	~~Also fairly common is~~ the construction of a hop-up device. These consist of a high-friction object on the top of the [[barrel]] which catches and puts a back spin on the ball. This backspin generates lift via the magnus effect, <i>greatly</i> extending the range of a golf ball. Also, it improves [[spudgun accuracy\|accuracy]], because instead of a spin in a random direction pushing the golf ball off course, you have a consistent back spin.
			As golf balls are spherical, the construction of a hop-up device is common. These consist of a high-friction object on the top of the [[barrel]] which catches and puts a back spin on the ball. This backspin generates lift via the magnus effect, <i>greatly</i> extending the range of a golf ball. Also, it improves [[spudgun accuracy\|accuracy]], because instead of a spin in a random direction pushing the golf ball off course, you have a consistent back spin.

	<b>Mantle removal:</b> By removing the outer covering (mantle) of the ~~golfball~~, you reduce the diameter which allows you to put it in 1.5" sch 40 pipe. This is best done with a chisel or such tool. However, this removes the dimples; they increase the magnus effect (responsible for lift) and decrease the drag. This means that the ball won't go as far.		<b>Mantle removal:</b> By removing the outer covering (mantle) of the golf ball, you reduce the diameter which allows you to put it in 1.5" sch 40 pipe.
