Question: How would you compare Prakttismate robots with other robots?
Answer: We do not know of any other robot that is able to throw real loops, no spin, top spin or any other spin and have so many additional features such as being able to be a left handed player or a right handed player. The height adjustability is also a very desirable feature.
Question: How can the price of Prakttismate be so low compared to less capable robots.
Answer: We are able to keep the prices this low, because we only sell the robots on the Internet. This way, there is no middle dealer. This saves you quite a bit. A robot that now sells for $900, would perhaps, cost $1400 if you bought it through a dealer.
Question: How do you define "loop"?
Answer: A loop is a ball that has "enhanced" topspin. Any ball that is driven at its top and allowed to travel through the air will have top spin on it. Moreover, the spin and speed product is approximately a constant. In other words, if the ball is driven to be faster, then the spin will increase proportionately. The converse is true. Therefore, to get no spin, the speed of the ball would have to be zero. Can balls be served at zero speed? I think not. In the case of a loop, the speed and spin are not directly proportional to each other. This means that you can have a ball with a lot of spin, but it is moving very slowly. If you increase the speed of this ball to match the speed of the top spin ball previously mentioned, you will find that you have a lot more spin and this is a loop.
All robots can throw top spin. Prakttismate is the only robot capable of
throwing loops.
Question: How much time does it take to set up PK1 net?
Answer: It takes about four minutes. The net comes pre-assembled. It is quite easy to do.
Question: How do I set up a serve on the PK robots?
Answer: There are two ways to set up a serve. The first way is to set the height so that it is near, or at maximum. Tilt the head down to an angle at which the balls will hit the robot side of the table first. Set your spin and speed so that the balls will hit the robot side of the table and the player's side of the table.
Another way to get serves, is to set the height at any position and tilt the head up. Let the balls come out very slowly and fall on the robot side of the table, bounce over the net and hit the player's side of the table.
Question. How can I be sure that I will receive my robot and you won't take my money?
Answer. Prakttismate is a company registered with the State of Connecticut, USA. If we just took your money without delivering your robot, we would have to answer to the State of Connecticut if you contacted them.
