We chose a vertical shoote, for two primary reasons.

First: It gives us a backspin, allowing us a greater range, and

Second: With horizontal shooters, if the speed of one wheel/drum is slower than the other, then the ball will have a wicked sidespin. With a vertical design, we didn't have to worry about the sidespin effect, and are getting 8-9 balls out of 10 into the goal.
