Why I chose the PongBot OMNI S Pro over other robots on the market

So I’ve been playing table tennis for 3.5 years now. I’m currently floating around 1700-1750 USATT rating. I was rated around 1000 when I got my first table tennis robot- a NEWGY 2055. I really enjoyed this robot, especially the 10 or so pre programmed drills that I used the most. However, I knew this robot was lacking in that it could only do one type of spin per drill. If I wanted a different spin, I had to manually adjust the robot head, and select the appropriate drill.

So I began petitioning to my lovely wife my NEED for a new robot. She told me I had to buy her a house before I could get a new robot. After I bought the house, she said I needed to finish the backyard before I could buy a new robot. After we laid the patio and synthetic turf, I thought it was time for my robot, but turns out my wife was late and the little digital read out on the home test said PREGNANT. So naturally my wife said I had to finish the nursery before I could get a robot. Once I did that, I was sure I could get my robot but there was one final hurdle- I had to sell my old robot before I could buy a new one.

During all this chaos in my personal life, my club mate let me borrow his Power Pong 5000. I really loved this robot, but I also quickly realized that this robot could not produce a right spin or left spin serve with a realistic trajectory (long story short, the ball would bounce of the deflector plate when aiming to the left or right and alter the trajectory of the left/right spin. Unfortunately, I had to exclude practicing pendulum / tomahawk serve returns from my robot practice routines.

Then I saw this robot that looked sleek and futuristic being produced in China. I saw that this robot’s head moved left and right, up and down, and rotated along its vertical axis to produce the full range of spins. Not only that, the robot was listed for $800 less than the Power Pong Omega and $900 less than the Butterfly Amicus Prime. I had a few more questions about the robot, and I am happy to report that PongBot customer service got back to me promptly and answered all my remaining questions. With all that in mind- it was a no brainer for me to choose the OMNI S Pro over any other robot on the market. If I didn’t have a mortgage and a baby, I probably would have splurged on the HALO S, but after playing with this robot for several months now, I’m confident that that robot will serve me until I’m at the top of my table tennis game.

REVIEW OF THE OMNI S PRO Robot

I purchased this robot, and it arrived to my door in less than a week (PONGBOT appears to keep a stock of these robots in the USA). The robot was well packaged with protective Styrofoam. Once I had the robot unpacked, it took me all of 10 minutes to get the robot and net set up, turned on, and synced to both the app on my phone and the EPAD that came with the robot.

I tried out some of the pre-programmed drills. They are good for beginners. Or for just warming up. I wish I could edit the ball settings on the pre-programmed drills, but maybe that will be in a future update.

What I truly love about this robot is the custom drills. You can adjust the following factors when creating a new drill:

  • Left / right placement
  • Ball height (up or down)
  • Speed (up to 10, increments of .5)
  • Spin (up to 11, increments of .5)
  • Frequency (0%-100%....I have found 60% frequency is a pretty typical frequency of my forehand top spin rallys with my club mates if I’m a step or step and a half back from the table)
  • Spin type (it’s a little easier to adjust on the “circle” on the cell phone app vs the EPAD)
  • # of repetitions for that specific ball in the drill
After a few hours of programming, I was able to create over 20 drills that replicate many of the multiball practice I used to do with my coach:

- all sorts of different serves, from pendulum serves with left under spin or left top spin, to tomahawk serves with right underspin or right topspin. Both short and long.

-half long underspin balls

-faulkenberg drill

-short underspin to forehand + long underspin to wide backhand

-short underspin to forehand + long topspin to forehand (and the same combo with backhand)

-long underspin to forehand + long topspin to forehand (and same combo but to backhand)

-random underspin shots to backhand (to practice backhand flick or push)

-several different typical rallys that I experience in match situations

The robot is very accurate and very powerful. I haven’t use spin or speed higher than 6, and I feel like that shots are already insanely high quality coming from the robot.

You’ve maybe seen some of the conversations I’ve had with other robot owners on this forum. I think there are a lot of good robots on the market, but I truly believe that PONGBOT is the best robot for the best price. Plus, it can produce an realistic side spin shot that other top robots on the market fail to do so. If you’re in the market for a new robot, you should definitely consider a PONGBOT robot. Their customer service is excellent, their products are awesome, and I believe with a few key updates in the app, they will be the best user experience for the best price you can get from a robot.

Thanks for the review! I have a few questions if you dont mind:
1) what thickness is your table? Would you see any issues setting it up for a 19mm table?
2) how much space behind the table does the ball catcher net occupy? measured from the edge of the table to the max horizontal distance the robot occupies

And I've been wondering whether the Omni is(?) built "quality-wise" basically very similar and comparable to the Nova which i own —like an extended version of the Nova ('twin siblings': brother vs sister, very similar DNA, construction\engineering principles)— or the Omni is rather more like a cousin who grew up naturally big boned and more muscular in a different country under better living conditions.

