It is really hard to know exactly the problem with this little of information. I have also not spent as much time with the 5 inch wheels, and have never actually seen a very good one.
I would maybe recommend trying to optimize your thrower for a mid or close shot rather than the far by maybe spacing your wheels out similar to what we have done. You should still be fine with full court shots.
I think the problem with 5 in wheels may be the tread. It reduces the surface area that can make contact with the ball. I don’t know though.
Good luck!
It is a similar design to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jr9q-YZJi1c

It sounds like you need to reduce your compression slightly if possible.

how much compression do you guys do to the ball?
At the competition last Saturday, we got 258 for programmers skills and won the competition with a final score of 252 to 110. I will get finals videos and skills videos uploaded later today. We high lifted too.
