Hi Ian,

No we don't recommend robots at all.  The newer ones do have some good features.  I don't know enough about the individual robots to recommend any of them.

ALOIS, In an ideal world you would not need a Robot. In rural Canada there are very few players of Table Tennis. I remain unbeaten in a small town but cannot get to competitions etc. A Newgy 2050 robot has been my lifesaver and improved my game immensely. It can play at a higher level than most opponents and I can take a bag of balls and use its' net as a collector. I have had it for two years now and am finally entering a Provincial Championship having had only occasional a'real" games. I can understand you would not need to use them but you might reconsider not ever recommending them.  JD, Nelson BC Canada.

Hi John,

You are right.  I see they have a purpose.  I meant we don't recommend any particular robot.  In your situation they will have a purpose.

Like others, I use a robot because I can't find good people to play with as often as I need to practice. Robots can be good for working on strokes and footwork, but don't simulate a real game very well, IMO. The biggest frustration I have is  that with Newgy's and any bots under $1000 USD, the spin and speed are linked together. In the club I play at, often both players push several balls till someone hits it a little high or deep, letting the other person attack. My Newgy can't approximate that... the balls are way too spinny for a moderate speed backspin. My 2 cents...

Hi Ian,

could you share those drills you have programmed yourself?
