Sportime Dragon tournament foosball table bar, 16 mm

Version: 4-piece set. The Sportime Tournament Foosball Rods Dragon are rods of category 4. Category 4 rods are suitable for official tournaments and can withstand the highest loads. We recommend these foosball rods for professional players and for foosball tables in public areas that must endure vandalism and heavy use.

The Sportime Foosball Rods Dragon are elastic, perfectly straight, and feature a hardened, smooth chrome surface. In a complex manufacturing process, these Hurricane high-end foosball rods are made from steel tubes through many steps. Unlike solid rods or cheaper hollow rods, these rods maintain their straight shape. They can withstand loads of at least 60 kg and return to their original shape when bent.

Professional tournament foosball tables are always equipped with hollow rods of this type, as they do not deform as easily as solid rods. Another advantage is that hollow rods are lighter, allowing for faster gameplay.

The inner walls of the rods are made of 3.5 mm thick steel. The steel tubes are industrially chrome-plated multiple times and treated against corrosion. In laboratory tests, these rods withstand a 24-hour salt spray test.

The foosball rods have a diameter of 15.8 mm, commonly referred to as 16 mm rods. Typically, foosball sliding bearings have a diameter of 16 mm, which is why the foosball rods are 0.2 - 0.3 mm thinner, allowing them to run in the foosball table bearings with sufficient support but minimal friction.

The rods have 4 mm holes for attaching the foosball figures. The holes are precisely drilled, accurately, and parallel through the center of the rods. This allows the screws for the foosball figures to be easily passed through the rods, ensuring the figures stand accurately side by side. The length of the rods and the position/distance of the holes are aligned with the German foosball table tournament standard.
