Since being invented by the Brunswick Billiard Company in the 1970’s the game of air hockey has really taken off; tournaments introduced across the country stimulated interest in the game and it was not long before literally thousands of homes all across the US had an air hockey table in their basement.

There is a good reason for this level of interest shown in the game.  Air hockey is a simple duel between one player and another.  The game is fast and exciting and really quite physical.  The tactics required to be really good at the game of air hockey involve a mixture of solid defence and aggressive attacking.  It really does have all the components of a most exciting game.

If you are interested in purchasing an air hockey table, especially a cheap one, then the best advice would be to look first on the internet, especially something like eBay as you are likely to find really good quality second hand tables for offer. Next search the online retailers; these operations often offer online discounts and may well throw in delivery too.  Only when you have exhausted these avenues should you turn to the conventional bricks and mortar stores.
