Re: Best Intake

I thought Spectrum's (3847) El Toro was pretty effective, as well as 148's.

233's punch was very impressive, it didn't have anything to center it besides a Frisbee, and even when it was off center, it still shot accurately and consistently.

But there have been great bar roller intakes too, the ones that pop into my head are 33's and 254's. 1538 refined this even more to keep pressure and account for variable compressions of the competition balls with the sliding rollers.

Also, not sure what category they go into, but 610's articulated rollers are pretty cool.

I don't see the advantage of a non-roller or pinch setup over a well-built roller system, seems like added complexity for no real benefit.
