Training
Our homeowners association just purchased a Newgy 2050 ping pong robot. Do you think that working out with this unit could be helpful in gaining improvement in my level of play?

Hi Joel,
Take a look at our blog about robots Table Tennis Robots to get our thoughts on this.
Basically it is worth practicing with it if you don't have good training options.
Most drills involve one person performing the exercise and the other placing the ball as required by the exercise. We call this person placing the ball the controller. When you are acting as the controller it is a great opportunity to practice your blocking and concentration. As blocking is an important part of the game you should be 100% focused at this time. You also owe it to your training partner to be blocking effectively so they get the most from their exercise.
