Reviews of IPONG Trainer Motion w/80 balls, Pickup Net and Catch Net (32)
The robot:
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.
The product was defective,the motor feeding the balls appears to be defective, no one wants to service, i have wasted hours of my time trying to get service from megaspin and I pong, they want to defer the responsibility to one another. I pong wants me to make a 60 second video and upload it to their site before they would entertain any return request, which is ridiculous, it is cheaper for me to throw the device away and buy something from Amazon, at least Amazon would stand behind their sale. Very very disappointed with I pong and Megaspin.
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.
Ordered bundle on 10/17/19.
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.
Purchased this in June and received this is July. After three months the machine stopped working in september. Have been following up with megaspin and Ipong on this without much hope. Megaspin has been responding but ipong sent be two responses in a month. I guess my money is gone.

Good to get the combination. Robot is a lot of fun when you want to teach someone new or want a practice partner for the level you play at..
Love this thing. Being able to practice without someone around helps a lot. The motion adds to the training since it can come out across the table instead of only in one spot. The bundle of the back net and pickup net is great. Wish the back net was higher long the sides and long enough to reach the net so balls would not roll off. All the settings of the Trainer Motion allows you to change it up and not practice the same moves all the time. Worth the money for a great beginner/intermediate ping pong machine.
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.
The IPong Trainer Motion is a great training tool. I upgraded my paddle at the same time I bought the IPong and was having difficulty getting used to new paddle. The IPong Trainer Motion solved that after a 1000 or so practice balls. You can adjust direction, spin, speed so this robot should progress with you as you progress.
This product is very useful and helps me improve my skills. Some advice I would give is to make sure to use the net that comes with so it is is easier to pick up the balls. This machine is for the experienced but maybe not the pro table tennis player.
Bought with the Joola table as a bundled purchase.
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.
Easy to assemble. We had fun immediately after opening it. Great product. First couple days and we already feel we are getting better at table tennis. Great purchase!
Product received as described. Shipping was fast. Assembling was easy. What I like it most so far is that it is light weight and portable so I can bring it with me to my pingpong club sometimes. It has not had any problem so far. As an amateur, this robot has all the functionalities I need but not expensive. Highly recommend it.
I purchased this because it had better reviews then the ipong 300. Can't beat getting a free catch net. First motor was defective and they replaced it with immediately when I told them. Great practice machine, great for figuring out the sweet spot on the paddle. You just have to figure out placement based on top spin or bottom spin.
Perfect purchase!
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.
Product is great. It comes with the training robot, 80 balls and a pickup net. (I purchased the bundle with the additional Catch net, which is helpful as this reduces the number of balls that fall onto the ground). The trainer comes with a handy wireless remote that allows changing settings on the fly (frequency, oscillation, topspin and backspin). I played table tennis many years ago and never had a strong forehand stroke. So far, with daily practice, this trainer has helped me improved my stroke consistency, especially my weaker forehand. I look forward to practicing against the trainer using the more advanced settings (oscillation and spins) to improve myself further.
My new ipong trainer motion was feeding balls too quickly, (shooting a bit over 40 balls per minute at the lowest setting) so I asked Ipong's customer service. After providing them a minute video of the trainer and some time, they said that was normal and supposed to be that quick, however on their video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6kcjvHFwPg, in the description under "show more" it clearly says 12 balls to 70 balls per minute (the video description is the same as on Ipong). The half star rating isn't because I received a defective product, but rather because they told me my defective product was working normally. Being unhappy with being lied to and not having my issue addressed (mainly that I had to find evidence that the machine was too fast rather than them admitting it was a defective item). This is not a product I would recommend, solely from the customer service experience. Though the customer service rep was polite and pleasant, she had to ask the 'inventor' whether it was working properly or not. The fact that the inventor said 40-70 balls per minute was normal while their own video had claimed it being 12-70 balls per minute left a rather bad taste. If I had not provided the information that they provided, I would have been stuck with a defective product. I'm not sure why they do not know what their machine is supposed to do, or if they just wanted me to deal with it (which would suck because I got it with the intention of practicing forehand loops and against backspin,and 40 balls per minute is too quick to be continuously hitting with such a bigger stroke as a learning player).I'm sure if you received a working one, everything would be great, but I sincerely hope anyone who received any problems with their ipong trainer do not have to go through their customer support.
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.
My first order was defective and Megaspin helped me get a replacement from Joola. The replacement works fine so far.
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 have had the iPong Trainer Motion for about two week. It was very easy to assemble and get started. My daughter and I use it to warm up before we play a few games and it is definitely improving our games. It is particularly fun to have the person who is not hitting, using the remote to change the settings suddenly on the hitter. It seems to lead to a lot of laughing as the hitter tries to keep up.
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.
I ordered this on 2-5-19 as an early birthday present for my son and received it today. Fast shipping even with this horrible weather. This is perfect for him and he enjoys it so much. He played for 2 1/2 hours straight - between the jams. Which is why I rated it a 4/5 is because:
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 robot arrived on time. It is as good as other robots i have played with but for a cheaper price. Assembly was a 10min job and there was no ball jam. My kids loved it.
