I was thinking more vertical like most were in 09 (poofs, ect) but just with guides inside. Maybe I'll make a terrible paint drawing in a bit.

I think Skyehawk saw what I was trying to get out, and I agree with what he had to say

I think we are on the same page here,
What would happen if you had the / \ but ran the center belts faster (different sized pulleys) to evacuate the middle and let the guides migrate the outside balls into the faster moving middle? Someone PLEASE prototype this. :)

This is the concept we are planning to use, modeled at 1/3 scale with gamepieces that are affordable. This spits balls out into two streams, but if you make half of the hopper it should shoot balls out into one stream reliably.

Great minds think alike! We've done an extensive amount of scale modeling using the bad boys below. 2.97:1 scale with really similar materials and the exact same hole pattern!

IIRC they are just practice golf balls. Available at your local Sporting Goods store, or Amazon
