Rolling the Rock
Golf is sisyphean...after all we roll the rock! Interesting question...the answer to which I do not know! An added thought related to 4 barrels, as opposed to 3 barrels...I think this is where strength and conditioning becomes front and center factors. There are many machines that cannot handle the added pressure of a fourth accumulator without the power package disintergrating...especially when they have no earthly clue that such things exist!

I work with high school players. I have a 100 pound (after a fully clothed dip in the pool) freshman. His swing looks like sputnik upon re-entry; it does not take much to get his machine to start popping rivets. I have had a little success helping him zero out accumulators for better control. He gets his most playable results with just 2 accumulators. Dad insists that he learn to bust it first...a traditional approach for some. I told him that it was just a matter of adding a power source when his paper mache like frame can handle it! Just like the traditional tenet of swinging at 85% of max, the fourth barrell is perhaps better for wide open spaces distance freak drives!
