What’s a good ball machine to play alone?

Hi Lieng,
There is a wide variety of robots and usually their price tends to go hand in hand with the functionality.
It depends on what you want to spend. The basic ones will feed the ball out to you in one position and with one type of spin. The more advanced ones will be able to change spin, speed and direction with each ball and remember a sequence of types of balls to feed out.
Take a look at our Blog on Table Tennis Robots. It doesn't have suggestions about specific types but I think it covers some areas of learning.
