I have loved ping pong since I was a teenager. However, I had not lived in a place in 30 years that I could set up a table.I am now in my 40's and we purchased a used ping pong table (a nice Stiga one) for Christmas. My wife and son were very excited about the table, but their interest was not as fervent as mine.
As I struggled to encourage them to play, I remembered seeing robots on Amazon.com when I was considering purchasing a table. I thought the idea was ridiculous initially, but as my opportunities to play began to become fewer and fewer, I decided to purchase the Robopong 2050.
I can say that for the price it is all that I need to enjoy the game I fell in love with many years ago. I have been bitten by the ping pong bug.
If you are in a situation such as me, I encourage you to purchase a robot and take the plunge. Buy the robopong 2050 or even a higher end model (which can cost well over $1000). It is so much fun to hit hundreds of balls without stopping or without begging someone to play a game with you.
Here are some notes about the robot (2050 model) -
The unit is extremely easy to set up and take down. It takes a matter of seconds - SERIOUSLY. You just place the unit on the end of the table, plug it in, and start playing. It took me longer to type this than it does to move the unit on and off the table. It is also pretty light in weight, but is very well made - just a good quality product.
It has 2 modes of "play" - programmed or manual. With programmed, you can either select 1 of 32 pre-programmed routines or hook the interface to your computer and create your own. This functionality is really neat and fun.
With manual you can set the following parameters:
Head angle - this is always manual and will not change during a routine. You set this at your own preference and chosen speed. If you have a low speed and head angle you can simulate a serve for example.
Ball speed - this is set from 1 to 30. At 30, you can hardly see the ball. I am able to block them as a return, but it is truly fast.
Random ball speed - this setting will change the speed of the ball randomly as you play, which means the ball will not only be moving at different speeds, but it will hit at different spots on the table because the head angle is a manual adjustment performed prior to starting a routine
Oscillation - this can be set to cover the entire width of the table. Combined with ball speed, the entire table can be covered.
Random Oscillation - this means that the head will fire balls randomly across the width of the table. It is purely random and when combined with random ball speed it really increases difficulty.
Wait time and random wait time - these can be changed in increments from about 3/10 of a second to over 3. I personally never go over 2 seconds so I don't remember how high it will go. The random wait adds another layer of difficulty when combined with oscillation and speed.
Time for routine - this will set how long you want to run a routine.
Number of balls - this will determine how many balls are thrown. At first I set the robot for about 100 balls at a go, now I am at up to 500. The time and number of balls are related to each other AND the wait time function.
The unit can also create wicked spins but NOT a no spin ball (the equivalent of a knuckle ball in baseball). Unfortunately, the spin is a set before you start a routine function and it doesn't change during play.
This and the lack of head angle adjustment during a routine are the only down sides of the unit for me. I really wish that it could change spin during the routines. Robots that have this functionality cost over $1000 (I don't know of a cheaper one that does this). And if I could have purchased one of them on a payment plan I would.
The net system is great and performs well.
DO NOT get a robot without a net return system. You will be hating life, because in an average routine of 10 minutes the robot will throw about 500 balls depending on the settings.
I have NEVER had a jam and have been using the robot every day for 1 month and I would say an average of 3000 throws per day - about an 1 to 1.5 hours/day (not an exaggeration - that is how cool this thing is).
I have the unit loaded with about 100 to 120 balls - that is about all it will hold. On a tough 10 minute routine (about 500 throws) if I am really going for it by attempting tough shots, I will hit about 100 balls outside the net area. However, I could easily keep all the balls in the play/retrieval area if I tried.
That is the thing with a robot. When I use it, I get this gut wrenching, leg wobbling workout. But when my wife does (no offense honey) she just stands there and dinks it back without getting much out of it.
It is a robot, it helps you train, but even with all the randomization features, it is nothing like playing with a real person.
Also, when I have played on the robot a lot and then try to play with a person of low ability, it is almost impossible. What happens is that you really push yourself to higher speeds and difficulties with the robot and it seems like you are playing in ultra jello slow motion with the human player. The first time I played my wife after about a week on the robot, I missed about 15 shots in a row. It was hilarious.
Don't be fooled that you could just hang out at home and use the robot to prepare for a match. No robot is capable of producing the infinite randomness that a human being can.
As God said in His Word - We are wonderfully and fearfully made.
Now go get a robot!!!
