Returnboard or robot for under $100/ $100 for intermediate players?

Bman 489 Unknown Asked 16 years ago

What is something you would recommend that is under $100 I can hit off of/ with? Would you recommend a robot or a returnboard for intermediate table tennis players If a robot: Which one for cheapest price for intermediate players? If a returnbard: Which one for cheapest price for intermediate players? Can you practice underspin, topspin, and sidespin with returnboard? How is a returnboard better than putting the table next to the wall and hitting the ball at the wall? Thanks again,your best friend Bman489

I don't know much about different robots at this stage. They are not all that cheap and certainly not $100.

I have never used a return board. I will open this up to others to discuss.

A returnboard isn't nesessarry for topspin pratice. Instead you develop bad habits. I woulden't recommend a returnboard really. It's just an overpriced wood board. But you can buy it if you want to. A robot is worth the money.
