LAS VEGAS, Jan 4, 2026 — Pongbot made its CES debut with the launch of the Pace S Pro, an AI-powered tennis training platform designed to bring match-level realism into solo practice.
Unlike conventional ball machines that rely on fixed patterns and preset timing, the Pace S Pro introduces an adaptive training model that responds directly to player movement. The system waits until a player has returned to a proper recovery position before releasing the next ball, closely mirroring the rhythm of competitive play.
At the core of the Pace S Pro is Ultra-Wideband (UWB) tracking technology, operating at a 100Hz sampling rate with sub-10cm positional accuracy. By eliminating reliance on cameras, the system delivers stable, real-time tracking regardless of lighting conditions, ensuring consistent performance on both indoor and outdoor courts.
This precise positional data enables Pongbot’s proprietary Recovery Trigger technology, allowing the machine to dynamically adjust ball timing, speed, spin, and placement based on player readiness. As a result, players can focus on footwork, shot execution, and timing—areas traditionally difficult to train alone.
Controlled through a mobile application, the Pace S Pro offers more than 564 preset drills and supports fully customized routines for players ranging from beginners to NTRP 7.0. During each session, the PongSmart algorithm—trained on data from over 100,000 real matches—continuously analyzes player movement to optimize training parameters.
Founded in 2019, Pongbot initially developed AI-driven training systems for table tennis before expanding its technology to tennis. The Pace S Pro is backed by 69 R&D patents and has already gained strong traction within the tennis community.
