Hi All,
So was just wondering and it might have been discussed already but I want to know what people think of using robots to help with their training.
I sometimes struggle to find a partner who is a consistent enough blocker to practice with but now I have access to a pretty good robot that will simulate many drills. It could start with a short back serve then a long dig followed by up to 20 more random or input positions on the table for example.
Or just simple stuff like bh, middle, bh, wide drills with topspin maybe an open up to start from a long dig. Are there any views on the ball you receive from the robot or is watching the ball and hitting it correct and consistent a good place to start with them?
Or do people think ( I know some do) that a robot is crap to practice with. Any advice on good drills or good practice with a robot to push myself.
I am quite good at the basics and the bigger stuff but consistency of my my shot landing lets me down. If I can hit 9/10 on the table instead of 5/10 on the table then surely a robot can help with this, yes or no??????
So what you think people, robot or strictly human TT practice???
Cheers
