If possible, please send me screenshots or video recordings of the issue.
The controller is much lighter than a real-life racket and has a lower center of gravity.
The SolidSlime adapter is designed to simulate a real-life racket in almost every aspect. This means if a player is already used to the controller, it may take some time (from days to weeks) to adjust to the adapter.
Additionally, players accustomed to the controller may develop incorrect techniques that aren’t compatible with the adapter or real-life table tennis. For example, they might rely on flicking their wrists to swing the racket instead of using proper body rotation. Check the “RESOURCES” section for more tips on this.
If you’d still like to reduce the weight of the VR racket, consider using lithium AAA batteries (which can save 8–10g) along with AAA-to-AA battery adapters to fit them in the controller.
This is a common issue for players who are used to the controller and have just started using the adapter.
The reason is simple: the weight and weight distribution are very different between the bare controller and the adapter. Because of this, you’ll need to adjust your swing speed and timing. This adjustment isn’t just mental—it also takes time for your muscle memory to adapt.
In other words, it may take a few weeks to fully get used to the adapter. Until then:
Swing a little slower than you normally would.
Focus on clean contact with the ball.
Avoid ranked matches while adjusting.
At SolidSlime, we prioritize tracking quality above all else in our adapter designs. Many top Eleven Table Tennis players use our adapter without issues, so this problem shouldn’t occur under normal circumstances.
However, here are a few possible reasons why it might happen:
Incorrect Grip
If the adapter is held improperly, the headset’s cameras may lose sight of the controller’s tracking LEDs.
Solution: Refer to the product page photos for the correct grip.
Excessive Backswing
A long forehand pre-swing that stays behind your body for too long can cause tracking loss.
Solution: Shorten your backswing slightly to maintain tracking.
Low or Loose Battery
Weak or unstable battery power can disrupt controller tracking.
Solution: Ensure the battery is fully charged and securely seated.
Faulty Battery Spring
If the spring inside the controller is damaged, it may fail to maintain proper battery contact.
Solution: Check the spring tension or replace the controller if necessary.
