Robo-Pong 2050

Product Description

Wow! This is one smart robot. Revolutionary digital technology means easy, precise regulation of ball speed, wait time, and landing location. Normal Mode gives you simple manual control over each function while in Drill Mode, you can run any of the 64 drills stored on the controller. Use PC Mode to create and save drills using a simple interface, then run those drills direct from your PC. Setup Mode makes it easy to calibrate motors to a set standard and select your desired language. Intelligent design also allows selection of favored hand so drills run correctly for right-handers and left-handers alike. You can even tell your Robo-Pong 2050 to throw balls for 5 minutes, and it will automatically calculate how many balls will be thrown in that time.



"After training with the Canadian Olympic Team for 3 years, I know what an effective training session consists of. The Robo-Pong 2050 can perform nearly every drill that a top training partner can perform."
- Samson Dubina

4.0 out of 5 stars Very useful training tool, November 24, 2010

This review is from: Robo-Pong 2050 (Misc.)
The 2050 is the latest table tennis trainer from Newgy. The major upgrade from previous models is in the electronics. The side-way motion is now controlled by a micro-processor which is programmable by the user. Specifically, one can easily configures the 2050 to alternate between a far backhand and a far forehand. This used to require a lot of trial and error in the 2040.

The pitch of the ejection head, which controls how high the balls travel, is still adjusted by hand, however, meaning that, after changing the speed from the control pad, it is often necessary to walk to the main body and re-adjust the pitch angle. The speed itself is also not variable within an exercise routine. So, having the 2050 alternate between a long and a short shot remains impossible.

The electronic system is serviceable but unimpressive technologically. The interface with PC is through the obsolete serial port. The wire connecting the control pad with the main body is still the old... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Great except for many ball jams, December 21, 2010

This review is from: Robo-Pong 2050 (Misc.)
I would just add to M.Wang's excellent review (and why I only give it 4 stars) that I've had many jams due to (I think):

1. Ball quality - I partly blame the cheap slipery balls that come with table. And so, I spent $15 on 72 much better balls - GOGO' 3-Star 40mm Table Tennis Balls (Price for 12 Tubes, 72 balls), Ping Pong Balls. Plus, I also blame dusty balls - so, balls need regular cleaning. But, I've had far fewer problems with new three-star balls.

2. Balls repelling each other due to static build up. And so, I setup a humidifier (Newgy recommends a rubber liner for $25 and setting up a grounding strap). Also, the additional balls puts extra pressure on the balls to move. Thus, I've had much less problems with this. Keeping the floor clean, of course, should also reduce static as well as dust build up... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Improve your game, June 1, 2011
This review is from: Robo-Pong 2050 (Misc.)
We bought the Robo Pong 2050 on 3-19-2011 and have been practicing 2 or 3 times a week. My game has definitely improved. I have been playing since I was 9 years old. I am now 46 and enjoying the game more than ever. Our 8 year old twins practice with it. I also use the machine to teach other kids and their parents how to play and improve their game. The only thing that went wrong was the top bracket cracked today that secures the top of the machine to the table. I e-mailed Newgy about it today and waiting on their response to repair it. This machine is worth the 700.00 we paid for it. Highly recommended. You can play whenever you want for as long as you want. Set the timer to 2 seconds, then 1.5 seconds, then 1.0 second. Your reflexes will improve and your game will improve.
