This problem seems to be pretty ubiquitous among teams. If 67 is consistently scoring 3-4, I'd love to see how they coped with this issue.
We are not completely consistent... at a competition... yet. The biggest problem is as you've described. The trick to getting around this is to bounce the balls on the ground somewhere before the goal because they go in far more consistently at lower speeds and/or rolling.
