Ray-2-thumbs-up  Hey Brad,

Fireball Foosball tables absolutely ROCK! and changes the dynamics of the game to even a higher level than the very best competitor tables in the market today.

I am sure it won’t be very long before Fireball is seen in more and more tournaments, in local entertainment centers, and people’s homes.

I am so impressed with the quality and playability of this table, I could buy 10 more if I had the room. (editor's note...Slightly exaggerated)

You guys have done a phenomenal job of taking this game to an all new level.

Best Foosball table ever produced, hands down!

Congrats to you and the entire Fireball team.

Look forward to meeting you one of these days.

Best regards

Ray Robichaud

PS: I have attached a few pics of the game room.

Everyone loves the Fireball and I now have the coolest games room in the crew...

Brad, Love the table, ball control is just amazing and the bank shots are back.

Still adjusting to shooting a consistent pull shot, the ball having a bit more grip to the playing surface, but push/push-kicks seem easier.  Well got to go, hope all is well up in northwest and that foosball is doing well.

Brad, we are surely enjoying the Fireball table!  We have spent hours on it in the past week.  My kids think it's the best family Christmas present ever.  Our skills have improved tremendously in just a few days of playing.  We are really digging it, as well as the unique balls.  I'm going to take two of those balls back to Hong Kong for us to practice with there.

I'm sending you a picture with the sacrilegious backward assembly.  I tried to back out a few of the pins, but I broke the pilot diameter off of the removal tool, which made it impossible for a poor hammer-wielder like me.  After smashing a few fingers, I decided to leave it for now, as we are departing tomorrow morning. 

Very best wishes to you and your team for a successful 2012.  Every few years some change is good.  Keeps us alive.  

Warm regards,

Don

Sorry Don, it is a good story!  I will replace that pin driver, but I can't help your mechanical skills. Thanks, Brad

 We all played on it last Monday and the response was overwhelming.  Everyone absolutely loved the new table.  Most thought it was as good if not better than the best table Tornado had ever come out with, and we all agreed it was better than the crap they were putting out in the early 2000’s.  I sure feel its better.  It took a few guys some time before they got their pull shots down on it with the slightly heavier rods, but most finally succeeded in getting a good rhythm down by the end of the night.  
 
I can’t thank you enough for putting together such a fair deal and finding an affordable way for me to upgrade to this phenomenal table.  The improvement is staggering. It was worth every penny of the shipping charges and then some.  I was somewhat disappointed with my last table, but this more than makes up for it.  I will enjoy this table for many years, as will every serious player in the Las Vegas area.  You have earned a loyal Fireball player for life, and it wouldn’t surprise me if you earn many more after they get the chance to play on this table.  Thanks a million!

4/19 Just checking in with you to determine when Fireball will be coming out with their own ball. I'm very impressed with the table, but I have been using the Tornado ball, which isn't my favorite... Ray

Sold Ray balls first of JUNE

6/15 The new balls are fantastic!  Better grip, but also roll true.  I can tic tac forever!  Before I thought I could do everything well, now with this table and the ball, WOW... Thanks... Ray

...I love this table, I have to tell you, it's the best thing ever, love the tic-tac and superb ball control and easy pin setup like nothing else. We are going to do some games on it this week...

Thanks so much, Addis

John M. writes on Foosball.com forum after purchasing balls;

"I have not played on a Fireball table yet...but I can honestly say that using the F-Ball on my Tornado is pretty incredible compared to any Tornado ball.

The F-ball has totally replaced anything I use on Tornado!"

The tables are very well done, very sturdy, and quick to set up.

As a player:
The ball control is excellent; quick tic tacking on the 5 bar is easy, pin and walked the ball in front or back makes you feel very confident, In fact I’ve seen more players shooting front and back pins shoots on pick up games than never before.

Jarring do not even moved the ball; you realized your opponent jarred at you because the “bang” noise on the wall but it doesn’t affect your reception, so this makes the game more fluid and less controversy when there is no referee at the table.

The man’s foot design is excellent for grabbing loose balls, great for brushing and catching.

Handles and Rods are great! Rods are super fast, light weight but do not bend. Your arm does not wear out as much as it does in other tables after hours and days of shooting.

The magnetic beads are nice detail for keeping a “stylish” tracking for goals, tables and time outs.

Adjusting from other table to Fireball is like driving a different car than yours; it just takes minutes, the truth is you don’t even think you are playing on a different table.

The table will not play for you!
If you are a good player you will be a good player on this table as well, if you are a non experienced player, then you still need to practice, regardless the table you play on!

As a player/promoter:
Getting the rods off the table with the little men attached is fantastic to save space while transportation or saves time on set ups and dismounting the game room, Also this saves times for simple goalie war time.

The custom leveler feet come with rubber attached to them. This will keep the table on place regardless the floor’s surface or material, (forget about rugs or cutting rubber to put under the feet).

Set up the table on free mode is very simple but makes it easier for you since you have less work to do.

I haven’t changed one single man (figure) from Fireball, they seem to be indestructible at least by foosball use, neither have I had change a bearing. Bearings are very thick!!

Another improvement is how the legs get attached to the cabinet, the legs gets inside of the cabinet, and there are 4 bolts that attached each leg from the outside. This system make it easier to set up the table and, will prevent the legs from getting loose and avoid the table to get shaky as you see with old tables that has been pushed a lot at clubs and bars (at least here in CR)

The balls do not have texture or hairs but they are NOT slippery at all, and the best part is, you just wash them and they gets like new. No wear off at all. You will have to do only minor adjustments on how the ball bounces.


Fireball’s development engineering is great!!!


Their customer service is another plus, they are quick and always willing to help!

Leo, Thank you for the comments but will you please give your baby a Fireball figure for Christmas... Brad