I completely opened up (disassembled) the Nova in order to … (in dis Omni thread i woht tell why :rolleyes:), and along the way learned all i needed to know about its 1) construction, 2) engineering principles, and 3) build quality. To put it ambiguously, i was amazed. The Nova is actually very user-friendly\easy\fast to be opened up, just with a long PH2 screwdriver. And to summarize my overall impression of what i had learned, again ambiguously, "the Nova is built to a price" 😃

So I'm wondering if i would get the same overall impression when checking 1) 2) 3) of the Omni:

"is the Omni built to a price too?" 🤔

(only owners who've disassembled both the Nova (as i did) AND the Omni (as nobody does lol) could answer that important(?)** question, so prolly we'll never find out)

I have just got mine. When I power it on I hear like a motor / crunch noise that doesn't go away until I power it down . When it is running the drills the motor is quite loud.

I'm wondering if it's faulty. Does yours make any noise when it's sitting idle powered on?

Hello , I have just got my order and the motor makes a noise when it is powered on and idle. It does not go until powered down . It is also quite noise when running any drill. Is this normal?

Can't answer your question about the Omni but I am intrigued by your Nova-surgery account. Have you posted your findings somewhere?

Also separately, how has the Nova been for your as a TT robot to train and learn on?

Not sure what you mean by built to price, but do you have any proof that you own the nova and you took it apart?

Hey I have a really old table. Not sure the thickness. In one week I will be the proud owner of a joola sc 3000, which is a 22mm tabletop. I do not anticipate any problems. When I get home I will measure and answer question 2.

No, I don’t think that is normal. Mine doesn’t make any noise when idle. I did notice that there is a slightly louder than normal noise when I have the robot programmed to top lower but only a little bit and it doesn’t worry me. I’ve used that ball thousands of times already no issues. You maybe want to reach out to customer service for this one.

hi, no i haven't posted the photos yet. since there's no harm to do so, i'll do it. but not in this l*** thread, which is for the omni anyway. I'll try to open a new thread soon.

Glad that you asked, because without asking or showing interest or showing gratitude (for my contributive posts and threads), threads die a natural death. Anyway.

Just as a quick comment, the Nova has been servicing me well, once custom-programmed, i mean really well, for serve-receive practice, i.e. fast long serves with loads of realistic side spin from the corners of the table (i.e. pos7 and pos9), so-called Tomahawk. That's basically the/my true use i get out of the bot. Each serve drill consists of 4 balls (with different reps per ball) for distributed placement, and by varying the type of sidespin (3+3) and the corners (2), you get 12 different serve drills, each with 4 different ball placements. The other day i practiced for 5.5h nonstop receiving those 48 different serve balls, and already acquired match-sufficient mastery for standard non-aggressive receive. For some of the 12 serve drills it's possible to employ an alternative, more aggressive receive.

It took endless hours though to program the 48 balls. In my nova thread we could post/share the 48 balls details (ball settings, pos7/pos9 details).

I'll keep practicing these 12 serve-receive drills. And as long as i can read the spin from the opponent, i have full confidence in receiving all of them, no matter whether fast long or short slow and also no matter the amount of spin. If after 1 year the bot broke down (imaginable: internal heat break down components) and i perfected my serve-receive skills with it, then one could argue that that alone was worth the price paid (instead of paying for a professional human coach for serve receive practice).

Imho the nova is 'money paid for (temporary) function', i.e. you pay a price and do get much training and learning for 💴it, no doubt. The height setting is also of no concern, the balls fly as flat/low as you wish.
But some payers would appreciate if you got more than just function from the money paid.

Like what?

Well, let's put it this way: as soon as you touch/handle/lift the base, you'll feel/start to understand what you're missing and what else you would've wanted to have gotten from the monies paid other than just function. And when you open the device, examine, and understand what you're seeing then that feeling keeps growing. In contrast, have you ever got a new FENIX 1x18650 flashlight (or 1x18650 headlight) and held it for the first time in your hand? You won't forget that feeling and what it told you about the product, you were simply in awe. Then compare that feeling when handling or opening up the Nova. Nuff said here about the nova.

