  • These guys actually can shoot the puck, not just rotate and hit the puck. So sad Winwell and Sportscraft don't make this anymore.

    YES! I have been searching the last few days for this old game! I remember seeing this rod hockey game advertised when I was a kid, but I couldn't remember what it was called. Thank you for uploading! Now, "game on!"

    Stiga still makes that style of Rod Hockey, and ICE still makes the Super CheXX Bubble Hockey machines, both are NHL Licensed and can be customized to feature whatever 2 teams you want

    This is a pretty rare find these days. A couple a year will pop up on ebay for 60-100$. Problem is that shooting action breaks inside. You can fix it, it's a big pain in the butt without the parts though. If you have a long metal thin filament type material, than you can dremel out the shooting action and disassemble the players to remove the previous ones, which wear out and break because they're plastic. I did that on all ten of mine after buying a broken one on ebay for 80$. Absolutely love this game. Super fun. One of my favorite rod hockey tables up there with benej and stiga.

    Had this when I was a kid. I know a few things were broken so I got rid of it, but I think I'm gonna keep an eye out for another one at a thrift (even if it doesn't have wristshot action).

    I had this as a kid. Still my favorite rod hockey game. Unfortunately two of the handled got kicked off on separate occasions, ruining the wrist shot action and the game was eventually discarded.

  • @JnJShiffler
    @JnJShiffler  Před 10 lety

    Yep, the furniture polish helps the surface stay slick and the puck is faster. One of my games (I've bought several) came with a heavier rounded puck that is the best. The edge profile is a little lopsided so it doesn't roll much. I have many of the square pucks but will use this custom one as long as we don't lose it.

      Justin Shiffler You wouldn't happen to have an Irwin Winnwell Top Corner Tabletop Hockey game that you'd be willing to part with? I had one as a kid that I loved (played it until it fell apart) and would like to buy another one, but there are no complete sets for sale online and I don't want to spend $100 on three incomplete/broken sets

    Dred Lee, you are entitled to your opinion but to compare these games with Top Corner and conclude it is the worst game makes no sense. It's an entirely different table hockey game experience. Stiga is not better than Top Corner, it's a different game. Having the ability to rip shots past the goalies shoulders is really an interesting addition to table hockey imho. Stiga is fun, my daughter prefers to play it. Me, I'm loving TC. My son, finds it difficult. I bet he will soon be killing me with top shelf slap shots. The Slapshot action add to the fun factor tremendously.

      TrOuTster5 I've sampled all the games from Stiga, to Coleco, Munroe, Powerplay etc the list goes on. You are correct they are all a different experience and imho this game is the worst experience of them all. Cheap quality and a fun concept when you have no idea how to play tablehockey. The second you learn the concept of the one-timer and how to defend, that top corner crap is absolutely useles against a decent player much less a great player. Two thumbs down. Great game for fans of bubble hockey in bars where nobody knows what they're doing

      Justin Table hockey and those who are serious is all about the one timer from winger to centreman whether it's up high or down low. If your strategy involves trying to pick corners then you'll get the absolute snot beaten out of you in any tournament. Look at all the fans of this game...NONE of them have a clue how to play. Exhibit A....the video. Come on bro, that game is garbage.

      @@JnJShiffler It's possible to shoot high on the STIGA but it takes some skill to do it. It works by pushing the rod sideway which makes the player tilt and move the player with a snappy motion. But I rather prefer playing along the ice. It's tiresome to look for pucks behind furniture. By the way, a thing that is better on STIGA than most other games is that there are zero blind spots and no safe passes. There's always chance to break all types of passes. On the Top Corner you can always safe pass from right defender to center which is a cheap way to attack.
