Re: Balls bouncing out of goal

More and more I'm becoming a big Dave fan CD won't let me give him any more rep points though, lol. Back on topic, Dave is absolutely right. Getting upset because you didn't fully understand the challenge of making 3-pt goals isn't going to help your team solve the problem. Our little tiny team quickly realized that there were many variables inherent in scoring high that we probably would not be able to overcome. Shooting the balls in the right direction is the LEAST difficult part of the problem. The downward angled goal looks enticingly easy to score in. As it turns out, it makes it a little easier for the balls to come back out. We opted to concentrate on shooting low, the logic being that we could make 4 1 pointers faster than 1 3 pointer. I have a lot of admiration for the teams shooting high. Just keep working the problem. Those chains are probably staying there so figure out how to make the balls stay in and quit wasting time shaking your fist at them. Reduce shooter speed, change ball spin (really at 12m/s spin doesn't have much effect on trajectory, but with high friction poof balls, spin seems to have a large effect on surface interaction), anyone thought of side spin?, change trajectory, do something to score more reliably! But please wait until after your match against our alliance to fix it!
