60hz frame rate is fine with 640 X 480 as long as nothing else is on that root hub.


On the h-cam picture is looks like the light beam over the sensor is centered off the sensor.
Make sure the light beam center is where the ball tee is. Also hard to see a beam for the ball capture?

On the V-cam you should not have the offset slider all the way to the max when the ball gray scale's are nearly all the way to minimum
You should post a capture where you get a ball steak on.
