Air Hockey Pucks and Mallets
Air Hockey Pucks
Nothing makes your table play better than a new puck. Air hockey pucks are discs made of plastic and made in 5 sizes:
- 2-inch: Kids table or tabletop air hockey
- 2.5-inch: small table or tabletop air hockey
- 3-inch: hybrid - medium table
- 3.25-inch: Standard/full-size
- 3.5-inch: official puck size for tournament
They can also come in circles and other shapes such as triangle, hexagon, octagon, or square.
Pucks are available in many colours but standard USAA-approved and AHPA-approved pucks are yellow, red and green.

Air Hockey Mallets
Air hockey mallets, also called pushers, strikers or handles or goalies are what you need to hold in your hand to push the puck while playing a game of air hockey.
New air hockey tables usually come with a set of mallets (and pucks) so you can start playing right away. However, some of the mallets may not be of the highest quality. They offer a decent gaming experience, but they can hold you back from enjoying your new table if they are the wrong type, weight, or not as smooth as you wished.
Worst, they can be cheaply made and deteriorate or break, leaving you with no other option than to buy a new set.
To get your game up to level, you really need to invest in a good set of mallets to help you deliver stronger and more accurate punches.
Recommended mallet
Here is our main mallet recommendation. The Dynamo Air Hockey Goalie Mallet Set of 2. If you are an intermediate player using a large table, this puck might be for you.
