The problem with pneumatics is that the standard solenoids restrict the air flow so that any piston with enough energy to launch the ball moves way too slowly.
One way around this is to buy different solenoids, Mcmaster has some models that have a flow coefficient three times bigger than the stuff on Andymark.
Another solution is to just use multiple smaller pistons.
