Triangle Table Tennis End of Year News and Happenings
We hope everyone is having a fun and safe holiday season.
This newsletter is the last email you’ll receive from us this year, 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 month’s USATT 4-star sanctioned2018 Triangle Winter Two-Person Teams Tournament, more Tournaments through March 2018, membership changes, Leagues, and Group Lessons.
Updated Benefits for Club Membership
In our last newsletter, we highlighted that our membership fees were changing as of January 1st, 2018. In addition to the rate changes, membership benefits are also being updated. Starting in the new year, all current Triangle Table Tennis members will be able to apply any applicable membership discount to Private Lessons! We know this is something members have wanted for a long time and we are happy to finally be able to provide it for them. Members will also receive credits that allows them free entry into our Facilitated Group Lesson. The exact number of credits will be determined by the membership duration. In addition, we are working on acquiring software that will streamline many processes for members. The software includes a mobile app, giving members the capability to view coach’s schedules and book private lessons directly from their phone or tablet! Our goal is, and has always been, to provide the best table tennis programs in the best facility in the United States. We work towards this goal every day and thank you for your part in helping us get there. If you have any questions about new membership rates or benefits, you can ask the front desk, call us at 919-388-0272, or email us a manager@triangletabletennis.com.

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.
