What is the difference between BulletBall and BulletBall Extreme?
BulletBall (also known as standard BulletBall) is a game. It's simply fun for the entire family. The rules restrict physical play by setting boundaries. This removes some of the "competitive edge" that can develop when a game is physical in nature and it also slows down the velocity of the ball.
BulletBall Extreme (also known as professional BulletBall Extreme) is a sport. The rules are less restrictive and designed for the professional or highly competitive players. The speed, hand-eye coordination, and accuracy needed to propel the ball past your opponent (and score a BULLETBALL) requires a greater sense of strategy as well as skill. Some players have described it as "human pinball with the skills of table tennis".
The professional BulletBall Extreme model is used and designed for tournament play, the standard model is great for practicing for tournaments or events, and the tabletop version is good for the novist or beginner learning how to play.
Who can play the game?
Anyone can play BulletBall. Not only is it age/gender neutral, but BulletBall is also wheelchair friendly which allows the physically challenged to play competitively with anyone.
How much does BulletBall cost?
The Standard BulletBall table comes in two versions:
- The BulletBall Tabletop model (a simple, fold-up, lightweight, white game board version table with clip on siderails, which sits on top of your existing table) is $59.99, and includes shipping and handling to anywhere in the United States!
- The Standard BulletBall table model is available for a special reduced price for a limited time only for $299.99 (which includes the print of the American Flag on the tabletop surface).
Other custom tables are available for an additional cost.
How adaptable is this game?
BulletBall is easy to transport, and may be played indoors or outdoors, and while standing or sitting (the choice is left up to the individual player). It can be enjoyed in recretational facilities, rehabilitation centers, universities, colleges, dorm rooms, sports bars, and in the home.
Are there any health benefits?
BulletBall not only helps to strengthen your muscles, but it also helps as an excellent cardiovascular workout which increases your heart rate. In the gym it takes at least 4-5 days to work all the core muscle groups. Notice that after 10-15 minutes of playing, your hamstrings, quads, arms, and shoulders will be thoroughly worked while you have fun! BulletBall works your body and your mind and has been endorsed by professional athletes, physicians and the physically challenged because of its wheelchair friendly design.
How do you play the game?
The skills required to play BulletBall are similiar to playing ping-pong. Table tennis is the second most popular sport in the world (soccer is #1) with over 160 million players (40 million in the United States). It is truly an international sport. BulletBall Extreme is more intense than table tennis because the volleys last longer and you are utilizing your own hands to put "english" on the ball to create unusual spins and motions. For those that enjoy playing ping-pong....you will LOVE playing BulletBall!!!!!
One of the most unique qualities of the game is this: One of the best BulletBall players is a 12-year-old girl who can beat guys that are 18,19, and 20 years of age!
How did BulletBall begin?
BulletBall began as a hobby. During the first 22 years since BulletBall's conception, it was played among family and friends on weekends, during vacations, summer picnics and parties.
