So to answer the percent spin difference question...we "spin" the upper "wheels" at zero speed (it's just a couple pieces of metal, not wheels). and spin the lower wheel at about 3500-4000 rpm. |
Have you guys been able to test with a polycarbonate backboard like the actual field will have? We haven't shot at wooden backboard so I not sure how it compares to our polycarbonate one. From the testing we've conducted it looks to have a different bounce characteristic than shown in your video
