What motor / RPM are you driving the motor at? What speed variations have you tried? You might see something very similar from New York...
We were messing around with our roller yesterday and we using a drill that outputs about 1000-1500 rpms. We found out that the faster the roller the more backspin it puts on the ball. Therefore causing the ball to come back to the roller causing it to "stick"

We will be using 2 mabuchi's to power our roller.
