PONGBOT

PONGBOT builds serving robots for two racket sports and treats both as software problems. Its table tennis robots use two squeeze wheels that put up to 100 revolutions per second of spin on the ball and switch spin type in 0.66 seconds, with automatic oscillation that places balls anywhere on your side; the drill libraries run from 264 to more than 700 preset programs, every one editable in the app. Its tennis ball machines feed at up to 80 mph with 60 rps of spin from six placement positions, and the Pace S Pro adds a wearable tag and net-mounted stations that track where you are on court at 100 Hz so the machine can play to your movement rather than to a fixed spot.

The company was founded in 2019 by Zhang Haibo, has raised close to RMB 200 million in funding, and took in more than $2.7 million on Kickstarter in October 2024. Olympic and world champion Zhang Jike is PONGBOT's global brand ambassador, and the brand is an official partner of the Australian Open, whose logo appears on the Pace S series. Repair centers in California and Germany handle service, and free replacement parts are supplied during the warranty. All PONGBOT products in our store are sold at PONGBOT's minimum advertised price.

Three table tennis robots cover three ways to train. The Nova S Pro is the portable one: 4 kg, sits anywhere on the table including at the net, 9 spin types at up to 60 rps, 150-ball hopper, 264+ drills, and an included N-Control S remote. The Omni S Pro clamps to the end of the table and adds 360-degree spin at up to 100 rps, automatic oscillation, a 250-ball hopper with an integrated recovery net, and the E-Pad S touchscreen controller with 522+ drills. The Halo S Pro puts the same serving performance on a wheeled floor stand that can serve from the center or either side of the table, with 702+ drills.

On the tennis court, the Pace S feeds at 15 to 80 mph with topspin, underspin, or flat balls at up to 60 rps, six placement positions, a 150-ball hopper, 396+ drills, the P Control S remote, and up to 8 hours per battery. The Pace S Pro keeps the same machine and adds Movement Tracking: two P Station S units on the net and a P Tag S on your collar feed your position to the machine for Adaptive Rally, Recovery Trigger, Match Challenge against NTRP 1.0 to 7.0 opponents, and Arena of Dash, with 564+ drills and the P Control S Pro remote. Our PONGBOT comparison lines up all five.
