Re: Optimum Wheels for ball shooter

Our initial prototype we used our spare drive wheels from last season (4" x 1.5" Colson Performas) direct drive by a CIM. We like the grip they provided and how they handled the ball, but we weren't getting the distance we wanted.

We switched to a 6" Kitbot wheel with the same compression and while we got the distance we wanted, we started to markup and damage the ball.

For the actual shooter we have 6" x 1.5" Colson Performas.
