Yeah. We used a pretty heavy custom wheel for our shooter (modeled off our 2006 shooter). I noticed we really need to be careful of the timing we shoot at, or else the balls don't go nearly far enough. Again, we're working on it for later in the season, but it kind of hurt us at FLR. Especially before we got our shooting to be somewhat accurate.
