Re: Best Way to Shoot the Balls??
Just a random thought about this whole barrel getting the ball to spin discussion. Is a barrel really necessary? If you look at a pitching machine, once the ball goes through the one or two wheels that propel it foreward, it doesn't go through anything else. I understand that a barrel would perhaps put a corkscrew spin on the ball, thus making it more accurate, but when the wheel(s) make contact with the ball, wouldn't it negate any spin that was there before? And if you are left with just the spin that the wheel(s) produce on the ball, isn't that a constant spin that you can factor in when you aim you shooter? That's just my two cents.
