Hathaway Rapid Fire 42-in Air Hockey 3-in-1 Multi-Game Table
Shipping & Delivery
Overview
The Rapid Fire is a 42-in multi-game table with three game configurations sharing one cabinet: air hockey, table soccer (hockey sticks and ball), and lacrosse (sticks and ball). The cabinet's high-output blower powers the air hockey configuration; the other two games use the same surface without air. Cabinet is MDF and plastic at 42 in L x 20 in W x 28 in H, assembled weight 27.5 lb. Playing surface is 41.3 in L x 19.4 in W. Ships small parcel in a single 28.6 lb carton.
Assembly approximately 60 minutes. Includes 2 red strikers (3 in), 2 red pucks (2.5 in), 2 red hockey sticks (13.5 in), 2 hockey balls (2.75 in), and a 4-in soccer ball. 180-day limited warranty. Rated for ages 4 and up.
Construction
A built-in high-output blower pushes air through the playing surface perforations for the air hockey configuration. The air layer lifts pucks off the surface, reducing friction to near-zero and producing the fast, smooth puck movement that makes air hockey distinctive from table-top puck games without air.
Air hockey uses the pucks and strikers. Table soccer uses the hockey sticks and ball on the same surface without air. Lacrosse uses the same sticks and a ball. Switching between configurations takes under 2 minutes — each accessory set stores in the included game organization system.
At 41.3 in long, the playing surface is comparable to a standard 42-in game room air hockey table. The slight undersizing relative to the 42-in cabinet provides the goal box depth needed for the game's scoring zone without reducing the playfield length below functional minimum.
Action-oriented rink graphics on the playing surface — the Rapid Fire's surface depicts hockey arena markings that work across all three game configurations without appearing incongruous on the soccer and lacrosse setups.
At 27.5 lb, the Rapid Fire is the lightest full-function multi-game table in Hathaway's lineup. One adult can move and reposition it without assistance, making it suitable for rooms that serve multiple functions where the table is set up and stored between use sessions.
2 strikers, 2 pucks, 2 hockey sticks, 2 hockey balls, and 1 soccer ball are included — all accessories needed for all three game configurations in the same box.
Buyer's Guide
The Rapid Fire (BG1157M, $125.99) is 42 in with three game modes; the Triple Threat (BG5001, $899.99) is a 6-ft rotating table with air hockey, billiards, and table tennis. The Rapid Fire is a compact tabletop-to-floor table for smaller spaces; the Triple Threat is a full-size game room piece. At $774 less, the Rapid Fire is the appropriate choice for children's game rooms, apartments, and rooms where a 6-ft table won't fit. At 27.5 lb, the Rapid Fire is movable by one adult; the Triple Threat at 194 lb is a permanent installation.
The three game modes on the Rapid Fire — air hockey, table soccer, lacrosse — target the same audience as multi-game tables: households with multiple children who cycle through game preferences. The 42-in cabinet requires approximately 100 in of floor length with 28-in standing clearance at each end — less than a standard foosball table at this length. Ships small parcel at 28.6 lb.
