Where's the 15 balls/second speed given? As far as I can tell, neither the 5 or 15 balls/second is given in the manual (so I'm hesitant to really count on either)... The only places I heard the 5 balls/second speed given were in the live broadcast and in the Boiler Field Tour video (which says 4-5 balls/second).
