Re: Kicker Help?

Our team has designed several that work well with surgical tubing. I'm not sure the force we use, but it isn't much. We are, however, able to launch a ball quite some distance. You might be wasting lots of energy in your release. Also, the way that the kicker connects with the ball is important. We used a wedge to hit the ball causing it to go in more of a diagonal arc.
