    if they are cork balls
    they should be passed under the flame of a lighter
    It is through mistakes that one learns

      You need to chew gum

      No, not the lighter, the lifespan of the ball is reduced by half.

    Hello Florent,

    If you want this BALL, take the HD Yellow Balls from NEW GAMES.
    They are heavy, they grip well and provide great precision for shots!!

      Hello

      As a Bonzini owner, I never imagined that balls could have such value... I must really be buying junk (for friendly and family use).

      If the ball is white cork sanded with sandpaper, removing the paint does not damage the ball. Then wash the ball and let it dry. Warm the ball with a hairdryer, then take a piece of chewing gum that has been chewed for at least an hour. Take a very small amount, about two or three grams, and rub it on the ball while using the hairdryer. The chewing gum should melt onto the ball. Rub well until it spreads all over the ball. Be careful with your fingers; if you put too much on, remove it with thinner or solvent or white spirit. The result is guaranteed. Let it cool and play as much as you want. The chewing gum acts like a kind of tar.

      I’d rather suggest chewing a piece of gum for 10 hours straight because otherwise it stays too soft.

    Hello,

    YES, it's the best at NEW GAMES, you can choose between the super-grip HD BRUTE FuzzBall and the yellow HD that are grip+ for the already seasoned babies. However, I do not recommend the plastic ITSF balls at all as they leave marks on the wood and the backboard.
    For ME
    1° the FuZZBall
    2° the yellow HD
    They last a really long time, I buy a maximum of 10 per year and there are 6 of us playing in the break room at work.... about 20 games every day! STRESS-RELIEF guaranteed,
    We play on the CLUB Bonzini foosball, the latest model in the BONZINI range, the café foosball clone!

    For LEPORGE, you can either continue to buy dozens of low-priced balls or try the TOP :)

    Good foosball,

    Daniel

      remove the polish if it hasn't been done already
