Triangle Table Tennis: September 2017 News and Happenings
School is just starting again, but we are in full-swing! We have 3 (!) tournaments this month, 2 of which are open for registration, as well as a HUGE announcement!
As always, this newsletter is the only email you’ll receive from us this month, so it has it all — a quick overview of recent news as well as upcoming tournaments and programs, including next weekend’s USATT 2-star sanctioned 2017 Triangle September Open Tournament, the rest of our Tournaments through the end of 2017, and Group Lessons.
We are proud to announce that we will be hosting the
USATT National Team Super Camp 2017!
We are lucky enough to be hosting our second USATT National Team event this year from December 26th to January 2nd. This will be a high-performance camp for the National Team, with invitation criteria for additional players and coaches coming directly from USATT. Triangle Table Tennis is thrilled to host the event for USATT, and eager to show how well we can support the training needs of the National Team as it prepares for future Olympic Games.

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.