The other day i practiced for 5.5h nonstop receiving those 48 different serve balls, and
Actually it was from 16:00 to 21:45, including two breaks for opening up the device, removing the wheels, and cleaning them. The spin setting was always set to the maximum, i.e. 7, 8, 9, or 10, depending on the flight path (the app automatically changes the max possible spin when you alter the flight path), so no wonder that after 2 hours there was substantial buildup on the wheels. Once opened up, i left the device open, i.e. after t=2.0h, and continued training until t=5.75h. This way i could monitor the build-up more easily but you'll notice right away when the balls come out with less spin. Then it's time again to unscrew the wheels and clean them (there are harmless tricks to do the cleaning). The Nova's wheel-buildup is very similar to the deflector-buildup on the unmodded Amicus btw, and their users know what a pita it is to remove the buildup (=plastics from the new balls). From what i could deduct, either buildup originates from using brand new balls; they have an original surface roughness and factory dust. The max spinning Nova's wheels do a polishing job (generating slide friction heat at the ball contact "point") and the polishing residues (of the ball plastic surface) get deposited on the wheels. One can try different methods (no alcohol please!) to get the residues (=buildup) off of the Nova's wheels. And the sooner you do this maintenance, the easier it is to get it off. So with cheap brand new balls and this set of 12 serve-receive drills (all at max spin setting!), you'd have to do this kind of maintenance after the very first 2.0h in!
And again, as mentioned, the buildup is🙏 more of a problem with brand new balls, not with "broken_in" balls. But then again, for crazy spin to hit your racket, you would want to use brand new balls, not broken_in balls: i am overly pleased with the amount of sidespin the Nova produces, yes, but you can only enjoy this with brand new balls AND topclean wheels. Once all balls are broken in, there's less buildup forming on the wheels 👌, and even with clean wheels the max spin has become less crazy, maybe by a loss of 35%, which is still a pretty good amount of sidespin.
In summary: Be prepared to do wheel maintenance work very very soon, when you're totally new to the Nova (i.e. new Nova device, new balls) and start the non-stop 12 serve-receive drills practice session for the very first time. The sidespin hitting your racket during the first 30min is crazy, then it gradually does downhill as buildup is forming on the wheels.

I have been interested in Nova S Pro as a cheap robot to do hone technique building and improve receive so I really appreciate your review and your honest thoughts around Nova's functional strengths and build/design weaknesses.

Look forward to your thread in the future but as you put it for this particular thread, "nuff said about the nova".

Hey I have a really old table. Not sure the thickness. In one week I will be the proud owner of a joola sc 3000, which is a 22mm tabletop. I do not anticipate any problems. When I get home I will measure and answer question 2.
thanks, that would be super helpful!

As for the table thickness, please accept being the guinea pig :) I am not able to get this information from pongbot (they keep saying "its fine" without providing specific answers) but most robots are made for 25mm thickness, which I suspect has two implications:

1) You may need to put a spacer between the support and the bottom side of the table (unless the robot has some easy screw-based adjustment)
2) The bounce might be slightly different, I'm wondering if that affects the placement of the pre-programmed routines.

These effects will be more pronounced on the table I'm looking to buy (which is 19mm) so I would appreciate your comments here before I pull the trigger :p

I can tell you my 20 year old table is no where near 25mm. Probably closer to 15, if that. No spacer was needed for the robot to fit on the table. When I used the PowerPong 5000, I had to put a magazine in-between the little hook things that went under the table, and the table. With the newgy 2055, I did not have to use a magazine to fit the robot on my table well.

And yes, I don’t use the pre programmed drills really. Could be because the table. I’ll let you know how much I have to adjust my custom dills once I get an official ITTF table.

Hey so I just measured the robot. From the edge of my table to the back of the robot, including the ball catching net, it goes back approx 17.5 inches, but to be safe, I would say 18 inches. The part that extends back the further is the pole that is part of the net.

I had a response orignally from someone suggesting that this was normal, i dont believe this noise is normal. The poster above confirmed he does not get this kind of noise with his.

I also watched this video (from someone you have sponsored) , where he says that the first thing he notices was how
quiet it is! - i have added the timestamp where he demonstrates it:



Mine is anything but quiet, and its much noiser in person.

I have taken a few more videos of the noise below , im hoping you can take a closer look this time and come back to me ASAP - thanks



My Halo makes the same noise, I think some sort of motor is running, maybe a fan or something. Maybe @Jslick89 can record a close up video of when the robot is on?

Hey yall sorry I’ve been out and about and taking care of the baby.

I took a video of my Omni s pro in idle. This was after I ran a drill with several balls.

Thanks! Yeah that's the same noise I hear, so I think that's normal. I think the guy in the video is comparing when the robots are serving balls maybe? At lower speed/spin it may be a bit quieter than the Amicus but at higher speed/spin the noise cranks up quite a bit. I've got my HVAC and heat pump water tank in my garage and they're way louder so I don't really pay much attention to the noise.

Yeah my tankless water heater is way louder too lol. Noise is ok with me so long as it’s sending the balls I want

I am going to get to use the Omni at a friend's place soon. Pretty sure they don't have any custom drills programmed.

Is there any way to program drills on the app before I go to my friend's?
Do you know of any videos or tips to program (in like 15-30 minutes) a few basic drills like the Falkenburg, 2 FH - 2 BH, 1middle- 1 random, etc.?
