Hathaway Air Hockey 3.75" Strikers and 2.87" Pucks - Black and Blue

The 3.75-inch striker diameter is the residential standard used in every Hathaway air hockey cabinet and most consumer tables sold in the U.S. Buying the wrong size is the single most common return reason in this category, because a 4-inch tournament striker will not seat flat on a residential rail.

This is a complete set of two 3.75-inch strikers and matching 2.87-inch pucks, molded from ABS plastic with felt-lined striker bases and finger-well grips. Drop-in compatible with the table type the size indicates; keep a second set on hand as a backup for tournaments or shared family play.

Air hockey strikers come in two scales and they are not interchangeable. Residential strikers measure 3 inches in diameter and pair with 2.5-inch pucks; tournament-grade USAA strikers measure 4 inches and pair with 3-inch pucks. The fastest way to identify what you need is to measure the striker that came with the table — if it measures three inches across the cap, order the residential set; four inches, order the pro set.

Replacement is also a worthwhile upgrade for tables that shipped with thin-walled factory accessories. Original strikers on budget tables typically crack at the rim within a year of regular play, and the felt bottoms wear through faster than the plastic itself. An ABS replacement set with fresh felt restores the original fast-glide action and protects the playfield from the bare plastic of a worn-out striker.
