PingPoint: A Smarter Way to Keep Score in Table Tennis

Pong Home is stepping onto the table with PingPoint. As part of a new hands on partnership, PingPoint sent Pong Home a test kit to try its scorekeeping app in real games, on our own table, with our own camera rolling. Here is the unboxing, a look at the game we played with PingPoint keeping score, and where this goes from here.

Why We Partnered With PingPoint

Pong Home has already published an independent PingPoint review based on the platform's public features and pricing. This partnership takes that a step further. Instead of only reading about smartwatch scoring, the PingPoint button, and match analytics, we wanted to put the app in our hands and score an actual match with it, on camera, for the community.

PingPoint is a table tennis scorekeeper and analytics platform built around one idea: turn every game into data and every match into progress. Track scores in real time, analyze performance, connect with players nearby, and climb the global leaderboard, all from a smartwatch, a physical PingPoint button, or the mobile app. You can see the full platform at pingpoint.pro.

Unboxing the PingPoint Test Kit

The first step was simple: open the box. PingPoint shipped Pong Home a test kit built around the physical PingPoint button, the small tap sensor that lets players log points without needing a smartwatch. Below is our short unboxing clip showing what came in the kit and our first impressions straight out of the box.

The button itself is compact enough to sit right on the edge of the table or clip onto a wrist, which matches what PingPoint describes on its own site: attach the button to the table, or wear it, and tap to log a point without breaking focus on the rally.

Putting PingPoint to the Test on Court

Unboxing app is one thing. Using it mid rally, at match pace, is the real test. We set up the PingPoint button courtside and played a full game with the PingPoint app tracking the score live in the background, updating point by point as the rally count climbed. Here is that game in action.

What This Partnership Means for Pong Home Readers

Pong Home is not paid to say PingPoint is good. What this partnership gives us is early, hands on access to the app, so future coverage on the Insights hub can speak from actual use rather than a spec sheet alone. Expect more footage and follow up notes as we log more matches with the kit, including how the button holds up over repeated sessions and how the app's analytics look once there is a real match history behind them.

If you want the full breakdown of PingPoint's features, pricing tiers, and who the platform suits best, our standalone PingPoint review covers that in depth. If you are also comparing equipment while you are at it, our Gear Index and Marketplace are good next stops.
