#1 ITSF Foosball FAQ
-
How much space do I need for this table?
The table itself is approximately 143 cm (57") long and 76 cm (30") wide. However, with the solid rods fully extended, you will need a width of roughly 130 cm (51"). For comfortable play, we recommend an additional 3-4 feet of clearance on both player sides.
-
Does it require lubrication?
The table’s steel roller bearings are designed to run smoothly without it. If you want even faster action, use a silicone spray (like Garlando’s "Slidy"). Never use vegetable grease, as it will attract dirt and clog the bearings.
-
What kind of rods does it use?
The table uses 16mm solid (going-through) steel rods. These are preferred for professional play because they are 50% more torsion-resistant than standard rods and will not bend even under intense use.
-
Are the players counterbalanced?
Yes, the Garlando #1 ITSF features professional-grade counterbalanced players.
-
How long does assembly take?
30-45 minutes. This table comes mostly assembled, all you need to do is attach the legs and insert the rods and screws and you are ready to play.
