Re: Ball Pitcher Hood Design
No, think about it the ball is round and spins on contact with the chute. While it stays in contact with the chute it will gain a little velocity but it what it really gains is a lot more spin.
We learned of this effect from our Luncay shooter. We adapted it for use with this ball and could only shoot about 15 feet and could never get the amount of elevation required to make a basket from more than 10 feet. We remover the shoot and gave the shooter a single point of contact and started shooting 30 feet or about 20 feet over 98"
