A direct drive from the 2.5" CIM is more than enough speed to get you more than your 6ft max distance with a 6" wheel.

But if your system needs alot of torque a direct drive CIM may not cut it. Attached directly to a 6" wheel I think it would get you much further (20 feet or more), but if you don't want that distance it helps to gear down and limit your distance but be able to fire balls at an even higher rate.
