How much do air hockey pucks cost? - Sport & Outdoor - Others

Yeah.

Air hockey pucks are made of Lexan polycarbonate resin. Their official colors (USAA approved) are yellow, red, and green.

The usual puck has a 2.5 inch diameter, and weighs around 20 grams.

Here are some basic rules as defined by the USAA:

• A face-off or coin toss decides which player gets the first possession of the puck.
• The first person to score 7 points by shooting the puck into the opponent's goal wins the game. When the puck breaks the horizontal plane inside the goal, a point is counted, whether or not captured by the electronic scoring device.
• Once the puck is on a certain player's side of the center line, he/she has 7 seconds to hit the puck back across the center line. Otherwise a foul is committed and the opponent receives possession of the puck.
• Placing one's mallet on top of the puck, known as topping, is a foul. Here the opponent receives possession of the puck.
• A player cannot touch or strike the puck with any part of his/her body or with any object other than the mallet. Doing so causes a foul and possession changes hands.
• If the puck is on a clear path into the goal and the player stops it with anything other than the mallet, this is goaltending. Here the opponent receives a free shot.
• Hitting the puck when it is on the opposite side of the center line, or crossing the center line completely with one's mallet causes a foul. Here the opponent receives possession of the puck.
• Red lines in the air hockey should not be crossed by the air hockey mallet. (Catalan Champion Chip)
• If there is a red line on the goals, it means that you cannot keep the air hockey mallet behind the red line. (Catalan Champion Chip)
• If the puck leaves the table, a foul is called on the player that caused the puck to go out of play due to offensive motion and the opposing player gets possession of the puck. Generally, when a player causes the puck to leave the table with a forward motion of the mallet, even defensively (known as charging), the foul is charged on them. An out of play foul results in the opponent receiving possession of the puck.

• The players playing cannot touch the puck at any time during pl ay, but if one player scores they can put the puck in loser's side.

Air Hockeypucks are slim discs made of Lexan polycarbonate resin. Standard USAA-approvedpucks are the yellow Lexan, red Lexan and the Dynamo green. In competitions, alayer of thin white tape is placed on the face-up side. Air Hockey pucks comein many shapes and s. The shapes could be a triangle, hexagon, or an octagon.

The Air Hockey mallet is used to strike the pucks along the Air Hockey table in the direction you want to strike. You should strike the puck with enough force in order to be able to score a goal at the other end of the table, after a couple of game you'll get the idea.

If you want an approved for USAA tournaments then you can check out any of the 8 foot long Dynamo Air Hockey table, just stay away from the "Hot Flash" series.

In the "Hot Flash" Air Hockey tables the painted rails make the puck fly off a lot, and fluorescent table-top makes it hard to see the puck.

A new Dynamo table price varies from $1500 to 2500$ so you should take it into consideration.

Recently moved and, somehow, on puck housing has come up missing. Can't find manufacturer name. Searched and searched. Any advice?
