iPong 卓球トレーニングマシン [並行輸入品]

楽しいです😊

内部のローラーなどのメカは雑な作りで寸法精度は粗いです。一応動きはしますが耐久性は期待できなさそうです。そういうものだと思って買った方が良いです。

２週間ほどでピッチを上げるごとにモーター音が悲鳴をあげる・・・使い物にならない。

レシーブの反復練習に使っています。 スピード制御、スピンコントロール、時間玉数など変化させることが 出来るので基礎練習にはもってこいのマシンです。 輸入品にありがちな初期トラブル(電源onせず)がありましたが、 すぐに交換していただき正常動作品が届き快適に使用しています。 一緒に購入すると良いものは球拾いしやすいすくいアミと、 卓球台周囲や背面に張ることができる大型ネットです。 これらが揃えばクラブ活動のライバルにも差がつけられるでしょう。 なお、使用するボールはできるだけ競技用ボール使用がベター！ 安価なレジャー兼用の卓球ボールだと弾みが悪く、トレーニングで 変なクセ(打ち出し角)がついてしまいます。 競技用ボール使用さえ心がければ、これ以上の優れマシンは皆無でしょう。

手軽な値段でテンポよくピン球を送ってくれるのでとても効果的に練習できます。アンダースピンの時のボールコントロールが少しわかりにくいですが慣れてくるとうまくいきます。これからもこの値段で手に入るならおすすめのマシンだと思います。

本体の作りを見てしまうとオモチャっぽく感じますが、球速や球の回転を変える事ができますし、与えられた機能を考えたら価格相応の価値はあるかな、と思いました。 球速は問題なし。球の回転調整も感覚でコントロールできますし、リモコンもあるのでこれらに不満はありません。星3つとした理由は、球の射出される方向が滅茶苦茶だから。ブレなんてレベルじゃありません。 それなりに球速があってノーモーションで左右ランダムに射出されたら、前陣では球に当てるのが精一杯でした。中陣〜後陣での練習なら問題ないと思います。 自分はレシーブや台上処理の練習目的で購入したので、ちょっとアテが外れてしまいました。

息子にかいました 使用回数が、２０回程度で壊れてしまいました 修理のことなどを聞きたくてメールしましたが、並行輸入品ということと二ヶ月たっていたということで、修理の方法すら提案して貰えませんでした。

部活の多球練習用に購入したのですが、手軽には違いないのですが、ボールの飛び出し方が不安定でした。また、上回転と下回転の操作が解りづらく、調整に手間がかかります。結局使いこなせないでそのままになっています。

It works well but the material is week

Background: I play regularly at my local table tennis club. I wouldn't call myself a great player, but I'm no slouch. I wanted this thing in order to: 1. Get some exercise. 2. Tinker and tune my strokes. I also understood the limitations of a machine like this. It cannot shoot a ball with low velocity and high spin. You can choose high speed and high spin, or low on both settings categories. I think some people don't understand this before they purchase one of these. Performance: At this point I have now had this thing launch a few thousand balls at me. The iPong Original has performed very well. I mainly use Gambler Gold balls, but I have some others mixed in. The settings for increasing or decreasing the interval between shots allows anything between a very slow pace to frantic. The spin adjustments work well. If you want a slow shot with no spin, you turn both the topspin and backspin down low. If you want fast and topspin, turn the topspin way up and the backspin way down. I have only had it jam once. I gave it a shake and it hasn't happened since. I've noticed if balls are different enough, they will come out differently, and why wouldn't they?? This actually gives you a bit of unpredictability to play with. But I would really suggest using the same kind of ball if you want consistency, and again, I'd suggest the Gambler Gold balls. Extra thoughts: Use some creativity with this and you can avoid the need to buy a more expensive robot! If you want to practice smashing, this thing doesn't produce a slow lob no matter how how you set it on the table by itself, but you can still make it happen! I set a box on the table close to the net and then set the iPong on the box. Then I put paper back books under it to tilt it up at an angle, and finally I turn it on with slow, no-spin. And I smash away. It's really not hard and it's my favorite way to use this! But if you think this is too much hassle, you'll need to buy something far more expensive. Fast topspin is what this machine can do best. It's a great way to practice counter-looping. If you want a slow shot with heavy backspin, such as from a serve, this might not be able to produce that. Though I've been thinking of ways I could position it on the floor and tilt it up... Haven't tried it yet. I use the iPong net to collect the balls. You really need this or else you'll spend all day looking for the balls, or worse - stepping on them. I like switching between forehand and backhand on alternating shots. I enjoy seeing how many aggressive shots I can land consecutively. This has improved my basic strokes. I've been able to unlearn some bad habits. My backhand attack has improved noticeably in club play. It's a good basic robot. Don't expect a $700 robot! Add in some creativity and you'll really enjoy this.

No height adjustment Very good delivery

It a practical machine, for a basic type of trainer, I've had lots of fun and kids have enjoyed a good time with it also. If you've got a bigger budget and you are a fairly advanced player, then i would recommend going for another trainer which also oscillates right and left.

I would like to focus this review on what the iPong is and not try and compare it with other more expensive robots. So if you are in the market for a full featured robot, my advice is to invest in those robots. BUT if you want a fair product eval on the iPong Original than please read on. I bought the iPong because I don't have the budget to invest in a Newgy or like robot. I play at the office almost every day and at least once a week at my local TT club. With that said I am a total noob to table tennis and I am not very good. I figure a robot would be a great training aid and with the lack of a friend that shares my desire to get better I needed something. Enter the iPong! My first impression when unpacking the iPong was; it's really well made. I know these types of items are mass produced, but JOOLA put some thought into designing this and use higher end materials in the process. It's really easy to put together, 5 stars on packaging and assembly. I put it on the table and plugged it in, started it up and tested with some practice balls. The first thing I noticed was the noise, it's pretty loud, and the faster you make the back or top spin the louder it gets. This is not a major issue, it's just the first thing I noticed. Once I dialed in the settings I started to hit, and at first I blamed the iPong for serving the ball wrong and that's why I was crushing them into the net. Then I came to the realization that I am really bad at TT and the iPong was just serving the ball close to the net where I never really play. Another feather in JOOLA's cap, I like to believe they thought about this and engineered the iPong to keep the ball low. I think over time this will make me a better player. 3 stars for noise, 5 stars for challenging me. Operation (after 7 hoppers full 6/2/2015): 1. When there are 9 balls left they just stay in the hopper and never make it into the chute. Happened every time. 2. When the hopper is about half full a ball would get stuck in the chute. Happened about half the time. 3. Every 5th or 6th ball comes out with little force and to the left. Good for testing your chops. 4. Even with raising the iPong off the table the ball doesn't bounce high, this is a good thing in the long run. I have a goal. I am going to use the iPong for 30 days and report back to this thread on my progress. I feel that 3 stars is a fair review for now. I think there are improvements to me and the machine that will make me happier with the iPong but I need to give this a fair shot. Update (7/3/2015) I added another start to my review, because the iPong is doing what it is designed to do. It's helping me become a better table tennis player. If you want all the features of the high end robots, then go buy one, but if you want a great value and a tool that will make you a better player then buy this tool. All the issues that I mentioned in the above operation section still happen and I am fine with it.
