Wheel Types: What's best, and why?
Hey all.
I don't know if I missed it, but I didn't see a thread specifically made to address wheel types and their effect on shooters. I've seen threads for single wheels (pneumatic, etc) but not to bring a whole discussion to it.
What type of wheels seem to work best? (Pneumatic, performance w/ tread, treaded KOP wheels (2012 or 2013), 2008 KOP wheels (gray rigid ones) or something else?
Also, why do you think this is?
On our side, the 2008 KOP wheel seems to be delivering sad results. I've seen teams use the 2012/13 KOP wheels with great success, and I'm having trouble figuring out why.
We thought 2008 ones worked poorly because they were rigid and not compressible - however, the 2012/13 ones are rigid as well, yet seem to work well on a variety of launchers.
Thoughts?
