Discs Bounce Out of Goals

Has anyone else tested shooting into the pyramid goals?

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.

We were shooting at a pretty straight angle. If we are going to try to shoot them in match, we'll probably have to move closer to the goal, and decrease the speed.
