Re: Need Advice! - Shooter is not performing as expected

24,000 is the @ the speed of a router, and faster than a CD spins in a Drive. Mythbusters has proof of them shattering a CD at those speeds. A CD is far more balanced that any of COTS wheels you can buy.

As stated those speeds do little since the inertia of a still Frisbee is too great to be over come in such a short distance by anything spinning 24,000. There will always be slip. The only way you could take advantage of something that fast is is you had multiple stages to accelerate the Frisbee to some speed before getting to a 24,000 wheel.
