Air Hockey Fun Facts

  • At 41 mph, the puck from a fast shot is traveling at 4 feet per 143 milliseconds. That’s over 28 feet per sec, the equivalent of hitting a major league fastball going almost 400 mph.
  • A quick release in AH is as fast as .03 sec. That’s half the time it takes the fastest boxers to throw a jab. At that speed, amazing force can be applied to the puck. The mallet is accelerating to meet the puck at 35 G’s. That’s 35 times faster than objects accelerate due to gravity.
  • Every time a puck hits the back of a goal, an angel gets their wings. 😂
