Re: Balls getting stuck in hopper

I'm guessing that you are using a gravity feed hopper. one thing that we have found is that no matter how you plan for it, the balls will get stuck. i suggest a agitator mechanism that keeps the balls moving and will not let them get stuck. something as simple as a turning lazy susan that allows the balls to continue to move around.
