Learn about the indoor game and outdoor game and decide what shuffleboard equipment you need

Indoor shuffleboard and outdoor shuffleboard are two different games; and beginners should look at both before deciding what equipment to buy and which shuffleboard supplies to ignore. Outdoor shuffleboard requires far more space and players need good weather. Indoor shuffleboard is more compact and can be played all year round.
Try: You can learn all about indoor, or table-top, shuffleboard at Shuffleboard.net. Beginners can learn the indoor rules and variations of the basic game. You can learn about the outdoor game at Shuffleboardtable.com. Information about the rules, history and equipment is available there.

Find local or online shuffleboard supply outlets to look at and buy your equipment

Some like to browse online and some like to touch and feel the shuffleboard cues, shuffleboard discs and various supplies. Beginners should be comfortable with the equipment they select.
Try: There is no better place than Online Sports to review sports equipment over the Internet. The Sports Authority is a national chain that carries shuffleboard equipment if you want to try before you buy.

Beginners can get good deals on used shuffleboard equipment

As a beginner, you may not be sure that shuffleboard is for you. If you want to hedge your bet a bit, try purchasing or renting used equipment and play the game a few times before you take the plunge on the purchase of a new shuffleboard pole or shuffleboard stick.
Try: Atoncer is a site that has used or pre-owned equipment in stock and also holds auction for sports equipment, including shuffleboard equipment for beginners. KD Amusement sells pre-owned game room supplies as well as new, and has a section for shuffleboard equipment.

 

  • Learn the game and love the game before you spend big on shuffleboard as most of the equipment is pricey, even if pre-owned.
