Re: Amount of Ball Squeeze

working with our prototype last weekend, I found the smallest change in pressure at the right point really affected the behavior of the ball. Pushing on the lexan hood with my thumb at about 45 degrees angle was enough to go from the 2pt hoop to the 3pt hoop.

How long the ball stays compressed and in contact with the wheel and the contact with the hood as it is leaving the shooter also affects the angle of the shot.

Prototyping the shooter was certainly worth the effort we put into it.
