Damned, it looks so complicated !!!! I prefer the newgy 2050.
There is also a 2055 now. easier to use and with good exercices already available.

If 3050 really works as it's design to be, it is totally at a different level of 2050. But now with the bugs to be fixed, I suggest you wait a little longer.

I don't think it says that.  I think it says to only use recommended balls...which I would assume are just 40+ balls.  

I will be in the market for a machine soon and this thread has been very useful.  Thanks to all who contributed so far!

I can confirm. The user manual says 40+ balls, which is basically what they recommend.

I've seen a video on the Newgy website where the head rotates.

Regarding the precision that someone mentioned, I think the variation in balls has a lot to do with this, as no robot can be accurate with variations in ball size and shape. Balls used are only training balls, 3* balls may show some improvement.

Of course the head rotates. But that's for side spins.

If that's the case that's impressive, because it takes considerable power (current) to change the speed from high to low in a short time period, and that's what's required if you want to change from topspin to backspin. Perhaps the timing will be noticable if you change from maximum backspin to maximum topspin.

The only thing that I don't like about the design of these bots is that the head can't slide the width of the table or come off the end of the table. It can't really simulate human training which involves multiball from the sides and simulate blocking from different positions. I suppose if say you wanted to practice down the line you could move the Newgy to the corner but you have to drag the net along. The 1050 is much better suited to swap positions. If only the 1050 had multiple motors and the rotation head....

I just got the Newgy 3050XL last week. The setup was easy and I was up and going soon. However, faced some issues. Would be great if other owners can comment.

1. Just right out of the box, when I turn it on, it produces a high frequency noise. Is this normal?
2. On the third day, when I tried to connect it through the app, it got stuck in the "Calibrating..." screen. It was clear that the phone bluetooth was able to connect to the device. But it was not proceeding any further. After trying for half an hour it finally worked.
3. On the third day, it is able to connect, but the ball doesn't shoot out. It falls down with very low force as if the motor that is supposed to push it is not working at all.

Has anyone faced this issue? Did I get a bad unit?

I think it is best that you ask the manufacturer - they should remedy this for you.

Do you know about TenniRobo http://youtu.be/vscnrkkSr94 ? It has a lot of functions and can be placed anywhere around the table, so it makes very realistic balls

Lol, that’s what I do. Use a spread sheet on my iPad and just go to that memory location.

By far the dumbest thing I’ve done with my new amicus is not throw enough balls in the catcher. I always used the one at the club and if you throw a couple of balls in the net a couple of balls come back out. Never thought about there being a stack on balls in the neck already. So I set up my new machine and threw 6 balls in to calibrate and no balls came out. I check the cables, the balls seemed to feed and couldn’t understand why they weren’t coming out. Thought it fed the balls all the way up. Wasn’t until I took the head off and ran it that I realized it was just pushing them from the bottom.

And to everyone, it does put a little side spin on wide balls. At first I use to add opposite spin on wide balls to counter it. But real life play, most wide shots do have side spin so now I just leave it.

I have the robopong 2050 and was thinking to upgrade to the amicus prime. I just discovered the existance of the new robopong but these reviews were not really what i was hoping to read:

https://www.megaspin.net/store/default.asp?pid=newgy-robopong-3050xl

only thing that is keeping me from buying the amicus is actually that it is probably impossible to see the direction where the next ball will be shot because the head is not moving. in real game situation, you would also start moving towards the corrzct locstion when you see the movement of your opponent. can amicus users give me some feedback on that?

I have an amicus advantage that I bought after selling my 2050.  In my opinion  the 2050 is a much better robot.  I think the thing I dislike most about the amicus is that it's not designed to give serves.  There is not much I like about the amicus.  There isn't an on/off switch.  It has to be unplugged from the power supply.  The instruction book is very weak.  There are 3 head heights that can be used, but no information on what height is best for any shots.  Everything is trial by error.  If you set up certain shots you want to work on, you won't always get that shot.  The instruction book says they don't give you the same shot because you don't get the same shots in a match.  Sometimes the shot I get is more that a foot from what I programmed. 

I don't know about the other amicus robots, but the advantage is a bad robot.
