  1. Unspoken Rules?

    And, what about players who serve from the side of the table rather than from behind. No one would be in a position to see if the ball was above the table or behind the table. The opponent will see the player clearly ahead of the rear line but poor line of sight with the ball toss being on the...
  2. Unspoken Rules?

    In baseball, there's what is known as unspoken rules. Examples: don't steal bases when you are up 4 or more runs later in the game; in the past a brush back pitch was expected if the batter preceding the present hitter blasted a home run; and hitters don't flip the bat after blasting a home run...
  3. New TT Club open July in Daytona Beach, FL , TT robot recommendations

    In Florida, TT players are fortunate that a new pickleball complex nearing completion is also including TT. I have been asked and agreed to be the Club Rep for TT for the complex. Yesterday I toured the facility to determine the time to order tables and supplies. The complex is scheduled to be...
  4. TenniRobo vs Joola Infinity

    I like the TenniRobo a lot and especially the favorable experiences purchasers have expressed from the owner. I'm also enticed by the Infinity. As usually a definitive person, I'm still on the fence to wait for the Joola or commit now to the Tenniboro.
  5. TenniRobo vs Joola Infinity

    A point to remember with purchasing a new product without any history of heavy player usage. As good as a design and marketing for the Infinity, seldom does any new product, especially product with software, evolve without glitches. As long as one realizes they are the true beta testers, and is...
  6. TenniRobo vs Joola Infinity

    From the owner's response, with the TenniRobo, one "saves" the location of the robot then adjust the software for shot and speed location. If there pre-configured drills and this is an option, that would seem more desirable. The drills would be from a robot set location, logically one would...
  7. Why do you play table tennis?

    Why I play TT? Great question while most of us are at reduced or no play. 1. Health 2. Comradeship 3. New friends from all over the world 4. The challenge 1. Health - August 2019, restarted playing TT since 1976, weight 202 lbs. Approaching being diabetic with A1C at 6.2 March 2020, play...
  8. TenniRobo vs Joola Infinity

    I am also seriously considering a robot and these two are ones on my list. I am finding the points and details in this posting very interesting and insightful. One question. As the Tennirobo can be affixed to a tripod, can a catch net be used at the same time. I see a challenge if the height of...
  9. Table tennis robots

    This is a very interesting robot. 3 wheels with a simple design that seems a valid choice. As it is a table top unit, all one would need is to do is purchase a catch net. I find it interesting that their website does not include the list price which seems irregular. Why not put the price with...
  10. Table tennis robots

    Thanks for the personal report. Real usage from players are the best and most valid reviews. I too noticed the sound coming from the Newgy 1055 in watching videos. Your mention of the quality of parts and replacement of parts is valuable. Ideally, if others who have robots and have used them...
  11. Table tennis robots

    My post was a long one and I left out about the warranty. There was a generic mention about a live body at Newby and that they did repairs. As far as the spreadsheet, I already have created a simple one. And a search online will find several, mostly from vendors wanting to hawk their product or...
  12. Table tennis robots

    Like others, I have been researching robots. I'm one of those guys who will read about the product, find and read as many reviews as possible, and want to know what are the features, that are unique for each individual buyer. I've yet to pull the trigger on a purchase but I am very close. Here...
  13. New Pickleball club to include TT. Suggestions wanted on Grand Opening.

    Thanks for the referral. I will try to track him down.
  14. New Pickleball club to include TT. Suggestions wanted on Grand Opening.

    Prior to checking this post, I was on the phone with a player an hour plus away from the site. I have discussed with several players locally, and Embry Riddle a nearby aviation college, with an international student body, has several players, and several nearby clubs. All have been supportive...
  15. Needed dimensions for home table with robot

    The Joola 2500 Tour that I am considering ships at 250 lbs. That's hefty to cart up stairs. Others have suggested to simply shift the table to one side when doing drills to add space.
