I know our driver stayed in our 17fps high gear 90% of the match, if not more.

Agreed. I could probably count the number of times we used low gear in 2011 on one hand. Low gear is one of those things that is rarely needed in everyday match play. However, when we need it, we really need it. You can probably make low gear faster than 3.6 ft/sec, just make sure it's traction limited.

The issue here is he's stuck with the AM stock gearing. So he can't independantly vary the speeds.

However, I do feel 13.5s is a bit slow for most games, 15-16 is much nicer.
