Reviews of the Newgy Robo-Pong 1040 ppgear said this on September 18, 2008:
It's a decent machine, but is quite limited. Since there's only 1 spin wheel, the spin is always proportional to the speed, so little speed and little spin, or high speed and high spin. Also, for underspin balls, to make it go far, the underspin will be so strong that it's unrealistically hard to lift. The proportion of spin is heavier than what's expected in normal games.
It's a decent machine, but anyone in the 1800+ USATT rating probably needs a higher model for more features. It's best feature is probably just the oscillation for footwork drills. If you can't afford a $1000+ robot then this is still a good deal. stewartchung said this on September 21, 2008:
I agreed ppgear's comment.
Machine cannot produce no spin balls. I brought this machine for exercise purposes. For only $400, it is a OK machine. James E. said this on July 9, 2009:
It's a pretty good robot. At this price you get what you pay for. It's useful for foot work and general drills. SpinJunki said this on October 1, 2009:
I own the 2040 haven't had any problems out of it. I'll probably have to replace the ball spin wheel because of the wear i put on it. You don't need a manual to operate but it will give you much more ways to use the robot then i thought just by play out of the box. I love this machine and look forward to the new 2050 thats coming out soon to upgrade to. Atombombed said this on October 2, 2009:
if i had the choice of the 2040 or the 1040 i would chose the 1040 personnaly i would chopse this because the feauteres are the same as the 2040 however there are a few that they are noyt however this is easy to overcome this is a veryh good robot whitch is worth its money.

As stated by others. The underspin capability is useless. It is so strong that it is impossible to develop a stroke that can be used in real game situations battling the 1040's underspin. The topspin is okay, but you would be better to save your money and buy a two wheel machine rather than the single that is in the 1040. Anonymous said this on August 25, 2010:
Pippy says get the 540. Its the same thing but less parts to screw up...just watch out for shipping and duty if you live north of the border...never could figure out NAFTA:) game, set, match! (oh yeah, that's tennis, oh well) Somehow I've changed my name to anonimiss and perhaps thats a good thing! |
