Re: 2495 driving, kicking, and....going-over-bumpifying??

I'm curious - does the kicker pass outside your frame perimeter as it spins?

That's an awesome kicker! How well can you range the kicks by varying the speed?

Re: 2495 driving, kicking, and....going-over-bumpifying??

We have a similar kicker that we plan on replacing at Trenton. We quickly found that the downside of kickers like this is that variable distancing is less effective than you would think when purely based on changing RPMs, it is not a very consistent system, and the approach speed of the ball is what cause variability in the function of the kicker.

In theory its the simplest thing you can make for a quick kicker. But, at least in our testing and mechanism, it is not very reliable/consistent. But perhaps your results were far better than ours.
