Would this work better if the magnet was not spherical? It seems like those magnets were not nearly as strong as the others.

I think the shape is likely unimportant, but the size is certainly. The sphere magnet is the same grade as the larger ones, but with increasing size the total strength increases faster than the mass of the magnet. So a larger magnet might have a better chance of slowing than for a smaller one.
