Triangle Table Tennis December 2017 News and Happenings
We know, we know, we’re a little early, but who can blame us? We have so much to tell you!
This newsletter is the last email you’ll receive from us this month, so you’ll find it all in this one source — a quick overview of recent news as well as upcoming tournaments and programs, including next weekend’sUSATT 2-star sanctioned2017 Triangle December Open Tournament, more Tournaments through February 2018, membership changes, Leagues, and Group Lessons.
Changes on the horizon for club membership
Since we opened our doors 3 1/2 years ago, we have watched our tournaments, programs, and membership grow. There aren’t many places in the US where you can witness some of the strongest youth players in the country develop their games on a daily basis, or watch US Open and National Champions compete from just a few feet away. However, as we have have grown, so too have our costs. After much deliberation, we have decided to raise our membership rates for the first time starting January 1st, 2018. This means all new memberships and renewals that take place after December 31st, 2017 will be subject to the new rates. However, Activation Fees have actually gone down, making it easier to start or reactivate a membership. You can view the new membership rates here.If you have any questions about anything, please contact our management team at 919-388-0272 or manager@triangletabletennis.com. We thank you for your understanding as we continue to help grow the sport we love both locally and nationally.

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.
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!
For owners of models other than Prime:
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.
