KICK Glory 48″ Foosball Table Review

Are you looking for a durable yet elegant foosball table for your family game room? Or are you someone looking for a high-quality mid-size foosball table? If yes, then this is the table for you.

A few months ago I was looking for a table for me and my kids to play on, that is when I came across this table from KICK. I decided to give it a shot because it was mid-size and was being sold at a reasonable price.

A few months later I have to say that this table holds up well and that I don’t regret this purchase even one bit. The table is made out of MDF which is a material used in most high-quality tournament-style tables like the Garlando G-5000 Wenge or the Garlando 56” G-500 foosball tables.

Its semi-solid stainless steel rods with premium bearings put very little stress on my wrists alongside providing me with fast-paced gameplay. The ¼ ” thick playing field takes away the worry of the table breaking during intense matches.

The levelers on the sturdy legs make the playfield even when playing on an uneven surface. Most of KICK’s Foosball Tables have a 1-man goalie and 3-man goalie alternating system, this product is no different, this feature provides me with flexibility which I love.

Speaking of the goalies, the table arrives with 13 blue and 13 red uniformed men. I would’ve preferred counterbalanced men but this isn’t tournament level-table after all, it is mid-sized and weighs around 20 kg.

What I would say is, that with this table, you get what you pay for. The no-slip wooden handles are a savior! They reduce the sweat mid-match and allow me to play for hours on end.

Let us take a deeper dive into the PROS and CONS of the KICK Glory Durable Foosball table.

Pros –

1. Durable MDF cabinet:

Any cabinet made out of MDF holds up and that is why I do not doubt that this one will too. When I found out that the table weighed 20 kilos I was a little unsure of buying it as I thought it would wobble and tip over frequently, but that hasn’t been the case at all!

It is mid-size, yes but it’s not wobbly and unstable which means that we can have fast-paced uninterrupted gameplay for hours on end.

2. Sturdy MDF legs with levelers:

Similar to the cabinet, the legs are made out of MDF and are pretty sturdy, and keep the table from wobbling and tipping over. Levelers on any kind of table are always great as they allow for an even playing surface.

The table doesn’t have foldable legs so if you want a table that has this feature I would recommend the KICK Majesty Foosball Table.

3. Semi-solid rods with premium bearings:

The table has 8 stainless steel semi-solid rods which are highly resistant. My family and I have been playing some pretty intense matches on this table and the rods are top-notch.

My kids aren’t that young but if you have very small kids I would recommend getting a table with telescopic rods as they don’t protrude out of the table hurting the kids’ eyes.

The Garlando F-200 Evolution and the Garlando G-500 would be my top two in that regard. The premium bearings and wooden handles make playing a breeze.

I believe that a lot of people can relate when I say that having sore-wrists after a foosball match and having sweaty palms mid-match are the most annoying things that can happen to us, foosball enthusiasts.

Well, I’m here to tell you that you won’t have that problem with this table at all. My wrists haven’t been as sore at all since I started playing on this table and I can play much better and faster as my palms don’t sweat as much or at all sometimes.

4. Uniformed players:

I was a little disappointed when I found out this table didn’t have counterbalanced men but the players that they have provided us with aren’t so bad. The set of 13 blue and 13 red men looks pretty realistic and they have good control on the ball.

My kids love it! Also, the fact that you can alternate between a one-man goalie and a three-man goalie system is amazing. This table makes me feel like I don’t have to settle for less.

5. Easy assembly:

There is no doubt that this table is very elegant with its beautiful wood grain design but believe me when I say that the assembly part isn’t so elegant, there are a lot of screws to screw on, holes to drill, etc.

It is pretty straightforward but would be better with more illustrations. I put the whole thing together with just a screwdriver in 90 minutes but that is because I’m pretty handy.

You won’t need that much help flipping it over as it only weighs 20 kilos, but I would recommend having someone help you just in case.

The only issue that I had after the assembly was that one bolt was stripped out of the bar. I went and bought a new one for 27 cents so it isn’t a problem anymore.

6. Unlimited lifetime warranty and excellent customer service:

I read a lot of reviews on Amazon stating that KICK provided amazing customer service, I didn’t believe that until after a month I bought the table.

I called the manufacturer for some rod lubricant twice and I was given what I wanted on both occasions, and that too for free! `I have to say that I am very impressed with this customer service.

Cons –

We talked about the PROS of this durable foosball table, now it’s time to talk about the CONS. This table isn’t a regular size tournament-level table so don’t expect an amazing professional-level gameplay experience.

I found that the table can be a little too short for adults, especially those who are taller than 5’6. Very tall folks need to play seated as slouching for a prolonged time can hurt their back, this isn’t ideal. The table is great for children though.

I also found that some parts are a little cheap and can fall out after extended gameplay. They can be screwed back on by hand which is great as it is less time-consuming but it is still a little inconvenient.

FAQs about the KICK Glory 48” Foosball Table:

Is it heavy-duty enough for adults?

Yes, it can be used by both kids and adults but it is lower than the height of regulated-sized tables. As for it being heavy-duty, it is pretty sturdy but might start wearing off in a few years.

What size balls is this table made for?

This table is made for 30mm foosball tables, it arrives with two soccer-style balls but keep in mind the size if you’re gonna buy new foosball balls.

Will this table fall apart in a few months?

From my experience so far, no, the table is pretty sturdy and seems durable. I have had some pretty heated matches on it and it has not shown any signs of chipping or warping so far.

However, be sure that you don’t keep it under harsh sunlight or heavy rain as it isn’t weatherproof.

Would I recommend the KICK Glory Foosball Table:

This is a pretty high-quality table that is good enough for its price. I would be lying if I said that it is tournament-level amazing, it is great for fun times with your friends and family.

As I already mentioned above you get what you pay for which I believe is super important and therefore I would recommend this foosball table to everyone looking to buy one.
