• Design: Goal and striker rods for 3 figures or goalkeeper. The Sportime tournament rods Dragon are categorized as category 4. Category 4 rods are suitable for official tournaments and can withstand the highest loads. We recommend these kicker rods for professional players and for kicker tables in public areas that must withstand vandalism and heavy use. The Sportime kicker rods Dragon are elastic, perfectly straight, and have a hardened, smooth chrome surface. In a complex production process, these Hurricane high-end kicker rods are made from steel tubes through many steps. Unlike solid rods or cheaper hollow rods, these rods maintain their straight shape. They can support loads of at least 60 kg and return to their original shape when bent. Professional tournament kickers are always equipped with hollow rods of this type, as they do not deform as easily as solid rods. Another advantage is that hollow rods are lighter, allowing for faster gameplay. The inner walls of the rods are made of 3.5 mm thick steel. The steel tubes are industrially chrome-plated multiple times and treated against corrosion. In testing laboratories, these rods withstand a 24-hour salt spray test. The kicker rods have a diameter of 15.8 mm, commonly referred to as 16 mm rods. Typically, kicker sliding bearings have a diameter of 16 mm, so the kicker rods are 0.2 - 0.3 mm thinner, allowing them to run in the kicker table bearings with sufficient grip but minimal friction. The rods have 4 mm holes for attaching the kicker figures. The holes are precisely drilled, accurately and parallel through the center of the rods. This allows the screws for the kicker figures to be easily inserted through the rods, ensuring the figures stand accurately next to each other. The length of the rods and the position/distance of the drill holes are determined by Sportime...
