Franklin Rod Hockey Pro Franklin Sports

★☆☆☆☆ I had a hockey game like this when I was a kid in the 1970's. I don't know who made that one, but this one is garbage. The action is terrible, the metal levers are flimsy, there are areas that the players cannot reach the puck! At 53 I wanted to treat myself to a toy and have some fun with my kid, but this was made so bad it is depressing. If you never had one before, you might think it is ok, but if you had the ones made in the early 1970's, you would see the difference. I'm returning it and spending 2X more for the Stiga model. I hope that won will be good.

★☆☆☆☆ I bought this game as a birthday present for my son. We had about week worth of trouble free playing before it began falling apart. This product is built very-very cheaply.Control rods are made of plastic. One of the players lost a stick after 3 weeks of playing as it was poorly glued in place.Layout of the board is so poor that it is possible to get puck in places where no player can dig it out and so then you have to flick it with your finger.One of the players began to stick while trying to move forward after week of playing. Several players jam while you try to take a shot. Save yourself aggravation and look elsewhere.Oh, I forgot to mention that when I pulled this game out of the box it released such a bouquet of toxic smell that I had to take it out of the house into garage for a couple of days to "air it out". Whatever was being released into the air from this thing just could not be good for you. I'd give it no stars at all, but there's no such option.

★★★☆☆ The game itself brings back memories, but on this one the rods are plastic and the sticks are small, making it hard to hit the puck. KDOG

★★★★☆ Alright, guys. I was a little nervous to order this table after reading some of the reviews, but I pulled the trigger when it came up as a lightening deal. I figured it was worth a shot. I will start by saying that I am not handy in any way, shape or form. I am, however, persistent. Yes, this beast took a long time to assemble--probably around 3 hours. I would wager that at least 1/3 of that time was spent trying to figure out the assembly instructions, and then undoing something I had misunderstood, but subsequently figured out and re-did correctly. So...for all of you parents waiting until your children are nestled snug in their beds on Christmas Eve to attempt assembly, this review will be my Christmas gift to you.First. When you unbox everything and sort the hardware, DO NOT PANIC when parts J and F appear to be missing, as mine were. I was thisclose to running to the hardware store, when I decided I had better look over the instructions one last time to make sure I wasn't missing anything else. Well, lo and behold, J and F were already attached to bar Z2. Whew, first disaster averted. Next, when installing Z2, make sure you don't forget to put a Z1 support underneath each rod.Next, when adding each side (DD), first tighten all screws only loosely. People having trouble with holes not lining up are most likely tightening their screws too soon. There needs to be a little bit of wiggle room in order to get all holes lining up correctly. Once you've got all screws secured in holes, THEN go back and tighten them while making sure that the floor (W) stays in its groove. If it seems like it is preventing the side pieces from attaching flush, then it is out of its track somewhere. Figure out where, and push it back into place.Read more ›

★★★★☆ We really enjoy this table, its fun, solid, and the right size for a family room. I took off one star because it took me 3 hours to assemble without any power tools. Granted I am slow at building stuff but there are a lot of screws and each man needs to be attached.The pluses are its great table once assembled. Heavy solid table. The instructions are only 5 pages, and that's all you need, it is simple to put together. Its a fun table and my entire family enjoys playing a quick game on it.Cons:Assembly time, standard foosballs are bit big to fit through the kick off opening, but they do go in. Balls occasionally get stuck in the net and require tilting table. Ball removal hole at the end of table is made for kids hands.If would recommend this table to anyone looking for an affordable high quality table. I don't think you can beat the price. Just make sure you have a power screw driver when you attempt to build this...UPDATE:I consider this table a gateway drug. I LOVE playing the kids in Foosball. I used to play a lot in college on regulation tables, and I notice the differences but for the size and the price you really can not beat this table. One other note, we sometimes have injury time outs because the screw will come loose from the players. That's my fault so not really a knock, but you should consider some type of loctite for the men.

★★★★★ My grandsons loved it!

★★★★★ My son plays football in middle school and has gotten a new Shock Doctor each year. He was very excited this year to have added the Flavor Fusion and he loves the bubble gum taste. The outside layer of plastic is more rigid, but still comfortable and somewhat flexible, while the inside is a "gel-type" plastic. The mouth guard seems to have very good coverage with minimal bulk. Molding it was easy with very clear directions, and after molding, it fits beautifully (even though my son has somewhat crooked teeth, with a mix of baby teeth and grown-up teeth). The tether is well designed and quite functional. The mouth guard comes with a $10,000 guarantee for any dental work needed. We will definitely purchase again in future years.

★★★★☆ If you don't mind the flavor added and you do have a small mouth, then this is actually the most technically and perfectly designed protector that I have seen.This is a well made protector and it is super easy to adjust and use. The real challenge for me with this protector is the size. I'm not a big guy and yet this is very small for my mouth. It says adult, but it must mean small men and average or smaller women. This same company makes some other protectors that fit average or larger men much better.The fruit punch flavor is a bit weird and makes you drool while wearing it. Fine, if that's your thing. Weird for me!

★★★★★ My daughter loved this mouth guard. Molded fine and its not too thick to where its irritates her. Cant talk to the flavoring but you can sure smell the synthetic flavoring. So as long as she likes it, she is wearing it and seems to have good coverage in the mouth to be 100% effective.

★★★★★ I had a few issues with this table. The fan didn't work then the scoreboard stopped working. Dazadi took care of everything and now the table works great. I would highly recommend if you are an adult who wants a really fun game to pass the time. Very sturdy and large enough for adults. I paid for the assembly but if you can do it yourself I would recommend. I have enjoyed many hours playing air hockey with my friends and I am so happy I made this purchase. The customer service was outstanding. I will buy from Dazadi again.
