If you watch QSB's videos you can track the speed/spin of regular balls already. I think the requisite technology is already there for robots to beat humans. They can track speed/spin much more accurately and quickly, and they have the agility now to keep the ball in play. All they need to do...

For pure service return practice the Nova would probably be the best IMO. Before the Nova came out I actually specifically got a cheaper table top robot + projector stand for service practices. The location + height adjustments really allows for practices against all sorts of services. I've...

LOL, wait until you try to make a custom drill and the name won't save. That's been the case for years with no fix for such a basic function! Also, let me know how the random placement function works. I think mine used to work but it doesn't anymore, wonder how that can be fixed.... If you...

You actually can do those types of services with the with the PP/Amicus, what you need to do is to physically rotate the head to the side. The problem is that you then can't do a drill where it sometimes serve to the left, sometimes to the right.

Did you not read the whole paragraph? This is what I said at the beginning of the paragraph: "You can't use the low ring position on the Amicus/Powerpong to make short heavy backspin services." I was clearly responding to your assertion that the Robopong's height is too high, and that you're...

Right, and 2 rings visible is HIGHER than the Pongbot's height, as I previously measured. Wasn't your issue with the Pongbot's height? Wasn't it your assertion that it's too high to make low services? So why are you using a height setting that's even higher than the Pongbot's? Let me repeat...

Tell me, which ring is that?

Oh so you haven’t actually used your robot for services, but you’re gonna lecture me about how I’ve been using it wrong? :cautious:

Of course it can, I'm traveling right now but I'll record one when I get back. I'm doing this out of good faith, more to show others, but you're clearly being dishonest here. You know how I know? Because I have an Amicus, and I use the middle ring or higher position for services. You can't use...

I've had some of the same issues, and I've been doing repeated self-videoing and corrections to improve them over the past 2 months. What I've found is that sometimes cause and effect is not what you might think it is. For example, I also found that I was hitting the ball too in front of my...

Man, the power of imprinting! The Newgy robots were the first ones I used and coveted many years ago, and to my brain Robopong is still synonymous with TT robots! Fixed it now.

Why don't you show a video of those services by the Amicus/Powerpong? I've had it for 2 years now, I'm probably far more aware of its limitations than you. Try doing a strong sideback spin ball, you'll see that it simply doesn't jump to the side the way you'd expect. Try a short, heavy topspin...

Kind figured, the metal rod just brushes right below the balls and don't do anything to stir them up Having used both considerably now, I think I can make a solid comparison. Also, I think my level of play should be right around the target audience of an advanced robot. IMO the service height...

Could this be Dima's last chance?

It's more about playing distance and recovery IMO. The modern game requires you to play closer to the table, where you just don't have the time to do the Frisbee throw AND have time to recover for the next shot. The issue with BH shots is that you end up with your hand way outside of your...

Oh I know I've got plenty of time to play better, but I'm running short on time to look better! Right now, the primary objective is to warm up in the club decked out in my CNT gear and have the 1200 guy next to me wondering "hey, did that dude play on the CNT?" 😂 I was talking to my former...

Thanks! I kinda figured it was for pre-programmed drills. It def would be useful for custom drills too, or decreasing the minimum drill length from 1 min to say 30 seconds. I'm practicing FHs right now, and at 60-70% frequency that's 54-63 FH shots in a minute! Even pros get tired after 40-50...

I’ve been working a lot on my technique lately and what I’ve found is that as one’s technique improves the difference between equipment lessens. For example, a lot of amateurs loop with a rather concave motion, trying to wrap the racket around the ball. If you do that you’d probably feel a...

I'm trying to change my stance as well, but I have a different issue. My legs are bent quite low, kind of like FZD, but I don't tend to bend at my lumbar spin, so my upper body stays upright. I'm improving progressively with my hip rotation and activation sequence, but each thing I add changes...

I've been using it for a few weeks now, really digging the more realistic speed/spin ratio of the Halo. They also just updated the app a few days ago, adding a couple new functions. I'm now able to clone my custom drills (go to manage, then there's an extra option to duplicate now). It also says...
