Reviews of IPONG Trainer Motion w/80 balls and Pickup Net (58)
The oscillating function is cool too if you like the balls placed randomly about on the table.
If you are looking for a serious training tool though, I would consider investing in a robot that can feed sequences of balls with varying spin.
What I found out as I was talking to the support person at Ipong is that the frequency was set 0 and that was the cause.
When I changed the frequency to other than 0, everything worked like a charm.This is not mentioned in the instruction.
I communicated more than 32 emails to solve the matter and have been waiting for the final answer. Except for this kind of issue, the product is just acceptable.
Pros: portable, remote, easy to setup
Cons: machine works as-is & acceptable in this budget (not superior, but it’s okay)
Recommendation: Plz consider a better machine if looking for a more affordable one (It’s an investment for your fun and exercise.)
I ordered the whole package and it came with 80 training balls, Catching net, picking net and stand. Megaspin had good offer and it gave me 40 extra Joola 3 star balls.
Setup was easy and straight forward. It was up and setup in 5 mins. It offers customized setting as Frequency, Oscillation, Top spin and backspin. It takes a while to do setting adjustment to get desired result. Its worth and part of learning process.
Youth members in our club are spending more time playing TT all thanks to this cute little effective robot.
I'm very, very pleased with this purchase. I just hope it lasts a long time!
I was very disappointed because I have been looking forward to using it to improve my play.
Megaspin reply: We resolved the issue for the customer.
This is my first robot and I’m a 1400s player.
Products in This Bundle:
1. Robot: I love it! After 6 weeks of use, I’ve had no problems, and my skills are significantly improving. It can consistently mimic the most common topspin and backspin shots at different speeds, heights, and to anywhere on the table. Unlike the corded remote of less-expensive robots, the cordless remote makes it easy to change settings from wherever you are in relation to the table & robot. And the Trainer Motion’s oscillation feature allows practice with the same kind of shot to different (random) parts of the table without having to stop to walk over and reset the ball direction. The only “negative” worth mentioning is that it takes some time to learn how to make it do all the things you might want it to. This is mainly because the short printed instructions only scratch the surface of its capabilities. (A video that expanded on the provided instructions would be great.) To get command of its variations, it took me 3 weeks of experimenting with the spin controls, the locations of the robot on the table, and the use of the tilt stand, but it was well worth it. Based on my experience, on its features, and on reviews, I don’t believe any other robot close to the Trainer Motion’s price can touch it.
2. Catch Net: It works great with the robot and for practicing serves. (I can’t imagine using the robot without one.) Because I need to assemble/disassemble it daily, I wish this took a little less time. The two bearing lock junctures can be tricky.
3. Pickup Net: After I learned the simple forward-sliding pickup technique, it worked great for individual balls and ball clusters. One caveat: Rough surfaces (like the concrete of my garage floor) can cause the net to rip. But on any typical indoor floor, I wouldn’t think this would be an issue.
Overall:
I’m extremely please with this bundle’s cost-to-performance ratio, and would definitely recommend it to others.
Was a bit of a hassle getting the new one but works well now for my needs.
Thanks again for your help megaspin !
Megaspin edit: A free replacement was shipped to the customer.
Customer update: I received the new robot from ipong. Everything works great. 5-star for megaspin. I really appreciated the help from megaspin custom service team.
Megaspin update: We apologize for the issue. We spoke to IPONG about your unit and I will make sure to replace it for you ASAP.
Customer update: My issue has been resolved. Customer Service Team followed-up with me and fixed the issue immediately. I am pleased with Megaspin's support and customer service, they have been very helpful. THANK YOU
Megaspin update: We reached out to the customer to offer a replacement.
Megaspin update: We apologize for your experience with IPONG tech support. Your order has been refunded.
Megaspin edit: We apologize for the issues you had with the product. You have been refunded in full.
It is not as strong as I expected but it is still good
Megaspin edit: Customer contacted us and the issue has been resolved.
Megaspin edit: We are working with IPONG to resolve this with a fix/refund/replacement.
Customer edit: After I fiddled with the product for a couple hours and dialed in the settings and reinstalled everything I got the product to work and mega spin and ipong support was great ! Only bad thing is that it doesn't offer side spin and the frequency even on 1 -8 is still a bit to fast
Pros:
- Easy setup
- Convenience of remote
- Apparently all combination of balls you can expect
Cons:
- You'll need to be prepared to deal with ball jam (though not very frequent)
Overall, for beginner to intermediate it's a great choice considering the price factor. I wish next model comes with more features like fixed point ball throwing, more spin and frequency etc. I do recommend this all folks planning to buy.
