Thank you for the kind words. I have been playing TT for over 30 years but I don't think of myself as a champion. I still have so much to learn and improve.
I use the robot mostly as a supplement to my normal TT routine. I prefer to train with partners and use the robot when I feel I need to fine tune something. I also used it in the past when it was hard to find a partner with similar schedules. Sorry I cannot give you a quantifiable answer but this robot has great flexibility in programming sequences.
Very impressive skills. I wish i had the space for a table tennis table at home as well :) What racket are you using if you don't mind me asking? Or rubbers
yep, that is my biggest weapon. It has a natural powerful wrist and arm rotation, ever since I was a teenager. I think it has to do with bone structure. I am unable to generate such power and spin on Forehand, plus trying to do so results in using 10x more energy making me tired quickly. I need to build more stamina for that. Good observation, I get many compliments on my BH especially when it’s on fire.
hello, thanks for sharring video,. can u please tell about the tablet quality this robot have and what is the quality of robot serve. and it is placed in center of table can it be put on left or right side. thanks
tablet quality is ok, not great but not terrible. I often use my phone instead of the tablet. Regarding serve quality, this is a challenge for all robots and I must say this robot does the best from those which I have sampled. It has limits, it cannot do a fast dead ball serve, but it can do many topspin variations and a bunch of short serve with heavy or light backspin/sidespin. You can adjust the height of the head to help with this. I find it best to use the highest ring for the head when working on backspin short serves.
I don’t know, never tried the power pong but I’d say that the Amicus Prime App is so flexible and easy to use. Ability to visually configure exercises and make adjustments is very intuitive in my opinion.
PowerPongt is essentially the same robot with different mother board in the robot. This is swappable by PowerPong if needed. So Amicus prime can become PowerPong and use PowerPong app which is a bit more user friendly and more organized. Download the free app for both and see which one you like more. Both essentially do the same thing. I got stuck with butterfly but i like the user interface of PowerPong better. Personal choices.
Thanks, a local umpire tells me the same when he watches my matches. I just need to be reminded regularly since I don’t play many tournaments. Club players don’t care since almost everyone has illegal serves. I really appreciate you watching my video and taking the time to comment.
@@axfrayberg well,I agree that a lots of club players have illegal service. But I grew up paying even before it became popular to hide the ball with my left hand, and bothers me much more that serving without tossing 15 cm up
No issues and I know several people with this same robot, no reported issues as far as I know. Also, their tech support is very knowledgeable and helpful.
No, it connects just fine. I’ve used with the tablet, iphone, and ipad with much success. Lately I have been using the tablet after upgrading to latest firmware and rebooting the tablet, works great.
@@axfrayberg Thank you so much for your answer. I was wondering if Amicus Prime Robot will work with Power Pong software? They are both practically from the same manufacture in Hungary I believe...It would be cool to test which software work best....
@@jimtran7447 Of course I have wondered the same, if the software is interchangeable between the two robots. I am not familiar with Power Pong software interface but I must say that I am very happy with the Amicus Prime app. It seems easy to use and easy to customize.
@@axfrayberg Glad to hear the amicus prime work well. I just bought one too...Can't wait to try it. According to Megaspin, the Power Pong app is actively being improved with new features at the time of writing this article and customer app reviews are very favorable. Butterfly recently released a bug fix update for their Android app, showing that the app is still being maintained. Both robots are built to perform for a long time, so having an active team behind the continued development of the training experience may be an important factor in the long run. Both apps can be downloaded from the respective app stores to be tested so we recommend trying the apps out for yourself and reading their app reviews to help you make your decision. The Power Pong app does a lot of the work for you by calculating the ball trajectory based on the table, speed and spin settings. The Amicus Prime allows for a maximum of ten different shots for each drill compared to the limit of eight for the Power Pong 5000. While it is uncommon for a player to use more than five or six distinct shots in a single drill, this difference may impact your buying decision. The Amicus Prime comes pre-programmed with 20 drills designed by German Butterfly coach Richard Prause. The integrated videos demonstrate proper execution of these drills. The Power Pong 5000 has 12 pre-programmed drills and both robots can store as many customized programs as your device can hold which are really cool...
@@axfrayberg The apps for these 2 robots are not interchangeable. The Amicus app does not work with PowerPong and PowerPong app does not work with Amicus. Those apps will not connect with the other brand, so no way to even transfer any commands, much less have those commands executed properly.
Hi there, great video. Can I just ask something. It looks like you don't load the machine with balls like other robots and do does it keep sucking the balls up from the net so it can keep going for a long time, providing you hit the balls onto the net. 😁
Yes, that is correct, there is a tray which collects the balls and reuses them. This is very common for higher end robots. The lower end robots often do not come with a net.
Hi WhiteKnightPoet, thanks for the feedback, I'd be happy to share the settings used in this video, in fact the app allows users to exchange the exercises via email with an export/import feature. It's easier for us to chat on other social media such as whatsapp, facebook/messenger, email, etc..I should be easy to find.
I could find no axfrayberg on facebook, and I could find no ax frayberg on facebook. I only found a alex frayberg on facebook but there was no identifying information about him. He did, however, have a picture of a ping pong table on his page but upon clicking on the picture, the person that popped up was named Tahl Alexander Leibovitz and he didn't look at all like you. So I gave up. And somehow, my original comment is now missing from where I posted it earlier.
My opinion is, any robot is great to help with certain aspects of the game. You can use it for exercise and warmup purposes, also to help reinforce something you struggle with, maybe heavy backspin to forehand, or transitions from BH to FH or there are countless use cases. However, do not mistake this machine as a substitute for a coach. If you hit 500 balls with incorrect technique in your swing or footwork, you will instill that poor technique when playing a human. With a coach, the poor technique will get addressed instantly. So the robot is just an extra tool you can use, and good as a supplement to proper training, but not a replacement to formal training.
@@axfrayberg it's like jogging exercise for pong players I believe a coach will teach fakes hand serve disguises that's about it imo the rest is pure talent of dexterity for each players abilities only a certain threshold for 99% 1% will be wonders of that areas players
I am not a Butterfly technician, but first thing I would do is clean/wipe everything, make sure there is no buildup of grime on the metal plate, spinners, and the ball tube. Then I would check for any software and firmware updates. Also, I assume you are using the correct size balls, but if they are very old, consider getting a new set of balls and see if the same is happening. Butterfly tech support is very good, I have talked to them in the past. Consider reaching out to them by email.
@@882828jc yes. I might sell it. But the problem is with shipping. It is going to be a large package. The problem with double balls has been fixed. It was only a matter of installing the robots "neck" the right way
That back hand mate! 🔥
I am very impressed with your tt skills. You probably are a champion of your area.
Thank you for the kind words. I have been playing TT for over 30 years but I don't think of myself as a champion. I still have so much to learn and improve.
Very nice machine and the robot, too! :-) Congratulations. May I ask you what's the size of the room
Very good play! Are these default settings or can you post yours. Thanks
Thank you for the great video🏓👍🏼 How much has your game improved since buying the robot?

Good question, not until he play with me🤣
Hello. I have a problem with my amicus expert: it will throw 2 balls at once every 5-6 throws. Can you give me a solution?
Thank you

your back hand top spin is good

How different is this from power pong omega. They look identical. Same manufacture with different branding?

good practice, but services like these are not legal any more. must remove left hand after the toss

No issues and I know several people with this same robot, no reported issues as far as I know. Also, their tech support is very knowledgeable and helpful.
