Re: Ball collector Materiel
We chose a pool noodle with some simple "stuff" on it, since it wasnt as rigid as pvc with a sticky material. A hard roller was worse, IMO, because it caused the ball to bounce at times and fall out of place.
We did two major additions that now allow us to move full speed forward and back and never lose the ball.
I dont know what 148 did (doesnt appear to have spin), and its not apparent how effective they are moving backwards (not that they need to or not).
But for us, having the ball spin better was highly effective for us.
In summary, we have only one point of friction (relatively speaking) preventing the ball from spinning.....i.e. the carpet.
