I am looking to buy a cheap robot that is simple and can serve multiple topspin. Can anyone recommend a decent one (within $100)? Thanks. ------------- /forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=65174&title=feedback-for-kindof99" rel="nofollow - My Feedback | /forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=77924" rel="nofollow - Sale |

Hi kindof99 Under 100$ you can make couple of return boards, or mb can buy used robot from someone. I found really good robot with replenishing cycle of balls costs minimum 400$ It is cheapest one. IMHO: All others - are not so good because replenishing cycle is crucial.

Thanks. I don’t need replenishing right now. I am looking at those about $100 Ipong robots, and might just go with one of them. ------------- /forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=65174&title=feedback-for-kindof99" rel="nofollow - My Feedback | /forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=77924" rel="nofollow - Sale |

IMHO that Ipong robot - almost waste of money. But when not enough money - it's better than nothing. It's better than RB in case when you want to train service return, but all other stuff is worse. So I personally having 100$ would choose 200-300 balls and a return board with cheap chinese rubber or 2 boards (1 with rubber) with 100 balls.

Ipong is useless unless you have someone to feed it balls. 30 topsin balls in a row is too few. It can create realistic backspin balls for you to learn looping or flicks, but it shoots them too frequently to make it realistic/useful. ------------- Right hand: Stiga Allround NCT (74g) /Rasant Grip max/Talon OX red (total 135g) Left hand, 2020-1: Stiga Allround WRB (67g)/Fastarc G-1 1.8mm/V11 > Extra max 158g Fitness Friendship Fun |

| IMHO it worth paying 400$ and wait for 1 month for really good robot for players to improve at least till 2200 USATT than to waste 100$ dollars and move it to trash like in 3 weeks. |

I’m personally very happy with both my return board and cheap Ipong robot. If going the return board route, I’d just get the Wally Rebounder ($229 w/shipping): https://wallyrebounder.com/products/wally-rebounder-advanced-rebounding-system?variant=50026536199" rel="nofollow - https://wallyrebounder.com/products/wally-rebounder-advanced-rebounding-system?variant=50026536199 There’s smaller, lower quality boards from China you can find on AliExpress, but after shipping costs etc I don’t know if it’s really worth the savings...plus you’d be supporting a U.S. company, much shorter shipping time, and they’re super responsive and helpful if u have questions. In terms of the robot, I use ~120 balls per time, and I could easily put more; just make a little higher wall around the ball bin at the top using cardboard, or a bucket with its bottom cut out, etc. Just be sure to keep the area clean so the balls don’t get dirty and jam the robot. (Mine’s indoors so I almost never have that issue, and it’s 5 yrs old.) If you opt for the robot and use it often, you may want to invest in a “My ping pong buddy” ball picker eventually to save ur back—that’s been on my wish list for awhile :)

Hi, nittakuball. Do not recommend to buy ready made RB. Recommend to buy the sheet of plywood and cut it into 2 pieces. That's it 2 RBs are ready, but they are reversed. If you want - you can order 8 couples of cheap Chinese rubber for 56$ all and glue from one side of both.

If you have free money, why not. Self made RB costs 5 times less

I made mine with two left over wardrobe shells. Then I bought a bundle of 10 Friendship for 25$ and another 10€ for the wood for the legs. More or less that was it.(I don't count the glue) ------------- Hallmark Carbon Extreme (x3) FH: D05/G1/RX BH: Z2/D64/Ω7Pro |

I was lucky to get a Newgy 1040, catch net, some ball picker upper thingys and a case 30-40 balls for $200 bucks here in NYC. Keep looking around on FB marketplace, Craigslist, Offerup.com etc and I am sure you'll be able to find something. ------------- My bat: An old PF4-032 Cpen DHS 651 2.2mm |
