training robots

Mike Ivanov Asked 15 years ago

Hi Alois,

recently I saw a couple of things that are supposed to improve your game level such as a table tennis robot that can give you any shot you want. When I saw the price I started thinking if it's really worth it or not, what do you think? Thanks in advance!

Hi Mike,

Robots are useful if you don' t have another way of practicing.

The robots now are much improved on the previous versions.  They can be programmed to give you a series of balls in a pattern.

It is a price issue.  If you feel like you can afford it and you don't have any other way of practice then it is OK.  If you can find a practice partner or a coach, I would go without the robot.
