WELCOME!
Congratulations on Purchasing a Newgy Robo-Pong 3050XL!
Thank you for choosing Newgy! Newgy Industries, Inc. takes pride in developing high quality, smartly engineered
table tennis products that are easy to use, while also being challenging and exciting.
The Robo-Pong 3050XL table tennis robot was developed
to create the most human-like playing and training
experience for you. The life-like features enable you to
perfectly simulate any opponent - from recreational
beginner player to Olympic Gold Medalist, and everything
in between. With the simple touch of a button, you can
decide to have a basic playing session, advanced training
session, design your own training session, or a full-body
aerobic workout session.
The easy-to-use App and Bluetooth® technology allows
you to navigate easily from drill to drill. The Robo-Pong
3050XL really is the table tennis tool for everyone – easy
enough for a beginner yet challenging enough for a pro!
“For the last 21 years, I have traveled to Europe, Asia and throughout North America training and competing
against the world’s best table tennis players. I know exactly what an Olympic-level training session should be.
With the development of the Robo-Pong 3050XL, robot training has “come to life” for me. With human-like
combinations of different spins, deceptive serves, powerful smashes, no-spin balls, spinny loops and excellent
variations, I can now get an Olympic training session from the convenience of my own home.
The best aspect of the robot is that it is designed
for everyone. With the simple touch of a button, my
wife, my five year-old daughter and I can all use the
same robot to fit our different playing levels and
training needs in the same session. Just select the
drill and press play! I’m overjoyed by the simplicity
– no adjustments necessary! I look forward to
continuing to improve my table tennis skills with the
Robo-Pong 3050XL as I train for the Olympics, and
as I train my five year-old daughter to be a future
Olympic champion!”
-Samson Dubina, U.S. National Team Member
Mr. Joseph E. Newgarden, Jr.

Attach the Robot to the Table
Pick up the robot by the center base
and secure it to the table by angling
it downward and against the table.
The support legs should be as wide as
possible before they go underneath the
table and the front support triangle sits
on top of the table.
Preparing the Mounting Bracket
Place the robot on the table with the
open front side facing you. Gently lift
the robot’s head and pull the mounting
bracket towards you. Using the rubber
tip packet - select and install the correct
rubber tips for the thickness of your table
so the trays stay level.
Lift the Back Net Tubes
Turn the robot around 180° so the net
support tubes are now facing you. Grasp
the second tube from your right and pull
up, removing it from its storage hole.
Place the bottom of this tube into the top
of the first tube on your right as shown.
Repeat on the left side.
Lower the Ball Trays
Grasp one of the ball return trays and lift
straight up to unlock it. Now grasp the
adjacent net support tube, and slowly
lower it into position. Be careful not to
let the tray or support tube slam down.
Repeat on the other side.

Attach the Side Nets
Attach the side nets to your table tennis
table net by slipping the red flexible band
over your table net support base and
looping it over the table net clamp screw.
Adjust each side nets tension to “lock”
the trays firmly against the table, which
reduces vibration and increases accuracy.
Attach the Device Holder to Table
The included Personal Device Holder is for your
convenience to safely hold your smart phone or
tablet while playing and be within easy reach
to adjust settings in the App. It is optional to
use. To install, use the holder knob to attach
the bracket to the Device Holder. Then slide the
bracket under the table and adjust the bracket
knob until it secures tightly to the table. This will
function vertically or horizontally.
Pour in the Balls
Make sure that you use only recommended
balls for the Newgy Robo-Pong 3050XL –
Newgy Robo-Ball 2-Star 40+mm, or any
ITTF-approved 2 or 3 star 40+mm balls.
Do not mix 40+mm balls with other size
balls. Extra Robo-Balls can be purchased
at www.newgy.com.

Control Mode: Standard
In the Standard Mode, the user interface allows you to indicate where and what types of ball(s) the robot
should throw. You select the landing position and properties of each ball and the 3050XL robot calculates the
settings needed to deliver the ball(s) to each position.
You can specify 1 to 10 different balls in any Standard Mode drill. You can also specify the number of balls
thrown before the drill stops (Count). Examples: a drill with 5 balls and a Count of 4 will stop the drill after
4 balls even though the drill is unfinished. A drill with 5 balls and a Count of 50 will run the drill 10 times and
stop after the 50th ball. You can also specify the Balls Per Minute to adjust the frequency of ball delivery. For
example 30 Balls Per Minute is one ball every 2 seconds and 90 Balls Per Minute is one ball every 3/4 seconds.
The main interface depicts your side of the table and 3 options for setting up a drill. These options are;
the number of balls you set on the table, “Count” and “Balls Per Minute”.
When you “Touch here To Start”, a screen will open allowing you to touch and scroll through the settings
to select the characteristics you want on the ball:
Ball Type 5 options Top Spin or Top Spin Serve - Back Spin or Back Spin Serve - and No Spin
Spin Speed 7 options Select from Lowest to Highest
Side Spin 3 options None, Left, Right
Angle 7 options 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°, and 90°
Count: The total number of balls thrown before the drill stops.
Balls Per Minute: This is the frequency of ball delivery. The range is 1 to 120.
Start: Press this button to play your drill.
Save: Press this button to save your drill in My Drill Library with a custom name for future use.
Load: Press this button to load any of your favorited or saved drills that have been previously saved.
Back: Press this button to go back to the previous screen.
Clear: Press this button to clear all settings and ball placement.

