Hi, coach!

I think if I increase BH loop consistency like my FH loop then I will become advanced player. But I have problems to find sparring partners to train.  I am unsure that robot will help because there are many opinions. Some people say that the ball from a robot and the ball from real opponent are very different. Thay say the ball from robot flies not naturally. On the other side, robot will save huge of my time. Because then I don't need to go to TT clubs. I am planning to train with robot at home with kitchen tables. How well will robot help to improve my BH loop? Robot is expensive. But is it worth to buy it?

Hi Ardak,

I think robots are good for just working on one stroke or the better robots sone set combinations.

They are getting better but there is no replacement for training with a partner.  If you do not have a partner to train with then they are an option.

Hi, coach! 

Yes, I want to improve one stroke: BH loop against backspin. Because I couldn't improve it during several training sessions with partner and in the games. Thank you, coach!

Hi, coach! Finally, I bought a robot. I am training at home with a kitchen table. After few sessions of training BH topspin against backspin, I played a parter. Noticed that my confidence growed a lot. In the game did many bh topspins vs backspin with confidence, accuracy also have grown.
