This is our final kicker design as seen before in our current chassis. We still have a maximum intrusion of 3'' with the ball. Bumpers are legal size and composition mounted as high as legally possible. All we did was adjust were the ball contacts the kicker and slowed the spin a bit. Best of all we still kick totaly with in our frame perimeter Hope it helps
Actually, if one freezes frame at the 12 second mark they can see a projection of something associated with the kick beyond the frame perimeter, but still within the bumper perimeter
