We struggled a bit with our shooter trying to figure this out and ended up fastening the wire bundle at the top of the shooter hood near the center of rotation. The bundle only needs to allow for some twist at that point and you have to prevent rotation to where the ball would be shooting through the bundle-- or at least prevent shooting at that point.
