Re: ball dumpers/throwers types

We finished building our trailer today... if you hit that big centre post with a fairly flat or downwards trajectory and a bit of backspin... it looks like you should score every time.

We've had success shooting the balls 6 to 10 feet just by spinning up an old 8" wheel on a lathe and either dropping the orbit ball on it, or compressing the ball between the wheel and a sheet of plywood.

So I'm thinking one ball at a time, but reasonably rapid fire, similar to 2006.

Jason
