I am currently a member of a private pool (billiards) club. They also have a table tennis training table equipped with a Butterfly Amicus robot. There is no coach and most of the time no one else around, but the robot allows for fully customizable drills through a tablet attached.
What would you say are the most effective drills that I could set up? Right now I have the following:
*Only backhand or only forehand diagonally, lowest height setting to barely clear the net, maximum topspin and close to the maximum speed
*Two balls on forehand and two on backhand, same settings as above
*"Smash" setting, either forehand or backhand, height around 2xnet, close to table edge placement, minimum topspin. I use that for looping practice as well
*Serve setting, short, middle of the table, just high enough to clear the net, close to maximum backspin (maximum backspin from the machine is ridiculous, I doubt it could be generated with a racket)
Looking forward to your suggestions!
Julian
