The main feature of this simulator is that a tennis table is not needed to use it. You just need some free space.
It can come in handy when you would like to play, but there is no way to go to the gym. On this simulator, you can simply arrange a sort of tennis-like fitness. In any free 10 minutes, when you want to feel the racket in your hand and wave it, hitting the ball. Feel how the muscles work when you do a topspin or rollover movement. By the way, there is an important difference compared to kicking balls against a wall or a cabinet - the balls scatter, roll up, they must be collected and removed from where they flew and rolled. While the ball on the simulator does not fly anywhere, it is fixed on the rod and flies only within the length and flexibility of the rod.
Both adults and children can exercise muscles and coordination on this simulator. All you need is a desire and some free space to swing around. You can do it together, one at a time or from different sides.
As for children, this entertainment can be offered to them even if they do not play table tennis. Just as a physical activity, handicraft and the development of the eye and coordination. Or maybe they will also be asked to play in the hall later.
You can practice standing or even sitting, as you like. To adjust the height at which the ball will be, you need to choose what to put the simulator on, it is not difficult to organize it from any improvised means. If you put the simulator on the floor, then the child will be comfortable standing with it, and it will be too low for an adult to practice while standing, you can either sit on a chair or put the simulator on some kind of stand to add height.
When you are doing something for a long time, you can take a break of 10 minutes and hit the ball. Just for fun and distraction. And with both the right hand and the left. Just an affordable way to take a break and get some exercise.
Also, at the initial level, on this simulator, you can show the basics of technique and learn how to just hit the ball. The rod on which the ball is fixed is flexible and springy, the ball flies back and forth quite quickly, you still need to learn how to predict where it will fly in order to hit it next time.
Rackets are slow, just right for kicking the machine. On the one hand, a smooth surface, on the other hand, short spikes. The red smooth side is slightly softer and faster than the black with short spikes.
Of course, these racquets are not for playing in the hall at the table - in order to cost the set as little as it costs, very cheap racquets are put in it. And they are good enough to kick the trainer, but no more. They are needed so that you can use the simulator without buying a racket. And also in order not to wear out the normal pads on the simulator. But in principle, if there is a desire to kick the simulator with your game racket, then there are no obstacles, kick whatever you want.
The ball keeps well on the rod, does not fall off. The rod with the ball can not be disassembled every time. You can just put it away as is.
Weight: a set in a package about 900 g.
