Re: Ball Pitcher Hood Design
In our experience you want to have a single point of contact of wheel to ball for max distance on a single wheel shooter.
A curved hood will increase contact and you would think impart more distance into the ball but what it does is increase spin and actually reduce distance.
The last thing you want touching the ball is the wheel, any deflection after that will reduce accuracy.
