Spotlight: Ella the first female foosball player
NOW IT’S HER TURN!
Why did the women not yet jumped on the pitch on the Foosball tables?
ELLA was born under the hands of a craftsman who, with great dedication and affection, has carved the image and likeness of her male partner. The exact proportions but with a woman body. And the same desire to dribble, make through passes and score spectacular goals. Her game is as precise and her shot as powerful as the men’s.
On this pitch there are no more obvious physical differences. ELLA and he play under the same conditions. Complete equality. Ella is a products from RS Barcelona
With ELLA, the first female football player is there to stay. And they are all handpainted, what color would you like?
Now is the time for ELLA.”Now it’s her turn”.
NEW: RS Barcelona shuffleboard
Shuffleboard tables give you a challenge in the distance, with only the path separating you and your desire to win. The precision of your shot connects the departure point and destination: to play. Reach the limits.
RS Barcelona shuffleboards steer away from the bulky designs. This is a design piece that wonderfully works together with the other RS Barcelona family members such as the RS foosball tables and pingpong tables.
The shuffleboard table has always been characterised by a long, imposing wooden play area that gives it real presence. The RS Barcelona shuffleboard tables breaks with convential wood by using metal, a raw material that’s part of the DNA of the RS Barcelona brand. Rather than a heavy block of solid wood, these shuffleboards are fitted with a 0.06 in thick steel sheet.
Available in two sizes 366 and 275cm and a variety of 6 different colors. Remeber it’s not how big you are. It’s how big you play.
