This is what we had http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/23042

What we learn is back spin is very useful to keeping the ball going long distance. Flywheel needs to be heavy. This insures very little speed loss when shooting. We had a pneumatics ball stepper. This made sure the next ball did not drop until the wheel had enough time to be at the right speed. We would shoot 9 balls in 7 second with 80 % score rate. This year is much different you have to arc the ball it is not a straight shot.
