Hi fellow ping pong players,

First off I’m a beginner player with enough skills to hit and return the ball to the other opponent. After finally purchasing the PONGBOT and a few hours practicing against this machine I’m seeing better results in foot work as well as my ability to practice against different spins.

The machine itself is easily moved to wherever needed and I found this to help with how the ball is received in real play. There is of course real play variables that the robot can’t mimic but at least it can help improve my play.

I found that I can try different strokes and the robot doesn’t have any human frustrations when I miss so that’s a big plus since our club is only open twice a week to play or practice.

I again have noticed an improvement in my game as I studiedly do more hours of training so definitely a great machine to practice in between club days.

I do wish I could load up more balls into the bin so it would be great if the company sold an extension in the future. Otherwise I’m very happy the PONGBOT.

Which PONGBOT did u buy?

I bought the nova S pro which arrived yesterday, I set up and had a very quick go but I trained at my club after so not used it so much yet. Plus I’m waiting for 100 balls and net to arrive so I’m not picking up balls every minute lol…

I have actually spent some time setting up customs drills while offline so tomo will test some of them out and tweak if necessary.

I brought the nova s pro as well and had a collection catch net to attach to the back of the table already.

I purchased the nova s pro as well. I had a catch net already from a previous table I had so I don’t have to retrieve balls all over the garage. No incidents with the machine except one that involved my iPhone text sizing has to be smaller than I would want it to be. The start button would be blocked by the lower bar on the phone if I had the text size too large. I’ve been hitting with the preprogrammed drills and find that it’s been great in improving my reflexes and strokes so far. No jam ups so far but will update after a few weeks of play.
