Actually it's a bad example as nearly no one did wheeled shooters with Aerial Assist because the ball were so large. A wheeled shooter needs go around at least 2 side of a ball, that's hard to do safely when the ball barely fit in the frame perimeter and anything outside of the frame perimeter is fair game to hit.
