This game does seem a bit off though. Nizzy and Ehab were probably tired from 3 days of play. For Air Hockey on the highest level check out the following video. Go to vimeo dot com /28752903 Again, video doesn't do the speed justice (high speed cameras required) but the shots are amazingly fast. Any casual player would be lucky to score any points against these players. Most pros have 20-30 years of play under their belt to get to this level.

Until someone gets to know the game the first impression is that it should always be faster. You have to realize this isn't ping pong where the ball cannot come to rest... if the ball could come to rest in ping pong the players would slow down the game and take more accurate shots. Pro air hockey players take calculated shots...the puck possession, defense and accurate offensive shots are what make a great player. Also, video does not do this justice like being at the other end of the table!

This is boring. Dude on the left is always reaching out too far, and trying straight shots, but his accuracy seems bad. Which is why the other guy is scoring more often. I swear we had more interesting and more competent games when I was a freshman in highschool.
