Re: Discs Bounce Out of Goals

I agree this is an issue and also agree we wont see anything change on it.

I'd recommend lowering the speed of your shooter and going for closer shots.

Good post to bring to everyone's attention though.

Hmmm, now we have to spend more $ to buy chains for testing.

Sounds like an argument in favor of floor pickup

We are experiencing this issue with relatively close shots, in and around the pyramid. We have found closer shots at a higher angle are even more of a problem.

Re: Discs Bounce Out of Goals

Are you going straight on towards the goals or at an angle?

We found the more speed and spin on the disc increased this issue.

If a linear shooter:
Try adding a flywheel or motorized wheel to the opposite side of your shooter wheels.

We did this and got a repeatable shot with less spin.