I would not recommend this machine for anyone. I received 2... one lasted for a day the other lasted for less than a week. It was a long and tedious process dealing with Ipong to return and eventually get a refund. The highlight of the whole experience was the Megaspin staff, who stepped in an forced Ipong to reply to my emails and make things right. I'll be using Megaspin for all my future purchases as they've earned my business and I would recommend them to anyone. However, this Ipong robot is easily the biggest waste of money I've ever seen, Ipong should be ashamed to even sell these.
Megaspin edit: Customer received replacement robot
Customer edit: Mega spin did a great job reconciling my issues
I bought the ipong trainer motion. It worked for a couple months but eventually the top spin motor stopped working. When I tried to turn it up it would barely spin and the other 3 motors would slow down. This robot is basically a toy designed for recreational use. There are small easily breakable plastic parts and motors that apparently aren't very reliable. It was fun while it lasted.
The return:
Contacted Megaspin, they responded quickly and directed me to ipong. I sent the required information including a 60 second video. Ipong responded asking me to resend the info and send another video. I forwarded that request to Megaspin. Megaspin stepped in and within a few hours I received a reply from ipong that a new robot was being shipped. I received the new robot on the scheduled delivery date. It is working well at this point.
I'd give ipong about a 3 star rating for their service and the robot a 2. My 5 star rating is specifically for the service I received from Megaspin. Their customer service was excellent.
Recd on 10/24/19.
1. Required to register within 10 days of “purchase date”. However, no option on ipong.net website to register this particular Trainer motion robot which probably means that warranty will be denied because there was no registration! Regardless, 10 days is a ridiculously short time to register when shipping takes a week. This strategy seems to be simply in place to deceive the customer.
2. Did not receive the catch net with order although order info on website says full order delivered.
3. The remote that came with the robot did not work with the battery that came with it CR2025. Put in my own CR 2032 to make it work.
4. The Robot delivered itself was defective. The agitator or the knob on which agitator is placed did not rotate at all despite the robot making the usual noises and oscillating.
Contacted customer service at Megaspin.net. Was directed to this website: https://www.sport-squad.com/support to submit my “case”. I did. Have not recd a reply yet while the small window of registration ends in a day and I can’t register on their website despite trying.
All the excitement that my kids and I had for this robot was dead as soon as we received this lemon.
I had expected a more direct and hands on handling by Megaspin of this issue rather than directing me to the manufacturer.
We’ll see…..I’ll be happy to update my rating depending on how these issues are handled but otherwise, extremely disappointed so far!
Megaspin Edit: IPONG had a technical issue with their ticketing system and we are working with them and the customer to resolve the issue.
Megaspin Edit: Megaspin intervened and made sure a free working unit is sent to the customer.
Customer Edit: Megaspin responded to the prior review and was instrumental in mediating a quick delivery of another working model. The robot itself is decent and works as advertised for the most part. The catch net followed soon after and is an essential addition. 4 starts because the registration at ipong website still sucks (can't register my particular robot and the 10 day limit to register is pretty steep - in the end I gave up). Also, it should not have taken an angry review to put megaspin's wheels in motion. I should not have been directed to the manufacturer for a defective delivery and should have been taken care of at the point of sale.
Megaspin edit: Thanks for your feedback - we are updating processes to resolve manufacturer issues more efficiently.

Only complaints are the number of balls it holds per time and the setup on the table. There is no “middle” mark to position it long the center of the table so it can rotate without shooting off the table. Takes several balls to setup it every time you move it on/off the table to practice/play. Not a deal breaker, but annoying.
Delivered on time. Package was good except one of the supplied balls was damaged in the package and balls have a powder coat and make marks in the table and the paddle. I believe it goes away after sometime.
Assembly was very straightforward and worked fine from the start. Just followed the instructions and made sure the holes are not aligned inside before dropping the balls into the holder.
The lower frequency is very reasonable for a beginner level and have to update to higher frequency for an intermediate level.
I'm happy to see this robot helps my younger son getting good practice and help him learning the game faster.
Pros: the price is much cheaper compared to other robots, easy to setup with remote controller, good for learning the game.
Easy installation and setup.
The net and the ball collector are great quality.
