New Butterfly robot Amicus PRO

hey guys.. long time no posting in this forum..


just did a 4 ball program to improve forehand and wide forehand and recovering backhand and then a middle backhand


this sequence it seems to used often in a match so i had to make something that simulates match play.

i am happy that the robot can accept such custom programming for most of my needs

my BH needs much work and my slow old body needs to loose some weight!

My two cents:

If you take table tennis seriously and if you want to progress, then what a robot should deliver is: balls, that behave like real balls in a real match.

That's the single most important feature. The newgy 2050 does not deliver that (tried the newgy, too, my dealer has this two models). Has only one head. If you turn the balls faster, there will be more spin in the balls. Long balls with few spins aren't possible. Dead balls aren't possible. That's for play around a bit (OK for me, but not what I intend), serious training is not possible.

Yes, the Amicus Pro cannot be programmed to deliver different spins within one programm. May be it will be able later, but: As you cannot see what spin it is (there's no hand of a human being you can observe), it's questionable for a table tennis robot to give different spins within one program anyway - my opinion. I would have to learn by heart the sequence of spins. Not somethin I like.

For an ambitious player, the purpose of a robot is to automatize and enhance specific techniques, that's where the Amicus Pro helps perfectly. The fact, that you can set up to 6 placement points within one program (and a randomising of these placements, so you never know where balls will land - combined with easy or adventurous topspins, backspins, sidespins and spinmixes - and up to 100 balls per minute): that's giving lots of variety. And fun. And heartbeats. I didn't miss the change of spins one minute.

If you want a real match where you face different spins and placements, get a real partner - that's what I have been told and that's what sounds reasonable to me.

Der_Echte,

great to see you again too.. you too have a great holiday season and hope you have a great year next year!

anything new and upcoming from Nexy next year?

i switched from my clipper to a slight slower more controled blade "yasaka extra special" it has a touch more dwell and with H3 and xiom omega asia it weighs 198... i think this is the magical weight speed power control and dwell set up for me now using the poly ball...

Hi guys,

How much additional room is required from the end of the table when the net is unfolded?

Thanks

Less than a meter should be more than enough.
It's hooked onto the edge of the table, so you actually need only very little space behind the table.

Hi ,
I’ve just measured it.
The net measures 30 cm from the edge of the table. You could have a gap of 35 cm and be ok. Ideally though to put it up and down it’s easier from behind the table but can still be done from the side.

Or you could just move the table , put it on , and move the table back again !
