Re: Balls bouncing out of goal

In the first weeks I was convinced that back spin would be best. After our shooter proto type was finished, the students spent hours testing it and came to the conclusion that top spin was best. The magic angle works with top spin but, not with back spin. And the balls seem to stay in with top spin. It's that poofy ball dynamics thing. They just will not behave the way you want them to.
