Re: Ball Launcher

We sent the game ball through a 2 wheel volley ball launcher several times. It has a wide flat wheel that was squeezing the ball down less than 1" as it tossed it. It was really consistent in distance, spin, etc. with multiple throws aimed in the same spot. 'Nothing scientific so no real data for you here, but there are a couple of videos.
