By decent speed, do you mean balls/second or the time it takes for the balls to get from the shooter to the trailer? (Line drives sure would be fun to watch!) We are firing at about 4 balls/second.

Decent speed by the air time on the ball, the time we are going up the loader is going to be increased, its way to slow,
