 table that was initially developed with the support of the professional players Oktay Mann and Thierry Müller. It is designed and manufactured in China by Qingdao Rock-It Sports.

The Fireball table is known for being capable of supporting a great variety of playing styles. In particular, the table makes the execution of the bank-shot and sling-shot faster than any other ITSF table. It is notable for being the first ITSF-certified table that is not designed and manufactured in either the US or Europe.

The table combines elements of European and American designs. The player figures are relatively wide - like American-style Tornado and Warrior brands - but taper to a more rounded end, making styles involving European-style pin shots possible too.
