Abstract
A foot for a foosball man having a convex center portion along the operative region of the front surface of the foosball foot, and substantially straight edges, or flat planes, along the outer portions. This dual-configuration enables the foot to take advantage of the greater control in trapping, controlling and hitting the ball forward using the convex portion, and the improved control of hitting angled and bank shots using the straight edge, or flat plane, outer portions.
