Consider the power consumption. The balls are pretty light, but trying to pull several up from the bottom of your hopper with enough speed to propel them 5+ feet in the air, all using the same mechanism is going to be challenging.
I was more thinking along the lines of having a drum after the loading conveyor. The conveyor would be low speed used for loading the hopper and transporting the balls up to the high speed shooting drum.
