Now I can say a few things :-)

Looks like a cim powering that wheel? Some advice on that design.

1. you are totally defendant on RPM's to determine the velocity of the ball. A lot of the inaccurate shots you made was because the wheel had not reached max speed (I could tell by the sound of it).
2. Trying rotating your hood back about 15-20 degrees. You will have more than enough power to make a shot and the arch will make the target area "bigger" for your ball.

thanks for sharing :-)
