Can you provide a link to the wheel you're using? An '8" aluminum plaction wheel" isn't a real thing.

That's not a plaction wheel

Plaction is a portmanteau of plastic and traction.

Re: Full Court Shooting: Over 80ft total distance

All terms aside, the wheel WileyB-J is referring to (http://www.andymark.com/product-p/am-0133wa.htm) is what we're using. Oh, and I'm a girl!

Re: Full Court Shooting: Over 80ft total distance

This is alot like using a jackhammer to hammer a nail.
Your extra distance isn't worth much if the Frisbee veers off every time.

Still, it's cool to see those Frisbee's being shot with so much power.
