iPong Table Tennis Training Robot - Serves 40mm Regulation Ping Pong Balls Automatically - Play Solo w/o Playback Mode on Your Ping Pong Table - Various Models Available

The first few dates with someone can be clunky and that's how iPong and I started out. She was mean to me right out of the gate - she spit that first ball at me like I made her pay for dinner. All kidding aside, read the instructions on this. I messed up initially because I j just poured all of the balls into the funnel without starting it up FIRSt. Nothing came out, it jammed. I then read some reviews online and found out that you are supposed to start it up first, get the wheel running, then add the balls, THEN press play once you're in position. Once I did that, it was fine. But, as I said above, the first ball usually comes out like straight fire and doesn't even hit the table but after that, it's fine. It also doesn't spit every ball out, every time but I can live with that. One thing that is annoying but obviously no fault of the product, is hitting the machine with your shots. The balls then ricochet all over the garage so make sure that you are placing your shots on either side of the iPong. I also bought a net to put on the table but the first couple of rounds, due to poor placement of my shots, more balls went off the table than on because I keep hitting the machine. So far the remote works fine. Down the road as I get better and can afford it, I will probably buy a nicer one. But for my skill level - intermediate - this one works fine for the price. I recommend it but make sure you are prepared for her fastball right away.

Purchased like new for $22. Works ok most of the time. Sometimes shoots out 2 balls at once. For the reduced price it’s decent. Full price don’t know if it would be worth it.

I have been using this extensively for a days. It allows me to practice my shots repetitively and fine-tune my technique, in a way that would not be possible without a robot. I have not experienced any jams as some others have... maybe it has to do with the type of ball. Overall I am happy with it, as my first robot.Improvements required:* If the rotating feeder is right above the feeding hole, balls will shoot out randomly even if the machine is paused. This can be surprising/annoying when you reload the machine and it starts shooting balls at a fast rate all over the place.* The remote, as others have stated, is weak. You have to point it directly and be very close. Even at the end of the table is not close enough, I have to lean forward and extend my arm for it to work.* The lowest frequency setting is pretty fast. Sometimes, I want something slower, but can't.* The shape of the base is unfortunate. Because it's conical, any ball that hits it will bounce UP and away, escaping the net.

I bought this so that I could practice by myself and I didn't want to spend hundreds on a higher-quality machine. I have only used it a handful of times though for the following reasons:1. It is loud - when the ball fires, the "pop" from the machine get annoying pretty fast2. It wastes balls - it fires at random lengths from what I can see and balls will just go straight into the net (you have to constantly reposition the machine to find a spot that works3. No remote - as soon as you turn the power button on, the machine starts firing balls so you have to RUN to the other side and start hitting - you have no time to even ready yourselfProbably going to save up and get the higher quality machine as this one was not worth it...

I initially purchased iPong V300 to have fun with my family. I used to be an intermediate table tennis player so naturally, I did not have the expectation that I would be using this for myself. Well, it turned out that in the end, I could also use this "toy" to recollect the old days of hard training.Pros:1. You can adjust the degree of both topspin and downspin. The lowest settings should be acceptable to family members who know no more than swinging the paddle. The highest settings, on the other hand, produce very spinny balls. If you hold the paddle still on the table, you can see the degree of spin by the trajectory of the reflected ball. Interestingly, the robot allows you to set both top- and downspin simultaneously, which yields the kind of spin that you don't see in real games, nonetheless it's fun to play with.2. You can adjust the frequency of balls spit out by the machine. The lowest settings, again, are very acceptable to amateur family members, while the highest settings give you a very intense workout.*3. There is a remote to control the settings. You can also pause the machine temporarily for a break.4. It is very easy to remove the machine from the table -- when I would like to play with my family, I simply take it off the table. It is much more convenient than a professional robot for which it's always a pain if you want to get it out of the way quickly so you could play a game with your kid.Neutral:1. Unlike a professional robot, you have to move the machine around the table once in a while, if you change your settings. I actually am not annoyed by this, understanding that this is a much cheaper alternative, and I always have fun with my son together to find the best spot for the new setting.2. I feel the trajectories of the balls are somewhat unrealistic, regardless of the settings. This is understandable as this is not a very sophisticated machine.Cons:*1. The remote is rather short-ranged. Often I have to carefully aim it, and/or press the button a couple of times to get the signal registered. It would be much more satisfying if the range of the remote was at least across the table.2. We rarely use the oscillation function -- you cannot control the range of angles. If your settings make you place the machine on the long side of the table on the other end, chances are that some balls will be shot out of the table from the short side.Overall, I feel this is a great machine that serves its purpose if the buyers understand the features and limitations of the machine.

2月末に購入。使用頻度：週に1度、一時間程度。1月程で上部の回転皿のモータが動いたり、止まったり。5月初旬、2ヶ月程でもう玉が出なくなりました。寿命は2ヶ月です。(ちなみにモーターを替えようとしましたが、メーカー刻印が無い。)モーターを替えていただければ良いのですが、アマゾン様の保証もありませんし、販売店とのコンタクトもとれません。代行している販売店様も修理等していただけない。日本では購入しない方が良いです。

EXCELENTE PRODUCTO PARA PRACTICAR DE MANERA INDIVIDUAL, EFECTOS Y RAPIDEZ DE ROTACION DEL ROBOT CUMPLEN

I have been using the robot for the last couple of days. Assembly was quite easy and the robot works as expected. In my experience, the ball holder holds around 90 balls of 40mm size instead of 100 advertised. To avoid jamming, It's important that the cutout of the agitator is NOT aligned with the entry hole on the main engine while assembling and also when balls are being refilled. If they are already aligned, the agitator can be easily rotated manually to dis-align them. The only reason I am giving a 4 star instead of 5 is, considering the price, I expected the robot to be more solidly built. For example, the agitator and the top and bottom assembly could have been made with more sturdy plastic . Overall, I'm happy with the product so far. I'll update my review if any new issue comes up.Update on March 15, 2019 - The robot is still working fine. But even after repeated reminder, iPong did not send the Practice Targets as promised.

I got tired of waiting for my crowdfunded ping pong robot, so I got this when it was on sale.It worked great for the first week. I was so happy I can just hit some balls whenever I wanted, and practice my form to build consistency. I was happy with the variety of speeds you can put on it. Albeit, the top and bottom spin speed adjustments both affect the overall outbound speed of the ball, so it can become quite tricky to consistently get the right setting. I think most of the time I just found a good setting and kept it there.But my happiness was short lived, I noticed second week that despite nothing changing, more and more balls were not making it over the net. So my solution was to increase the speed. Sure, that worked for a while, then even at max power many balls won't clear the net. So I thought, maybe it got dirty, I mean, motors love to pickup hairs and dirt and get clogged. So I opened it up to clean it, that's when I was shocked at what I saw.Ok, first of all, dirt wasn't the problem. There were a few stray hairs in there, but nothing around the motors. It was actually pretty clean. So that was not the power problem.Second, there were so many things that were screws directly into plastic, instead of nuts and bolts holding things into brackets etc. Screws directly into plastic on a thing with high speed motors is just failure waiting to happen. When it does, because the screws are directly in plastic, there will be no fixing it. There was also a bunch of hot glue holding things in place, which is always a sign of quality engineering (sarcasm!).Needless to say, I closed her up, disappointed that I couldn't fix it, and send it back for refund.
