The ball gets compressed about two and a half inches. We have not tried more than the one lunacy wheel, the smaller wheels are simply be used as flywheels. The compression seems to be only relevant to the friction, which to limit the rotational energy so that more of the total energy goes towards transnational. This gets a straighter shot, one without backspin, allowing us to be very accurate close up.

Looks like you guys were using your wheels for a much more constructive purpose than we were. We just ran ours at ridiculous speeds and let it bounce on the floor while spinning. We regret that, as it was quite dangerous.
