We did some empirical testing with this method, and ruled it out pretty quickly. With a large diameter cylinder, you get the most force, but it takes a lot of air to fill the cylinder, so the speed is way too slow. We got much better speed with small diameter cylinders, but the force was only enough to push the ball about 4 feet.
