The playfield has the perfect grip and speed due to the PVC laminate material. However, the ball keeps getting stuck in its system created to eradicate dead spots making the ball return quite challenging.

Another plus for the table is the foosmen, who come with ridged feet that assist with balance, and shot accuracy. The foosmen are also locked to ensure they do not keep moving around hence a better experience. The rods are solid steel with guards that help protect the platters while allowing for quick gameplay.

The balls are usually hard to follow due to the black playfield, and its smooth surface gives the play a good pace. It also features hollow metal rods and a three-goalie design, making it even more comfortable for users. The foosmen are well-balanced, and the ball-returning system is superb.
