Are the players weighted/balanced? What material is made of?

This is a very good table for the money... very grippy surface... the men are balanced but they will fall down with a good jarr ...personally I think it has more overall control than Tornado table ... just takes getting used to like any other table.

Heavy enough. They are heavy gauge steel,and very sturdy. We are extremely satisfied with our Miranda ladder ball game!

I can't tell you. I bought this as a donation for a non-profit organization's use. I have held the pins and ball, but can't hazard a guess on weight other than to say they are not heavy and not super light. Light enough for children but not too light for teens or adults. All ages can use it.

it is made of plastic, it will feel sticky. pay attention to the exercise not the feel of the ball.

I believe steel. We used them for the CC team that my husband coaches and they worked great! Hope that helps!

the balls are hollow steel, with some sort of chimes inside. I don't know the exact weight, but about what you would expect from hollow steel balls filled with metal chimes.

They are weighted. Are they solid? That's a good question. They are not cheaply made, I'm happy with the set. I've seen more expensive that I didn't like as much.

They are made of a resin type plastic. Seem to be really durable. I only weigh around 150 so I am not exactly heavy. Should be able to handle much more though.

It feels more like rubber. It's the same size and weight as an NFL football, but the material is more basic. Great football for a casual flag football game.

There are made of hard formed plastic, there OK for comfort not something I would want to sit in all night. The kids love them, I've had them over a year and still working great.

Correcting my previous answer. The men on the Tornado "Sport" model tables are NOT counter-balanced with a metal weight in their head. The "Worthington" the "Elite" the "Classic" and the "T3000" do have counter-balanced men that stay up. For those non-"Sport" model tables, the little men have a metal weight inside their head, so they are balanced and remain up, if desired. Severe table vibrations can sometimes cause the players to move, but generally, the men stay where you put them.

It is solid, you inflate it just like a football or volley ball. it is rubber. My grand children used it on Sunday, had a lot of fun with it. Hope this is helpful.

It is made of a plastic composite material. It has a satin type finish and can be weighted in the bottom (there is a plug). I've not had any trouble with it blowing over in the wind when at fairs.

The material is very lightweight, but I wouldn't describe it as flimsy. I purchased 3 of these, for ages 5,6,7 boys, and they've held up pretty well. They love them, wear them to school and play.

The balls are round with weights on the inside and black foam on the outside; they roll straight, not wobbly. The pins stand straight and are slightly weighted at the bottom to hold them up. They are well-designed to work in conjunction with the ball to fall when knocked. We love this set and play it often! Hope this is helpful. Gretchen M.

The poles are made of lightweight aluminum. Each pole weighs 12 oz, according to my very accurate laboratory scale.

No. Don't know what they are made of (heavy plastic?) but they are neither as heavy nor as hard as golf balls. They are substantial and do not feel flimsy at all.
