From our testing, this was the biggest culprit leading to shot variability. There were hardly any tweeks needed to the shooter after we got balls feeding consistently and made sure every guide/support/contact point for the ball was very rigid.
Our shooter is a similar configuration to yours, but with smaller 4" wheels (smaller wheels = smaller support structure needed = easier to make lightweight and stiff). We don't have any experience with the single wheeled shooters for this year, but I'm sure the above advice still applies.
