Change spin type, spin amount, speed, placement, and trajectory on each shot in a drill. Use Individual Frequency Control (IFC) to fine tune timing between shots. Activate the mirror function to instantly change a drill so it runs correctly for either a left or right handed player. Made in Hungary, Amicus Prime is far and away the best ping pong robot available.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncludes an Android tablet with 21 pre-saved drills. Simply select a drill, tap Start, and begin playing instantly. Watch a demonstration video showing a top player doing the drill to learn better techniques. All drills show top-view and side-view diagrams so you know the speed, spin, placement, and order of all shots in the drill in one quick glance. Or randomize shots so you don't know where the ball will be thrown next. Use Cycle mode for table tennis interval training to improve your physical condition and table tennis skills at the same time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCreate and save virtually unlimited number of custom drills.
