Table tennis Robot - Joola Shorty

[ToH]

We are entering the summer and less and less people want to meet inside for training. I thinking about buying a robot, so i can practise when i want to.
Do anybode have experience with the Joola Shorty?

JOOLA ROBOT Shorty

The multifunctional table robot SHORTY is very easy to operate. Variable speed, 8 different rotation modes, different trajectories and oscillation…

Its a little temptating instead of spending 1800 euro more for a butterfly Prime.

If you want a good cheaper robot, i would look into the newgy 2055. has the return net which makes a big difference with robot training. the only problem with it, which is the same problem with the Joola Short is that you can only do one type of spin at a time....it can do all the types of spin (except dead) but you have to manually rotate the head to get that new spin. not very helpful for practicing game situations (IE, flick a short backspin serve, step back and then loop an incoming top sin).

Thank you for your reply. I will look into it.

Thank you for your reply. I will look into it.

I've had mine for over 2 years and it works great! lots of pre programmed drills so i get in a lot of good practice. Just wish i had a robot that alternated spins within the same drill.

I wouldn't recommend buying a Joola robot, just look for another brand.
I was one of the unlucky ones who bought a Joola Infinity: I was continually having problems with it and Joola abandoned the project by admitting it was a failed one. Of course, we were never reimbursed!!!!

I guess i get what i pay for. Thanks for your reply. I will google a little bit, but probably the Powerpong or Butterfly is the best option.
