The issue is repeatability: Can you make the ball go to the same place each time? Sounds like it is time for a prototype and some experiments.

I doubt it, in airsoft there's a mechanism called a "hop up" which pushes down on the bb to generate rotation which then forces the bb to ride the top of the barrel. This is what generates the accuracy of the shot. The softness of the BOULDER would interfere with this or similar mechanism.

Then again, it's a large enough goal from close enough away that it might not matter.
