I have one 1.5 hour training session with a 1 on 1 coach, along with playing casually with some friends who are similar to my level or slightly above ONCE a week, so i play 2x a week on average.

On top of that, I was thinking whether I should get a robot (something like the Newgy robo-pong 2040/2050), but i'm sitting on the fence whether i should get one?

Do they help with getting better? For example, better technique? more consistent shots? training footwork? 

Is it beneficial to get one? Would I actually become better if I used one on a regular basis versus if I never touched one before?

Also, Are the robots only good until a certain level (for ex: until amateur/intermediate level), then it becomes obsolete if i want to get better?
