About Escalade Sports, Atomic, and Triumph
Escalade Sports is a U.S.-based sporting goods company that owns and operates a portfolio of recreational game brands, including Atomic and Triumph. Atomic has long been one of the most recognized names in air hockey and combo game tables, known for quality construction and reliable multi-game performance at accessible price points. Triumph rounds out the lineup with billiards-focused combo options. Together under the Escalade umbrella, these brands offer the widest range of 3-in-1 game tables available in one collection.

The Escalade Lineup
Triumph Phoenix Billiard Table with Conversion Top — $1,049
The Triumph Phoenix Billiard Table with Conversion Top ($1,049) is the entry point in the Escalade collection — a billiards-focused table that adds ping pong via a conversion top. Where the Atomic models deliver true 3-in-1 functionality, the Phoenix is a more straightforward two-game setup: pool as the primary surface, ping pong as an on-demand addition. It's the right choice for buyers who want a quality billiards table with the flexibility to switch to ping pong when the mood calls for it, without paying for air hockey functionality they may not need. At $1,049 with free shipping, it's the most budget-accessible option in the Escalade lineup.
Atomic Hampton 3-in-1 Combo Game Table — $1,679
The Atomic Hampton 3-in-1 Combo Game Table ($1,679) is the most versatile option in the collection — combining billiards, air hockey, ping pong, and dining in a single piece of furniture. The Hampton's 84-inch playing surface handles all four functions, and the included dining top converts the table into a dining surface when games are put away. This is the table for game rooms that want maximum flexibility in one footprint: billiards for a serious pool game, air hockey for fast competitive play, ping pong for table tennis, and dining for gatherings. At $1,679, the Hampton delivers exceptional value for the breadth of functionality it provides.
Atomic Northport 3-in-1 Combo Table — $1,699
The Atomic Northport 3-in-1 Combo Table ($1,699) is Atomic's premium multi-game offering — a step above the Hampton in build quality, finish, and overall construction. Like the Hampton, the Northport combines billiards, air hockey, and ping pong in one table, but brings upgraded materials and a more refined aesthetic that holds up better in designed rec spaces and dedicated game rooms. At $1,699 — just $20 more than the Hampton — the Northport is the better long-term investment for buyers who plan to use the table heavily and want it to look good doing it. For anyone who can stretch the $20 difference, the Northport is the recommended choice.
Understanding 3-in-1 Game Tables
Escalade's 3-in-1 tables work by layering multiple game surfaces into a single structure. The billiards table provides the base. Air hockey and ping pong functionality is built in through convertible tops and panels that switch between modes. Because the ping pong conversion tops are sized to fit the 84-inch billiards surface beneath them, the table tennis playing area is smaller than regulation ping pong dimensions (regulation is 9 feet x 5 feet). This makes Escalade tables ideal for recreational family play but not suitable for competitive training or tournament-level practice. For dedicated performance ping pong, browse our full lineup of indoor ping pong tables from brands like Butterfly and Joola.
How to Choose the Right Escalade Table
By Budget
If budget is the primary constraint, the Triumph Phoenix at $1,049 is the most accessible entry point — delivering a quality billiards table with ping pong conversion at a sub-$1,100 price. For buyers ready to invest in true 3-in-1 functionality, the Hampton at $1,679 and the Northport at $1,699 are close in price. The $20 difference is worth it for the Northport's upgraded construction.
By Functionality
The Triumph Phoenix is a 2-in-1 (pool + ping pong). The Hampton is a 4-in-1 (pool + air hockey + ping pong + dining). The Northport is a 3-in-1 (pool + air hockey + ping pong). If you want air hockey, choose an Atomic model. If you want dining functionality, the Hampton is the only option that includes it. If you want a clean three-sport setup, the Northport is the recommended call.
By Space
All three Escalade models are built around 84-inch (7-ft) billiards surfaces, so the footprints are similar. Plan for at least 4-5 feet of clearance on each end and side of the table for comfortable cueing and play. A room of at least 16 x 14 feet gives comfortable clearance for all three game modes. If your space is tighter, consider a dedicated indoor ping pong table with a compact folding design, or browse our just for fun tables collection for space-saving options.
How Escalade Tables Compare to Standalone Performance Tables
Escalade combo tables are recreational-grade multi-game furniture — they're not designed to compete with dedicated performance ping pong tables or regulation billiards tables. The ping pong conversion tops are smaller than regulation size, and the billiards surfaces are 7-ft rather than the standard 8-ft or 9-ft found in serious pool environments. For families and casual players, this is a fine trade-off: you get three or four games in one footprint at an accessible price. For players serious about table tennis specifically, standalone tables from Butterfly, Joola, Stiga, or Killerspin will deliver better playing quality at a lower price point.
