Pongbot's CES 2026 Launch: Revolutionizing Tennis Training with Pace S Pro
Tennis training is about to get a high-tech upgrade! Pongbot, an innovative sports-tech company, is set to debut at CES 2026 with a groundbreaking product that will change the way we think about solo tennis practice. Say hello to the Pace S Pro, a tennis training platform that promises to revolutionize the game.
But here's where it gets interesting: Pongbot's approach is a game-changer. Traditional tennis ball machines follow rigid patterns, often leaving players frustrated and out of sync. The Pace S Pro, however, introduces a unique blend of UWB tracking and Recovery Trigger technology, ensuring training sessions adapt to the player's movement and recovery. This means players can train at their own pace and rhythm, no longer chasing the machine.
The secret sauce? UWB tracking, operating at an impressive 100Hz sampling rate, provides sub-10cm positional accuracy. This technology outperforms camera-based systems, which often struggle with stability and lighting conditions. With UWB, the Pace S Pro delivers consistent performance indoors and outdoors, tracking players with unparalleled precision.
And this is the part most players will love: Pongbot's Recovery Trigger technology synchronizes the machine's rhythm with the player's. Instead of pre-set ball patterns, the Pace S Pro adjusts ball delivery based on the player's position and readiness. This enables players to focus on their footwork, timing, and shot execution, aspects that are crucial for match-level performance.
The system is incredibly user-friendly, offering over 564 pre-set drills and customization options for all skill levels. The PongSmart algorithm, trained on data from 100,000+ matches, analyzes player movement and adapts training in real-time. This ensures players see measurable progress with every session.
"We're flipping the script on traditional training methods," says Pongbot's CEO. "The Pace S Pro is designed to adapt to the player, not the other way around. It prepares players for real matches by responding to their unique rhythm."
Pongbot's journey began in 2019 with AI-driven table tennis training systems. Now, they're bringing that success to tennis with the Pace S Pro, backed by 69 R&D patents. The product's popularity is evident, having raised over $2.7 million on Kickstarter and gaining recognition as the #1 Tech & Sports campaign in 2024.
Professional players and coaches are already impressed. ATP doubles star Hendrik Jebens praises the machine's ability to provide consistent, high-quality training, even for top-level players.
Will the Pace S Pro be the future of tennis training? Visit Pongbot at CES 2026 to find out! Media and attendees can experience this cutting-edge technology and witness the potential of intelligent tennis training.
