This assumes, however, that you can get the volume of air to fill the cylinder quickly enough. A 2" cylinder takes a decent amount of time to fill up, given that all the air has to flow through tubing at 60psi. Just because you can achieve 220 lbs of force from a cylinder doesn't mean that you'll be able to deliver enough energy to lift the ball in the air.
