Seth "Pechpong TT" Pech made a good video about the usefulness of robots. He improved a lot in many skills and USATT levels and still uses it for training.
If you add robot training to your monthly program, you'll become a better player. No doubt about it. I've added returnboard training to my routine ("rbpon" as opposed to robot training alias robopon) and it has made me a better and more confident player. Next on my wish list is the Pongbot product, I feel it's going to be a game changer for my solo training and eventually my game and skill set, despite its limitations. Yes, the max ball speed and max spin seems (rather) limited compared with IRL club players or the Power Pong Omega but my verdict on this issue is still pending.
But most of all, rbpon is endless enjoyment (true joy) and self-satisfaction for me. Only after 10min in, I feel like a fish🦐 in the ocean🏊♀️, happy like a clam🗜️at high tide🌊. Today I did a 3h8min session, the day after tomorrow my next, etc., I just caht get enough of it (and I realize that it's me ... other club members do NOT enjoy rbpon -- maybe the same with swimming in an outdoor pool in the midday sun, I super enjoy it while others are fed up after 50yards and wanna get out), so much fun fun fun!
I imagine with the Nova I'll have even more fun with my solo workouts. It remains to be seen 🙈
