single head basic bouncy ball

[jay22]

could a single head basic bouncy ball machine work? i was hoping to put a double with gumballs and bouncy balls at a basketball facility. they don’t want the gum but would try the bouncy  balls. i’ve never run them in a single before. they’re 27 mm i’d run at 50 cents. i’m guessing if they were gonna sell anywhere, it’d be at a place where the sport is centered around bouncing a ball?

Yes it will work fine. I've done them for years. One thing to consider. Basketball facilities (I'm assuming youth games on multiple courts) may not like bouncy balls being bounced all over the place or ending up rolling out onto a court during a game. Great way to possibly be shown the door. You may consider using 1.1 inch capsules instead. You could use a double and run two different capsule items. I would expect this type of location to be a home run on sales. Congrats on landing it!

thanks man. if i do decide to run a 2 head, do you have any suggestions on a good toy to run next to the bouncy balls? profit margin is key for me.

I run alot of generic mixes. A & A has a good one:

The display card is sold separately.

Look around at other mixes on the site. Lots of good stuff.

A single with 27mm bbs was almost always a hit. Due to the weight and the service frequency, I'd usually use a bb single along with a 4-6 head rack so the rack could focus down other products.