Once you select the characteristics you want, press SET and the ball will appear on the table.
Each ball on the table is “draggable”, which means you can touch it and move it to a new location. You can also
double touch it to change its characteristics. When the ball icon is moved, if color of the ball changes to red, the
robot is judging that the ball that has been set cannot be delivered, and the robot will intelligently move it to a
position where it can be delivered.
Notice that the Ball icon has a visual indicator of the spin. Top Spin balls have Top on the upper part of the Ball icon
to indicate it is a top spin ball. Back spin balls will have Back on the bottom of the Ball icon. The words Top and
Back will be angled to the left or right if you have added left or right sidespin to a ball. The location of the words
Top or Back reflect the amount of sidespin angle selected.
Pressing the “Start” button will prepare the robot for the drill. There will be a delay of 3 seconds before the drill
begins. To stop the drill at any time, press STOP on the device screen.
Once you have created a drill you like, you can save it as a custom drill to use at a later date. The robot also comes
with several pre-programmed drills you can choose from in Drill Mode. If you wish you can share the drill using the
Export feature in My Drill Library. You can also receive drills from other 3050XL owners and coaches by using the
Import feature in My Drill Library.

In the Precision Mode, the interface uses a “Position” to define where the ball(s) will be delivered. In this
mode it is the user (not the 3050XL) that controls and calculates the 7 attributes which are applied to
all balls in each Position. You can specify the number of balls from 1 to 10 that are sent to that Position,
Once you create a Position, you can duplicate it, add another Position or delete a Position if needed. You
can also make adjustments to any Position as you create drills.
You can also specify the number of balls thrown before the drill stops (Count). Examples: a drill with 5 Positions
of 1 ball each and a Count of 4 will stop the drill after 4 balls even though the drill is unfinished. A drill with 5
positions of 1 ball each and a Count of 50 will run the drill 10 times and stop after the 50th ball.
When you are satisfied with a Precision Mode drill, you can save it as a custom drill in My Drill Library. If
you wish you can share the drill using the Export feature in My Drill Library. You can also receive drills
from other 3050XL owners and coaches by using the Import feature in My Drill Library.

13
Control Mode: Precision
Each position in the interface gives you 7 attributes to control each ball:
Number of Balls: This is the number of balls you want in each ball Position.
Wait Time: This is the time between balls in each Position. Note that the Wait Time also affects the time
between the last ball in a Position and the first ball in the next Position. (Example: In the image above,
when transitioning between Position #1 to Position #2, the Wait Time between these two Positions will be 1
second, because Position #2’s Wait Time is 1 second. In the example above a wait time of 1000 = 1 second.)
Top Motor (Wheel): This is the speed of the top motor. Positive numbers to 100 (1 to 100) will turn the wheel
forward and increase the amount of top spin. Negative numbers to 100 (-1 to -100) will turn the wheel backwards,
adding more spin to the back spin effect. At number 0, the wheel does not spin.
Bottom Motor (Wheel): This is the speed of the bottom motor. Positive numbers to 100 (1 to 100) will turn
the wheel forward and increase the amount of back spin. Negative numbers to 100 (-1 to -100) will turn the
wheel backwards, adding more spin to the top spin effect. At number 0, the wheel does not spin.
Oscillation: This controls the robot from left to right. Numbers 0 to 49 will turn the robot head to the
player’s left, and numbers 51 to 100 will turn the robot head to the player’s right, with the centerline of
the table being 50.
Height: This controls the robot head tilting up and down. This value ranges from 0 to 100. At number 50,
the robot head stays at a level position.
Rotation: This controls the rotation of the robot head that creates your desired side spin. Range is -90 to
+90, with 0 being a vertical robot head. Negative numbers (-1 to -90) rotate it to the players left, positive
numbers (1 to 90) rotate it to the players right.
Pressing the green “+” button allows you to add a Position to your drill. Pressing the red “x“ button
removes the Position from your drill. Pressing the yellow “copy” button copies the Position to your drill.
Once you have chosen the 7 attributes for each of the Positions, press the Start button to activate your
Precision Mode drill.
Motor (Wheel) Notes: One of the main benefits to having two motors is you can now achieve more spin without
having to increase the speed at the same time.
For even more spin on your ball, use both the top and bottom motors and set them to counter each other.
Example: Set your top motor at -50 and your bottom at 50.
If you desire no spin on your ball, set both the top and bottom motors to the same speed. Example: Set your top
motor at 50 and your bottom motor at 50.

