Re: Best Way to Shoot the Balls??

I am no engineer and I certainly am not a ballistics expert, so correct me if I am wrong here. . . .
Rifiling works excellently to stabilize the flight of a cylindrical object like a bullet or missile but would it not cause a spherical object like a Poof-Slinky ball to curve? Somehow that doesn't sound like it would be more accurate to me.
