I set up my own ball-return system with some cardboard, duct tape, and a bing bong table. it's not much to look at but it works great, and my accuracy has gone through the roof! Only problem is I need to make a new cup-holding frame to account for reforms. But my 6-cup formation skills are solid (more video to come) http://www.duncancarroll.com/ball-return.html Duncan

Travis the formatting is messed up on this page so I can't read everything that you said. But I think that my setup allows me to practice a lot faster than otherwise. When you can just stand there and throw balls over and over again.. I throw like 40 balls in a minute, and playing beer pong I only throw 2. That means that for 2 hours of straight pongshot I would need to play 80 hours of beer pong to throw as many balls.

You're still sharing yoru balls and cups with 3 other people. You just get to throw more often when they roll back automatically. It's not the end all be all, I agree. You still need to practice 2v2. But believe me when I say it helps , A LOT. I crush cups a lot more since I started using this thing.
