Shelti Foosball Tables
|
Shelti was created and is operated by a group of investors, including a few of the top executives from Valley Recreation Products, the makers of Tornado and Dynamo foosball tables. They operate in a space that has been known for manufacturing game tables for over 50 years, and they released their first foosball table after launching the new Shelti company in 2001. Their company also manufacturers darts, air and bubble hockey and billiards tables. They focused on the American style of foosball that was invented in the 1970's with a hint of play characteristics of the older European style tables. Their cabinetry is of the highest quality, and they innovated some industry firsts in their designs, most impressive of which is their new black finished steel rod. They also enlarged the foosball man's toe, and improved man, ball, and surface feel which enhanced ball control capabilities.
