What It Is
An unusual launcher with a flip-out, crosshair-shaped guide that can be locked at different angles relative to the grip, intended to make it easier to bank a launch off the stadium's curve for a "Sliding Shoot" (the maneuver the launcher takes its name from). In practice it offers only two real locking positions, set via a side button linked to a rear lever, and is generally regarded as more awkward to use than a plain EZShooter for no gain in power.
How It Launches
10-tooth gear; about 6.5 rotations with the Dragon Winder, 5.5-5.75 with the Spring Winder, 4.5-5 with the Regular Winder; right spin, no stronger than a standard EZShooter despite the angling gimmick.
Rotation counts are given with the winder they were measured with; a different winder gives a different figure.
What It Fits
Uses the Dragon Winder, Spring Winder, or Regular Winder (rotation count varies by winder used).
Spin and gear teeth are given only where they are stated outright; the table leaves a figure blank rather than infer one.
