Verifications
In the order: we start with what does not require anything to disassemble. Check as you go, the list is kept in this browser.
Go loose, climb by quarter turn by pulling five balls at each step, 25 m or more. The right setting: a path that runs straight and then barely rises at the end of the race.
Without toolsA ball too heavy for power doesn't get enough effect. The FPS (definition) / Joule (definition) calculator connects speed, weight and energy.
Without toolsIn the chronograph, on a series of ten shots. A decrease from previous measurements refers to the power plug.
Simple toolsTools: ChronographA glossy or hardened fuck no longer gives effect. Clean it with isopropyl alcohol; If it stays smooth and hard, replace it.
