In 2006 we prototyped a shooter using wheels similar to AM's Pneumatic and could not find a way to make them play well with poof balls. It seems that any wheel with a texture to it will start to chunk the ball with too much compression or if it hits the wrong way. Try swapping in some 2010 kit wheels or 8" Colsons (going to be heavy) and see what kind of results those wheels get you.
