Re: Consistent shooter
Alright, lets get this thread back on track....

I agree with Ether's original rough sorting of shooter types. Additionally, waiting for the ball to settle in your shooter varies by design (SS style being the best I've seen) and effects your in game shot percentage by giving defences extra time to close in.

For teams using surgical tubing, what have you done to improve consistency? I built a surgical tubing catapult in 2008 and it was never exactly the same between matches. This didn't matter much when throwing a ball over a bar. Does the variation come into play when aiming for a goal?
