Re: Need Advice! - Shooter is not performing as expected

Make sure there is sufficient friction between your wheels, the surface the Frisbee rotates against and the Frisbee.

Hard wheels may not produce the friction needed to spin the Frisbee, we riveted our hard wheels with a traction material and that helped a lot (that's why the pneumatic wheels work well).

The Frisbee needs both force and spin to fly properly.
