Tornado tables are the most popular ITSF official table in North America, with the largest player base and the only tour available for competitive players. The Independent Foosball Promotions (IFP) organizes a tour of large tournaments across the United States. Team USA and Team Canada both select Tornado as their home table when competing at ITSF multi-table tournaments. There are no other tournaments in North America with comparable prize pools, number of participants, and quality of competition. The competitive players in Toronto consider Tornado tables as their favourite due to the build quality that allows for extremely predictable and repeatable ball control and shot accuracy. For these reasons, the Tornado T-3000 is the table of choice for official GTA Foosball events.

- Hard, smooth white plastic balls
- Glass surface with banked corners, and one goalie player
- Counterbalanced, plastic players, with square feet
- Telescopic rods with metal spring bumpers
- Built for fastball, and best for ITSF rollerball rules
This is another popular foosball table found in Toronto due to its durability and availability from suppliers and the used foosball table market. This table was designed for Fastball (aka Rollerball, or Al Volo), which is considered a specialty game by the ITSF and helpful to improve one’s eye-hand coordination. This style of gameplay is easier to learn, and often the favourite of inexperienced players. There are bars downtown Toronto, in Mississauga, and Vaughan with coin operated versions of these tables.
BONZINI
B90

- Manufactured in France
- Rubbery, yellow plastic balls
- Flexible surface with banked corners, and one goalie player

This table is also designed for control and is the favourite of Quebec players. The Association Quebecoise de Baby-foot Bonzini (AQBB) is the governing body of foosball in Quebec that organizes multiple annual foosball tournaments as well as leagues throughout the province. This table is very high quality, but completely different in design and feel compared to the other official tables. Every September players from Toronto make the drive to Montreal for the Canadian Bonzini Championships tournament where over a hundred players compete during a weekend long tournament earning prize money, medals, and bragging rights. This table is the second most popular ITSF official table in North America.
Garlando
World Champion
- ITSF Official Competition Table
- Manufactured in Italy
- Hard, smooth white plastic balls
- Glass surface with banked corners, and one goalie player
- Non-counterbalanced, plastic players, with square feet
- One piece rods that extend through the table

The Garlando ITSF official table is another popular table found in Toronto, and is designed for speed. Garlando has existed since 1954, incorporating high quality materials to create durable competition tables. The table is designed for a faster gameplay. Maintaining ball control is tougher on this table because the ball is hard plastic and the surface is glass which reduces the friction between the foot of the player, the ball, and the surface. With practice and adjustments, however, it is possible to have a controlled game with standard pull and snake shots.
Roberto Sport
Sport Revolution
- ITSF Official Competition Table
- Manufactured in Italy
- Hard, smooth white plastic balls
- Glass surface with banked corners, and one goalie player
- Non-counterbalanced, plastic players, with square feet
- Telescopic rods with metal spring bumpers
- Built for fastball, and best for ITSF rollerball rules
The Roberto Sport ITSF Official table is another table that is designed for speed. Rollerball is really fun on this table due to the high side wall ramps, hard play surface and solid plastic ball. This is a well built table, but slightly lighter and lower quality compared to the Garlando. It is the most affordable ITSF official table, and used versions are often available for sale in Toronto, for less than $1,000, while new versions can sometimes cost as much as $1,800.
