Nice eye! Its just an aluminum disk, no real measurements thus far.

And how many balls can you feed though it before it slows down significantly?

It takes around 3 seconds, and you can feed at least three with the same trajectory (haven't been able to test more!).

Nice job.

The problem with two sets is the inconsistency in speed/entry for the balls entering the shooter.

A good 30 something feet.
