Re: Bore diameter of piston?

I'm not sure of your design, but I'd strongly suggest against directly "punching" the ball with a cylinder if you are trying to clear both bumps (or clear even one bump) if this is what you are thinking about.

A simple surgical tubing pendulum kicker, pulled back by a 1.5" dia pneumatic cylinder (which is what we're using), can kick a ball quite far.
