WOW! Does everything could imagine to restore & increase game to levels can't imagine. Irregular service is the most challenging for lead feet such as mind. If not mistaken, my Plantar Facia has gotten better that walking couldn't do. Ahh to be young again!

I am really impressed with all the things the robot can do.. spin, speed, serve and more. In a few sessions I have improved my hitting already, and have no doubt I will just keep getting better.

Two things that could be improved: even the slowest ball feed rate is too fast to practice certain shots; and slowest ball speed setting could be slower.

I can't speak for the longevity of the machine.

For $200, this is a great machine. I actually advice not to clamp the machine to the table but rather just set it on top. That way you can aim it to shoot to a specific area of the table. It allows you to adjust speed and how much, if any, topspin/backspin you want. It's 100+ ball capacity allows me to get multiple reps in before having to collect the balls. I highly advise to buy a $50 net that clamps to the table. That way you only have to collect a couple balls that you miss. It also lets you adjust for side spin. It's lowest settings are still pretty fast so I would recommend for more experienced beginners to intermediate players. Let's you practice forehand and backhand loops without needing a second player. Also let's you practice against backspin serves and such. The ocillation is ok but not the same as actually playing a real person. This is just a training tool. I would advise you get some professional advice on how to hit the ball properly before trying this machine out. You want to make sure you are practicing the right hits.

I am somewhat of a recreational ping pong fanatic. I love playing and finding out what I'm capable of and learning new tricks when it comes to playing. I'm nowhere near professional but I think I can hold my own when it comes down to some good friendly recreational competition. This machine feeds my addiction especially since I don't get to play very often and only a select few of my friends can play at the level, or above, of how I like to play. With this machine, I can change the different options and it says it all in the product description. I just hope that it doesn't break down anytime soon because it's quite expensive, but if it does last a long time, then the price is definitely worth it!

Works fine
