Bought new bearings and rollers from Bob Roberts for my Millipede. Much improved. Like butta in every direction except for right and left. My guess is the rollers and ball are so smooth, that the rollers "slip" when moved in either direction. On screen, the shooter's moves are choppy. Takes me about 2+ rolls to get to the entire width of the screen.

I saw a similar post and someone used fine sandpaper on the rollers to create some traction.

......or is this movement normal (hope not).

Thanks in advance as usual!

often after doing this you need to "break in" the new rollers.

I have found that if you take the ball itself and with a rag and some commit or bar keepers friend cleaner, clean the ball. this will scuff up the ball just a bit and will help the break in period of the new rollers.

I'll give it a try, thanks!