The Newgy Robo-Pong 3050XL has excellent spin variation in the rallies, just like playing against a real
opponent in a tournament! The green and red indicator lights will let you know the exact spin on the ball
so that you can choose the correct stroke to use.
1 green light = light topspin
2 green lights = medium topspin
3 green lights = heavy topspin
4 green lights = very heavy topspin
No lights = no spin
1 red light = light backspin
2 red lights = medium backspin
3 red lights = heavy backspin
4 red lights = very heavy backspin
As in a real match, there are also sidespin variations as well. The robot’s head will turn clockwise or
counterclockwise before throwing a sidespin ball. The direction of the lights is the direction of the
sidespin. For example, if you see the indicator lights pointing to the left, that signifies that the opponent’s
racket went to the left (similar to a backhand sidespin serve). If the indicator lights point to the left
and down, that signifies that the opponent’s racket went to the left and down (similar to a backhand
backspin/sidespin serve).
In order to return the spin, touch the same side of the ball as the lights are indicating. If you see lights on
the bottom of the robot’s head, touch the bottom of the ball. If you see lights on the right, touch right.
If you see lights on the top-right, then touch top right. Using the 3050XL to return the various spins is
really the best way to learn how to counter the spin and impart your own spin!
In the event that your Bluetooth® connection is lost or the robot unpairs from your device, follow these
steps to begin a new connection:
1) Exit and restart the Newgy App
2) Turn your device’s Bluetooth® capability off and then back on again
3) Reconnect your Robo-Pong 3050XL to your device using the Newgy App

Warm-up your backhand stroke by controlling the
ball to different locations – sometimes hitting to
the forehand, sometimes middle, and sometimes
backhand.

Link the strokes together by hitting one forehand
and one backhand! Use a mini-step to move from
one ball to the next.

move the ball around in the forehand zone; watch
the robot’s head and look for the subtle variations!

In-And-Out Footwork
Move in for the short forehand, then move back
for the deep forehand. Next, move in for the short
backhand, then move back a bit for the deep
backhand. Stay on your toes, leaning forward, and
contact the ball in-front of your body.
Three Middle, One to Either Corner
Pay Attention! The first three balls go to your middle,
then suddenly the fourth ball goes surprisingly to
either corner. Watch the robot’s head and be ready
to make the adjustment!
Forehand Random
Within the forehand side of the table, you will get
medium speed balls. Move quickly, get in position,
and turn your shoulders as you make contact with
the ball!
Backhand Random
Within the backhand side of the table, you will get
medium speed balls. Lean forward, creating space
for your backspin, and brush the ball forward using
your wrist and forearm to generate spin on your
backhand stroke.
Fast Random
Be ready to quickly adjust, these balls will be coming
anywhere on the table. Keep your racket in front
and be ready to make fast transitions from middle
to forehand to backhand!
Short Forehand, Deep Backhand
The first ball will be short to your forehand, then the
follow-up ball will be deep to your backhand. If you
are right handed, step forward with your right foot
to get you closer to the ball.
Short Backhand, Deep Forehand
Attack the first ball with your backhand, then
quickly get back for the deep forehand.
Backhand Rally, Surprise Forehand
This is just like a game. It starts with a serve, then
gives a backhand rally of one to five balls, then
suddenly it surprises you to the forehand. After the
sequence, it gives a short break for you to physically
and mentally recover for the next ball.
No-Spin Serves
This drill gives you no-spin serves. You can choose
whether to chop or attack each of these balls.
Whichever you choose, make sure that you keep a
relaxed grip and brush the ball to impart maximum
spin.
Serve, Two Speed Balls
After returning the serve, get ready for two fast
balls. Just meet the ball and focus on keeping it low!
Serve, High Forehand, High Backhand
After returning the serve, you will get a high ball
to your forehand then a high ball to the backhand.
Get in position and smash both high balls with your
powerful forehand!
Serve, Then Speed
After returning the serve, be ready for three fast
balls – one to the forehand, one to the middle, then
one to the backhand.
Forehand Game Situation
First, you will get a backspin serve to the forehand,
push it. Next you will get a deep backspin ball to the
forehand, get down low and loop it up and over the
net. Finally, you will get a deep topspin ball to the
forehand, start your hand high and drive through
the ball forward.
Backhand Game Situation
First, you will get a backspin serve to the backhand,
push it. Next you will get a deep backspin ball to the
backhand, get down low and loop it up and over the
net. Finally, you will get a deep topspin ball to the
backhand, start your hand high and drive through
the ball forward.
Short Serve Then 10 Balls
You will get a short serve, step forward and push
or flip this ball. Next, you will have a marathon rally
of 10 topspin balls anywhere on the table. You will
then have a short rest before the next rally.
No Spin, Topspin
Watch out for the tricky spin variations. The robot
will alternate between no-spin serves and topspin
serves! Pay attention and adjust your swing slightly
for each ball!
Left Sidespin Serve Return
Regardless if you choose to hit with your forehand
or backhand, touch the right side of the ball to
control it onto the table.
Right Sidespin Serve Return
If you contact the back of the ball, it will fly off your
racket far to the left. In order to counter the spin,
touch the left side of the ball.
No-Spin Serve Return
Against these serves, float the ball controlled over
the net with a steady chop.
Topspin Serve Return
Using a controlled stroke, contact the ball with a
relaxed grip and a 60 degree racket angle.
Lefty Sidespin Serve Anywhere
Be ready to adjust in-and-out as well as side-to-side
for these very spinny left sidespin serves.
