Training alone with a return board
Training
donato solda Asked 10 years ago
Hi Alois, ho Jeff,
Summer is arriving and the activity in my club has been stopped.
I have a table in my garage and since is hard to find a partner in this period, I thought to train with a return board.
What do you think about it, could be useful or would be better to buy a robot? (just to remember I am a beginner).
Thanks a lot and regards
Donato

Hi Donato,
I think return boards are very difficult to practice with or get any rhythm. A simple robot would do the same job much better.

Work on you variation of spin and speed. Against blockers it's really important you don't always play the same pace. They are relying on your speed.

Hello Donato,
Returnboards can be expensive even when making your own. I looked into making a couple of Returnboards for myself and found that the materials would end up costing as much as a cheap robot. So I went and bought a Joola IPONG Original for about $60us and it has been a lot of fun. Look around for one, but I think you might find your best price at Megaspin.com
Good luck, hope that this helps.
