Are Table tennis robots worth it

Training

Aaron Lin Asked 7 years ago

I have one 1.5 hour training session with a 1 on 1 coach, along with playing casually with some friends who are similar to my level or slightly above ONCE a week, so i play 2x a week on average.

On top of that, I was thinking whether I should get a robot (something like the Newgy robo-pong 2040/2050), but i'm sitting on the fence whether i should get one?

Do they help with getting better? For example, better technique? more consistent shots? training footwork? 

Is it beneficial to get one? Would I actually become better if I used one on a regular basis versus if I never touched one before?

Also, Are the robots only good until a certain level (for ex: until amateur/intermediate level), then it becomes obsolete if i want to get better?

Hi Aaron,

I wrote a blog on this topic a while ago that will answer a lot of your questions.  Take a look at the Blog on  Table Tennis Robots

Let me know if you have any other questions after reading the blog.

Your Opponent's Weak Spot

When playing a game, you need to think about where you place the ball. Every player is different and you should have an understanding about where their weak spots are. You should think about this for when you are attacking, blocking, serving and receiving. The weak spot may vary between these different parts of their game.
