WAB Club Feature: Spin & Smash Table Tennis & Ping Pong Club
Central Ohio is home to Spin & Smash, a table tennis club that is part ping pong social club and part table tennis training center. The club features eleven Butterfly tables and there are leagues, classes, clinics, and private coaching. The club is open 12 hours Mon-Sat day (with shorter hours on Sundays).
In addition to regular club events, Spin & Smash also runs sanctioned tournaments such as the upcoming Spring Open, a 2-star event with $2100 in cash prizes which will be held April 6-9.
The club has also been selected as the host for the regional Hopes Camp and Tournament this April. The Hopes Program is a series of regional, national and international camps and competitions sponsored by the ITTF and USATT that are designed to spark motivation and interest for young athletes.

One thing that is different about this club is that Spin & Smash have incorporated music into the facility (even live music on Saturday nights) to cater not just to hard core players, but also to those looking to have some fun. The club is one where coaching is possible both for the Olympic style of the sport as well as for the “retro” styles of hardbat and sandpaper – and even basement ping pong.
As they say – However You Spin or Smash It — this is the club for you.

The Google Sheets image takes you to a spreadsheet that gives the settings for each drill. While these won’t be the exact settings for the Control Panel on your robot, they will give you an idea of where to start, and you’ll need to adjust from there. At the bottom, we’ve included the ranges and defaults for the setting on a Prime so you can compare these to the ranges and defaults on your own robot. In general, default settings should give you a similar ball regardless of what model you have. If a drill has a change of speed, spin, or trajectory, you will be unable to replicate that drill on a Basic or Start model.
Amicus Prime owners, save these drills to your device via the following steps:
Click the Drill image below to download the file to your tablet, cell phone or other device that has the Amicus app on it.
Open that file and a window will appear in the Amicus app to confirm you want to import those drills. Tap Import to add the drills to the Exercise List.
You can then play those drills just like any other drill in the Exercise List.
Tip – After importing the drills from a Fethomania Session, tap on the drill description to reveal Stefan’s technique pointers for that drill!
Amicus Prime owners, if you want a video of a Fethomania drill, you will need to manually link the video for a particular Fethomania drill with the following steps:
Download the video to the device that contains the Amicus app (probably to the Downloads folder).
Open the Amicus app on that device.
Select the matching drill in the Exercise List.
Tap on the Drill Description. The Set Exercise Properties popup window will appear.
Tap on Select Video button at the bottom of that window. Then navigate to where the video is located in the file directory and select that video.
Tap Save at bottom right of the popup window, Save at the top right of the main window, then Save in the resulting popup window.
Tap the Drill Description again and the title of the video should now appear in parentheses after Select Video.
To play the video, tap the Play Video button on the Play Exercise screen.
