Re: Ball collector Materiel

For those of you who are getting backspin on the ball:
1) Are you pinching the ball between the roller and floor, or just getting approximately simultaneous contact on the roller, backstop and floor without significant interference fit (pinch)?
2) If you are not pinching the ball, how do your magnets work with high speed pickup? Does the ball bounce out?
3) It sounds like you should be able to back up rapidly without losing the ball. How well does that work for you?
