Post your latest EJ purchase

[DukeGaGa]

cool, is this robot supposedly better than Newgy or BTY or Killerspin or whatever?

From all the reviews I've seen, and the problems I have with the robots I have, I'd say yes.

It's been almost a month since I haven't ordered anything. .... and slowly begin to worry about my mental status.

Ohh, I know the feeling so well . As my doctor said that she has no pills against it and that it is incurable I took her advise and bought a Loki E9. I feel much better now. 😂
I really just did it for "the fix".
I have no use for such a blade but boy does it look horny with all that black paint over it.
It is also the only way to try out those weirdo RXTON5 - rubbers with the different sponge.
Black rubber with black sponge - Red rubber with blue sponge.
Somebody please pass me the bib, i started dribbling again.

Thanks buddy, in situations like these one needs a true friend 😁

Look forward to your test. I'm also curious how the pre-assembled Rxton5 compares with the pretty good regular Rxton 5

The plan is to rip the rubbers off and glue them onto one of my trusted blades.
They say that the sponge is ""Imported" so they might be of the "tensor-variety".
As for the blade, I think I just nail it up on a wall for the look 🤣

Just pulled the trigger on the Omni-Pro robot from Aliexpress.

Let me know how it works! I already know its software is pretty advanced, but I'd like to know more about its hardware like pace, speed, spin, and consistency as well. Which one did you get? The tabletop one or the standing one?

On paper at least it's a very good robot. The software seems more advanced than any other out there. It has more spin levels than the BTY one, from +10 to -10, while the my Amicus Prime only goes from -5 to +7. This is useful because at +6 spin and slower speed (say 12-15, goes up to 25) it simulates a heavy brush loop very well, if you try to simulate a moderate pace heavy loop at say speed 25 (robots can't generate fast balls) then +6 spin is too much while +5 spin is too little. I would've liked a spin level in between them.

The max spin is stated to be about 100 rps. In Fang Bo's channel he and his pro buddies generate 120+ (machine only detects up to 120) with their loop drives, so spin wise it may not be quite enough to simulate a heavy brush loop. The Amicus Prime at +7 spin is just ludicrous, at +6 it's already superhuman if the speed is turned up high.

The max speed is about 100 m/s, or 54 kph. In Fang Bo's channel their loop drive vs. backspin top out at ~80 kph, with >120 rps of spin. Since the wheels of a robot generate both speed and spin, my guess is that the top speed when simulating topspins is considerably lower than the max. This would probably make it similar to other robots. Wheels use friction alone to generate speed, it just can't compare with hitting with a racket.

The max pace is 90 balls/min which is all you really need. 90/min is really pushing the limit already. This is what 100 balls/min looks like. The Amicus Prime can go up to 120/min, and that's just overkill:

You can also buy an accompanying eagle eye system called Seeker to measure your speed/spin generation as well as providing other play related data e.g. location of your shots and your success rate. I think it's super cool, I'd seriously consider getting that if I had the Omni robot. It's only $1000 + shipping, so for the price of the Amicus Prime you can get both the Omni robot and the eagle eye system.

that is all well and good but the tennirobo comes with a warning re speed and the real test is when the ball leaves a permanent tent in the table surface. 😁

For sure, I got the black tabletop one.

Do they have some official North American distribution? or is Aliexpress the only place you can get it now?

Aliexpress might be the easiest way to get it in NA, or anywhere outside of China. Or you can find a third party courier yourself that can ship it here, the price is about the same so I chose aliexpress.

Whelp, AliExpress showed the package arrived at the sorting center yesterday, then it is on its way back to the seller today 🤣 not a good start. Contacted the seller and they said they’ll contact the courier company to see what went wrong.

uh oh. I hope it works out. I've had booster get sent back to the seller before (resulting in full refund to me), but I'm never sure what went wrong.

Maybe the seller didn't write a legitimate address correctly.

Yeah, hopefully they can get it resolved.

My recent ej purchase? Big dipper and sanwei gear hyper. Did I need them? No of course not.

 

[FrenchFrog33]

Tibhar FX-D rubbers on a Tibhar Fortino Performance blade is my latest EJ purchase.

 

[TensorBackhand]

Yeah, hopefully they can get it resolved.

Did you end up getting the robot resolved?

so how did you find these 2 rubbers? BD is one of my favorite rubbers, especially boosted on backhand

It happened to me few times. always got refund from sellers
