Table Construction

What immediately stand out about the Tornado Tournament 3000 is the stainless steel laminate, durable end protectors and the bold Tornado logo graphics that show that this table is for the serious foosball player. It weighs in at over 350 pounds and will stay level and rock-solid stable during even the most heated foosball matches. It features a split cabinet design with a full access top that can be easily removed for easy cleaning and access to components.

The oversized leveling feet make this table super easy to level, even when on uneven surfaces. They are solid and heavy duty legs that feel very sturdy just like every other component of this commercial grade table.

Playing Experience

The Tournament 3000 comes in either single goalie or 3-man backline varieties and also has the banked corners like any regulation foosball table. It's obvious that every component on this table is built with high-quality materials and has been engineered specifically to provide the best playing experience. This table really kicks your game up to the next level.

Extra Features

One of the really nice extra features of the Tornado Tournament 3000 is the thin-wall bearing that allows for better ball control due to having an almost flush bearing against the sidewall. You can easily see the ball along the side of the table and maneuver your men all the way to the wall. These 3-piece bearings are a noticeable improvement over cheaper tables and feel extremely nice and smooth.

The Tournament 300 also provides a 9-ball drop that is conveniently located on the sides of the table rather than the end.

Assembly

The assembly process of the Tornado Tournament 3000 is extremely simple. Tornado has made the extra effort to allow the table to be shipped and packed efficient and assembled even faster. They claim it should take you no more than 30 minutes to from receiving the box to playing your first game on the table.

Conclusion

Everything about the Tornado Tournament 300 just screams quality. It's a high-end table for the serious foosball enthusiast. If you are just moderately into foosball or looking for a table you can just use once in a while, I would not recommend this table. But if you are serious about foosball, this is the table for you. The Tornado Tournament 300 is built to stand up to abuse and provide the ultimate foosball playing experience that can last a lifetime - and likely even longer than that.
