Billiard Evolution 4 Cork Foosballs

Some players at our house prefer the ultra-fast hard plastic balls that never stop rolling (or "die") on the table, others prefer the Tornado-style high friction balls that are great for controlled playing. These cork balls are a decent middle ground, allowing a fair bit of control without dying frequently.They are quieter than other balls we have, though you are probably not going to be putting your baby to sleep next to the table even so. They are harder than I expected for being cork.The light weight makes for a noticeably faster moving ball when kicked, too.We have no intention of settling on "one ball to rule them all" instead relying on a few balls with different attributes depending on who wants to play what type of game, etc. These definitely have a nice niche and probably are most-used ball right now.

No problem so far. They seem to work just like the cork balls at the arcades. I hate those super hard ones. You can catch and pass these. I wish they were white. I haven’t tried to paint one yet, but I striped it with a sharpie for a little contrast

Perfect for keeping your table free of dents, dings, scuffs, and scratches. They’re soft so you don’t get monster kicks out of them, but they’re solid enough to be played with like a normal ball. They’re also very quiet which is nice.

I'm marking these as 3 stars. Reason being, they meet the requirements for what they are. The reason I don't rate them higher is because I legitimately hate playing with them. They fly all over the board as they're so light that they seem impossible to control. I suppose there is a good reason for making them out of cork, but they're obviously not for me.

Feels lighter than "Official Foosballs Tornado Dynamo Shelti" Red and Yellow balls but are really nice to play with. Same size and can go just as fast and you can make all the same shots as the Tornado balls. A must have if you want a variety of balls to play with. They probably ware down faster than the Tornado balls though but they remind me of the balls from the 80's if not the exact same ones from the coin operated tables. A MUST HAVE! if you love foosball

I am an amateur fusbol player and live in a rowhouse apartment. I bought these b/c I read cork balls are very quiet yet still very playable, plus they were the original type of ball ever used. So far I am very pleased. They are much quieter than the soccer balls that preceded them, and they seem to be holding up just fine, after about a month and a good number of best of 3's.The only thing I didn't notice is that they are just slightly larger than the balls I had previously, and they do not fit thru the service hole on my table. I was able to remove the plastic trim around the holes and now they fit. Just something to check before you buy any balls.Overall, great value and I would definitely recommend these.

Ever chip a Fooseball while playing? Neither have I. In fact, I don’t know anyone that has.These cork balls on the other hand, chip super quick.

Pros: Quite, maybe safer for kids under 7.Cons: too light and they get dented too easily. The dents lead to the ball not rolling well and getting stuck often. They don't play like normal balls; you have to hit them while the ball is ifurther in front of you.