Cons: Have to make sure the ball feeder do not align to the hole of main body before dropping the balls. First few couple of balls wont follow the settings.
Overall the IPONG robot is worth the price. Highly recommended if you want to learn and practice the game with out the partner.
This was my first ball throwing robot purchase of any kind and wow was I surprised!!!
- Assembly was a snap. Took me 5 mins to get this going
- Ease of use also makes this an excellent buy. The remote allows the user to choose between Frequency of ball delivery, oscillation, topspin and backspin
- The remote is an excellent utility and helps with the ease of use.
- The included accessories in the bundle were god sent. The catch all net was easy to hook up to the table and even easier to disassemble when needed and the ball picker indeed is a blessing for old backs like mine.
- The tilt stand adds a bit of variation to the functioning of the robot allowing for some sharpened skills
Overall I am very satisfied with this purchase. I have had it for 4 months now and my skill set has improved and the fact that I do not have to wait around for friends or family to show up for a game makes this extremely convenient. The balls have not jammed on me yet. I haven't had to clean much either.
So folks, in my honest opinion...this is a great buy for the asking price. Another excellent tool towards your daily quest to stay active and have fun at the same time.
Megaspin reply: We apologize for this. I saw that the robot was returned and you have been refunded in full. I thank you for bringing this to our attention. We had the wrong data from IPONG and our website has been corrected to read 30-70 balls per minute (this is the correct range). We are waiting for IPONG to update their YouTube video description. We will make sure our team compensates you with a discount on an alternative robot for the experience you had.
Pros: the price is much cheaper compared to other robots, easy to setup with remote controller, good for recreation players
Cons: the agitator and the rotating part to feed the ball is made of plastic which is not sturdy. This is the defective part of my first order. The IPONG robot can sometimes get jammed when the hole in the ball feeder aligns to the hole of main body,need manually move the spin part, this seems to be a design flaw. Also the speed and spin sometimes not consistent even with the same settling.
Overall the IPONG robot is worth the price. still recommended.
I would like to see iPong update their website with current information on all of the available models so that it is easier to make a buying decision and also provide information what the recommended settings are for practicing different shots at different performance levels.
1. The pickup net isn’t as convenient and easy to use as they show - maybe I’m just slow too.
2. Though the setup was sooo easy, the first time I turned it on it was super loud and the balls were jammed instantly. After about 5 mins of scooping out the balls and restarting it back up, it got jammed again. After the 3rd time, it finally worked. It like vomited our 3 balls then worked. It’s jammed up another 3 times in the 2 1/2 hours. So that’s a huge bummer - but maybe with more time we can figure out how to eliminate the jamming defect.
Overal - still happy with the purchase, just a bit disappointing and frustrating that it jams so often. I still recommend it for the overall price and features of it. Just be patient I suppose.
Megaspin edit: We will get in touch with the customer to resolve the jamming issue.
The function of it is completely customizable... speed, frequency, spin customization, oscillation... you can go from a totally tame pop fly ball every couple of seconds to absolute freaking chaos. I am a table tennis amateur. Bought a table a month ago along with this machine. I needed this as my wife and kids are not the best practice partners. A friend came over when I first got the table, and again after me practicing with this for a week. What a difference. My skills certainly improved.
Having only had it a few weeks, it's hard to judge longevity, but based on long term reviews of the V300, and the fact that this is essentially the same thing but with improved components, I'm feeling pretty confident... and if it breaks? it's so inexpensive I'll just buy another! I love this thing!
Megaspin reply: This is a new model and we are the first to carry it. We will ask IPONG to adjust their website!
Customer reply: After contacting the customer service from both Megaspin and IPONG, the issue during the registration has been perfectly address. I would like to adjust my review to 5-star. Thanks.
Megaspin reply: We are sorry it did not work! Customer opted for a full refund instead of a free replacement. Customer was also offered $20 credit on a future order.
Received the order quickly, except was surprised to find out that the catch net is on back order. Assembly took less than five minutes with no tools required. After reading instructions and experimenting with remote control was able to get this robot to work in all modes.
Pro:
=>good for practice and exercise.
=>easy to set up and use.
=>hand held remote is great.
Con:
=>Takes time to learn how to use controls.
=>Won't have to chase balls when net comes. =>Current price for this package dropped five dollars from the Black Friday special price. Was offered 10% discount for future purchase by vendor in lieu of refund.
