Will this stand up to real pucks?

If you're going to shoot actual ice hockey pucks hard & fast, I would expect the net to rip. We shoot hard roller hockey balls & the occasional hockey training biscuit and it's durable for that.

We only used real pucks on this net.For the younger kids it was fine however real pucks shot by anyone 15 and older will dent the post and eventually break through the net. Get a better net if your player has above average ice hockey shooting skills

Yes, I use it with my son outside. Not sure how long it will hold up , but so far its been pretty reliable.

It didn't stand up to street pucks, and I highly doubt it would stand up to real pucks. It is twice the money, but i would but the EZ goal as it is very well built.

I doubt it'd handle real pucks. It's not an ice hockey net. I'd say the 'green biscuit' street hockey pucks might even be too heavy. We're using the lighter orange plastic pucks and street hockey balls.

It's good for a street hockey puck/ball but probably not for a real hard rubber puck.

Unfortunately no, the fixtures are sealed. There are multiple LED's in each puck, so if a few fail, it really wouldn't affect the light much. Mine have been installed for well over a year. No issues.

I have two installations with two pucks in one and six in the other. It isn't noisy for me. I'm using the recommended Meanwell transformer. Could it be your transformer that is making the noise?

The pucks are just rubber half spheres that sit on the table under the back of the tracer. You can see one in the photo on the corner. They don't attach to anything and only lift the back about 2.5cm. I don't really use them, they are more of a hassle than they are worth.

They definitely do roll but it's not every shot and I don't feel like it hurts the game play. Honestly I have had countless friends over to play and no one has ever complain or even commented about the eventual roll of a puck. The bigger issue with this game is that the gears will strip if the 4 screws are not perfectly tight on each player. All in all, great game for the price but it does take some troubleshooting and fine tuning to get it perfect.

True re filling puck with coffee. However, I found I had to put a fair amount of pressure to the handle to get it 90 degrees. So be sure to apply plenty of pressure once you are sure it is in the right position, which should be clear enough. It works fine--two years after I bought it. Enjoy.

Hi Missy...I would say yes, unless you are looking for the professional type goal. We use ours on a concrete slab in front of our garage and it has worked very well for us. It's very durable and can take the hard hits against the backboard with no problem. We chose to use water and antifreeze in lieu of sand and it has sustained the cold and snow this past winter. Still looks new and doesn't bend over with your shots! We shot baskets today and would recommend this product if you're looking for a basic goal and basket. Love it!

I depends on how far you are zoomed in are. If you have about half the rink in view if would probably work fine. Also, it depends on how fast they play with the back and forth. The rotating head is made for smooth moving film shots and clicking left and right rapidly to follow fast action just won't be that functional.

Yes, the air flow is sufficient & the puck slides very well. Santa brought this to my 5 yr old last year & she has had hours of fun playing with it with her friends, cousins & parents. I recommend this product!!

The frame ridge is 108x60 inches +/- a half inch, so if your air hockey table is narrower than that it should work fine. If you need more exact let me know.

I should have asked that question myself. They are the 2.5 inch pucks. They do last quite a bit, so the smaller size may be a good think if interested in variety.

Yes, there is a little slot under the edge of the table where the puck goes. It then drops down into a little compartment on the side where you can grab it.

I've used it for three seasons coaching 6U for my cones, jersey's, and misc equipment and it has held up great. No problems at all.

Don't coach hockey, so don't know the terminology, but they would be good for smaller players age 7-11 or so based on our soccer experiences. Pennies themselves are fine. Thin, lightweight. Lasted one soccer season so far, holding up fine.

I really doubt a frozen hockey puck will not smash it it or anything else you are wearing..

I had an occasional spillage of used grinds on the tray, as well, but this issue self-corrected after the first required full maintenance. Probably greasing the movable parts "fixed" it. As far as the solid pucks -- same here. If you worry about the way your machine performs, I suggest you contact customer Philips support at 1- 800-933-7876 -- they were the most patient and helpful tech support people I have ever dealt with.

Well, sure, but it doesn't "give" so you can't stand inside it like a goalie box. It's flat and stretched flush to the pipes. But my guy uses it as a ball return as well as a goal. He just stands in front of it and tries to keep the ball from hitting the net. But the net is only big enough to be flat. Hope that helps.
