Joola TT Buddy V300 - A presentation of the table tennis robot à la Joola

With the Joola TT Buddy V300, there is a table tennis robot available which is particularly suitable for beginners. But also hobby players and slightly advanced players will be happy with the positive properties of this robot. Below you will find detailed information regarding the Joola TT Buddy V300.

Joola TT Buddy V300 - A solid performance with many advantages

The Joola TT Buddy V300 is one of the lightest table tennis machines: It only weighs about 1.1 kg, which makes this robot very handy, and easy to transport. Similarly to the other ping pong machines from the V-series, also the V300 has a nice and modern design. It measures 48 x 28 x 28 cm (fully assembled), which is also very handy.

This brings us to another advantage of the Joola TT Buddy V300: The very fast and easy assembly / disassembly. There are 2 levels of the ball ejection frequency (20 - 70 balls/min), and you can select topspin (also strong topspin), and backspin (in 5 intensity levels). The V300 also exhibits an oscillation function enabling a targeting of various spots from one single position. The Joola TT Buddy V300 can also be operated via a remote control, and is characterized by its low price.

Joola TT Buddy V300 - What else is important to know

Unfortunately, there are not only positive aspects associated with this TT robot. You should keep in mind that the speed at which the balls are ejected is quite high. This may be too demanding for some beginners. Also, you need to manually place the balls into the ball bucket (there is no automated ball return system). Hence, we recommend you to buy a ball collecting net in addition.

The served balls are not very precise, they exhibit quite some scattering. This may be a limiting factor for advanced players, depending on their gaming level. Balls even get stuck occasionally. The Joola TT Buddy V300 is not equipped with a battery mode, but only with a power supply unit. Facing the low acquisition costs of the V300 as well as the presence of several basic functions/settings, the disadvantages are put into perspective.

The Joola TT Buddy V300 is a useful and inexpensive table tennis robot for hobby players, beginners, or slightly advanced players.

The functions of the TT Buddy-series:

• Joola TT Buddy V200: Topspin, backspin, and counter ejections targeting one spot.
• Joola TT Buddy V300: Topspin, backspin, counters, and oscillation functions for different target spots.

The advantage of the TT Buddies is clearly their low price. In case you have - qualitatively speaking - higher demands, we recommend you other robots, please see below.
