Power Pong Beta (Old model)
Power Pong Beta has been replaced by Paddle Palace Power Pong Alpha+. The Power Pong Beta is similar to Power Pong Alpha but with these additional features: • 50 memory slots The Power Pong Beta table tennis robot is a 3-wheel head robot that shares most of its features with the Power Pong Delta and Power Pong Omega. It's able to create "complex" training drills, involving a serve or return of serve, followed by a combination of balls with no spin, underspin, sidespin and topspin combinations. The Power Pong Beta provides you with a fully realistic training experience at a much lower price than other robots with comparable features. It will also be upgradable to both the Delta and Omega. Comparison vs other brands Includes: • 50 Memory slots • The Power Pong Beta can have a maximum of 6 balls per drill, compared to 8 balls per drill for the Power Pong Delta and Omega models. However, for many players, 6 balls will be plenty! Introduction Here's a walkthrough of the Power Pong Alpha Control Box (showing the 2001 model which works in the same way): We show a side spin serve, a long under spin push, followed by 2 topspin and couple of lobs one with under spin and the other with topspin. A hard-copy product manual is not included by the manufacturer but you can find it below: Power Pong robots are made in Hungary at a factory that makes robots for a well-known table tennis brand. Power Pong robots come with an excellent warranty and are supported by reliable US-based technical support service.
• ability to produce heavier topspin and under spin balls
• the option for a short break at the end of the drill when you start it with a serve.
The Beta can produce spin combinations with no spin, medium and heavy spin and similar products around the same price range can typically only do 1 type of a spin at a time.
Higher priced products might have more memory slots at a much higher price, but the other features and the quality of shots are the same.
