      Thanks for the video. Tom, I'm in the process of buying this robot ( butterfly amicus prime). Why do you choose this one ? Same factory ( Hungary), same Hardware, same firmware ( from HU manufacturer) the only difference is the Apps: powerpong ( US app/investor) and Butterfly Europe ( German App). Many thanks in advance for any info.

    Great video Tom, I love mine, I have the butterfly alternative, but it helped me a lot to counter backspin, sure my footwork (collecting all the balls) got trained as well, but even if you miss 10 balls, you're not annoying your trainings buddy who needs to collect the ball every time.

    Thanks for the video, I'm a coach in a small club, we have a robot since the pandemic, it doesn't just collect the balls, you have to collect them and put them back in the receptacle, but we have a net and all that. The problem is that you don't see a paddle on the other side, you don't see the intention of the other player who is not there... and since that is artificial, we have stayed away from the robot. But it is true that it should serve in some technical aspects... although since the ball always comes the same, it does not prepare you as much for real situations.

    • @TomLodziak
      @TomLodziak  2 роки тому +7

      Agreed. A robot won't help you read an opponent's strokes and body movements. So it's very important to spend more time playing with real opponents. But a robot can be very useful to improve technique, footwork, rallying skills and other things mentioned in the video.

    I definitely need to work on my consistency and rallying skills. I am also fed up with partners that do not want to play drills but simply just want to play a game. How on earth shall one improve a certain skill when you‘re only focusing on winning. Before quitting TT (again) I am looking forward to play my drills alone and join the others for a game of fun when I am done. That’s one big benefit from a robot.

    Great video Tom. The other aspect of a robot is that it comes with a purpose built collecting net, so although not technically the robot, it allows lots of serving practice, without having to pick the balls up from off the floor.

    Who would be against a robot just as good as someone just feeding you balls out of a basket. Baseball has pitching machines so you can become instinctive on technique and timing. The same for table tennis. I'm a newbie so I bought a robot and a 6x3 table just to practice alone on my strokes. The table hasn't arrive so I practiced sitting on the floor receiving bounces while I worked on back hands and forehand pushes. I bought a Joola 120 ball holder that can fluctuates the timing of balls out and top and back spin settings. Maybe an automatic positioning model will be next. Nice video to reinforce the positivity of robot trainer.

    • @TomLodziak
      @TomLodziak  2 роки тому +1

      I've not actually used a return board, so I can't compare from direct experience. However, I imagine there's not that much you can do with a return board apart from very basic drilling.

      The PowerPong Omega and the Butterfly Amicus Prime use the same hardware. It's just the software which is different. To be honest, there really isn't much difference between the two. Both are very good.

    I am a bit disappointed by this kind of 3wheels robot, I own an Amicus, because their backspin throws loose much speed (translated in less depth and height) compared to their topspin,
    backspin and topspin balls supposed to land at the same spot need different settings/placements on the tablet,
    this lack of speed on backspin must be compensated programming more height and depth in the app,
    not very logic, the software should do the compensation, not the user...
    for the price, this is very disappointing...

    • @TomLodziak
      @TomLodziak  Рік тому

      I've not had the same experience as you. From what I understand the Butterfly Amicus and Power Pong Omega are made in the same factory, so should be similar. I have found it really easy to set up drills with the Power Pong and for the robot to send balls with the spin, speed and placement that I need.
