Do the pucks really "roll" more than, say, a Super Chexx game? I read on the other listing you can try the 7/16 flat pucks, but they get stuck. True?

The reason I ask is that we already have a Foosball table and so if we get one of these, I want something that plays more like the hockey games I remember from the ice rink game room as a kid, which I'm pretty sure were Super Chexx. I remember how you could easily pass the puck to another player and I would guess that would be much more difficult if the "rolls" more than "slides". It seems there's be much more of a loss of control if there's too much of a roll to the puck.

No, the only time they really "roll" is when you drop them, but other than that they do not get stuck. I hope this helps.

They definitely do roll but it's not every shot and I don't feel like it hurts the game play. Honestly I have had countless friends over to play and no one has ever complain or even commented about the eventual roll of a puck. The bigger issue with this game is that the gears will strip if the 4 screws are not perfectly tight on each player. All in all, great game for the price but it does take some troubleshooting and fine tuning to get it perfect.

In the past, we have found replacement pucks at a game store, such as one that sells billiards and other larger floor games (bubble hockey, air hockey, pool tables). They were relatively inexpensive - maybe 5-6 pucks for around $10. If you can find a local store that sells bubble hockey, you may get lucky!

I wouldn't think so. It's definitely for younger kids. It's not that young teens couldn't use it, but they'd have to play on their knees (that's what I do when I play with my 5 year old). Also, it's not super strong, so it will break after a player crashes into it once or twice. And isn't that exactly how young teens are going to play? =) For me personally, I'd go with something a little stronger, or make sure that they do the rough-housing out at center ice and not around the goal. Hope that helps!

I don't think nets have age limits. :) That said, compared to a full size NHL net, this is much lighter, and a bit smaller, so the more serious the game and the larger the players, the greater chance of the net bouncing around a bit. It'll hold up, though.

I usually prep the board by counter rolling it/folding back the sides. The mat will curl if I don't and I find a few seconds of effort gets rid of the need to even try to weigh down the edges. You can also roll up the board playing side facing out so that when you unroll it it curls against the table and poses no issues but for some reason I find that scandalous.

The 415 comes with the solid blue/red players. I did get a set of the hand painted and they were simple enough to install. The extra set also came with two extra pucks btw.

I mean I couldn't see why not? You dont need special goalie skates to play goalie. Just worry about the wheels, the wheel they come with are made for indoor use.

I have no problem all balls stay in net. I removed the target because I was wearing a hole in it? Try removing the target to see if this resolves the problem.

As in field hockey? I don't know how large they are compared to a baseball. If they're the same size then I suppose it would work. But it is intended to be at an angle and to cause pop flies, it doesn't sound like a field hockey type of play.

Let me say that your child will thoroughly enjoy this hockey table. We bought this for our three year old and my husband and I love it just as much as she does. The pucks that come with the table were not as sturdy as we would have liked, nor were the handhelds. However, we were advised before the purchase so I ordered new handhelds along with pucks from another company and they are perfect. Please do not let this in any way take away from the table, because the table is great. I hope you like it.

Hi, thanks for the message. Since these are a little bigger you may sense a little faster speed. Also, something to consider is the contact patch. Are these wheels wider or narrower than the wheels that come on Penny boards? I cannot speak to this. Finally, the hardness may be a little different as well. Let me know how else I can help.Thanks!

Hey bud. Fundamentally its really hard to pick a difference between these as there is mostly cosmetic differences. My personal opinion would be to get 13 or 12, whichever is cheapest. 12's passing is easier than 13s. but 13 had better shooting control. personally, I'd pick passing over shooting any day (since theres hardly ever more than 20 shots on goal in a match). Happy Gaming holmes ;-)

Well, sure, but it doesn't "give" so you can't stand inside it like a goalie box. It's flat and stretched flush to the pipes. But my guy uses it as a ball return as well as a goal. He just stands in front of it and tries to keep the ball from hitting the net. But the net is only big enough to be flat. Hope that helps.

I have a 14-15# version, and like the others have stated, it's got very little bounce. It's great for resistance, and I've been doing floor slams with mine, and it's got only the slightest bounce. If you want bouncy, Valeo's basketball-style medicine balls are great. They have a good amount of bounce considering the weight.

If you use the automatic feeder you need to use the pucks, you can also use the chips aswell if you wish!

My son and I thought it'd be fun to time it for you so we did. lol With a good spin in the shogun steel stadium alone it spun for as long as 3:42! Giving it a few more spins we got varying times of around a 1:30-2:30. But it is a good sturdy balanced bey and my son wins frequently with diablo nemesis. Yes, it depends on the mode & whether or not it was a good spin, but it spins for a while and is pretty tough to beat! It's pretty cool looking too. We interchange the parts a lot in our house though. I'd recommend it. Have fun!

From my experience, each puck will make about two of the provided cones depending on how much you "pack" it. I have not seen any additional molds available on Amazon, only on the Hawaiian Shaved Ice website. They are reasonably priced, but the shipping cost is about four times the cost of the extra molds, so I chose not to order them. I have never reached a point where it seemed like the machine needed a rest, but the most I've made at one time is four cones.
