Reviews of IPONG Robot (2)Submit a short review about IPONG Robot.
The iPong is the best $129 I've ever spent.
I read a review which was not exactly a rave, but bought it anyway. The review complained that it doesn't finish all the balls in the bin, it gets jammed, it's noisy and it overshoots the table on the heavy top spin setting. Well, it doesn't finish _three_ balls out of 110 in the bin, it has never jammed for me and the noise is not bad at all. (About as loud as a household fan.) It does overshoot on the heavy topspin setting if you are going down the middle, so aim it corner to corner, or slide your cell phone under it to aim it down a bit. That's the bad stuff. I wouldn't ask iPong to fix any of that if it meant it goes a penny over $129. The good stuff is, number one, if I forgot to mention, it's $129! Next, it holds a ton of balls, it shoots predictably so you can practice your strokes, it has three spins and a wide selection of ball frequencies. It took me two minutes to take it out of the box and start playing with it, and when I was done I picked it up and moved it. No screws, no neoprene rubber, no disassembly. Beyond that, it simply looks cool. Really cool. It has a bad-ass, sleek design in all black, a killer metallic silver logo, and no exposed moving parts. Even the _box_ it comes in is beautifully designed. Frankly, I think it raises my coolness factor as a table tennis enthusiast to use it. Bottom line, thanks to iPong, I can practice every day, and next time I play Tom, I'm going to destroy him.
Used this extensively over the weekend at my club. Moderate topspin on "heavy" topspin setting. On underspin setting very little if any underspin. Useless for underspin practice.
Speed of the ball is moderate and unchangeable, though the time between each ball can be turned up to an extremely fast level. The robot is easy to load, though it never uses up all the balls in the hopper. When reloading or moving it around the table (the best thing about it), if a ball falls down into the chute it causes a jam about 1 out of 5 times that was difficult to clear. The balls are delivered quite long and the only way to adjust this is to put something under the back edge to tilt it a bit forward. It seems to be set up for cross-court shots. Setting it up to go square to the table (such as a down the line shot) will result in about 1 out of 4 shots going long off the table. The machine is also quite noisy and since it is plastic, returned balls hitting it (which happens often) make a loud and annoying ping. If I owned one myself I'd wrap the thing in sponge or bubble wrap. Overall, not bad for practicing off the bounce blocks against topspin or slow loops off the table. For the price, that may be good enough, but don't expect much more. Ordering Information
