged during transport.

Can we pick up the foosball table from you?

Yes, that's absolutely no problem. You'll save on shipping costs, of course. Just make sure you come with a suitable car and don't bring too many people with you. We'll need to load a box measuring approx. 150 cm x 80 cm x 40 cm into your car. With normal cars or SUVs, we usually have to fold down the rear seat so that the foosball table fits in .
