Re: Kicker Help?

We have come up with a design using surgical tubing included in the kit that is able to get the ball over the hump easily when a wedge is added to the end of the kicker. In one of our tests, we fired it after school down an empty hall way to see how far it would go, and it hit the ceiling almost knocking down a tile. It seams that noone has mensioned puting a wedge at the end of their kicker, and I think that is why you are not getting the lift to get over the hump. you have plenty of power, but you need lift to fly over the hump, or topspin to roll over it
