Sick picture!

The best ones from 2006 and 2009 were 2 wheels mounted vertically, one on top of the other. This way any difference in speed between the two wheels will result in back or forward spin, not slicing from one side to another. Having 2 wheels horizontally takes away any potential of backspin, which is what you want in this game, as back spin will help the ball bounce "down" into the basket off the backboard as opposed to the rebound bouncing too far. The most consistent (more important that "accuracy") throwers are single wheeled throwers or double wheeled mounted vertically.
