I received our teams case of balls we ordered from SportFun today.
Upon inflating them, they all turned oval shaped! I inflated them to
13 inches across the seam as recommended in the manual. Most
are 13 inches by 16 inches in size. Because they are so oddly
sized they bounce very unpredictibly.

Perhaps they should be inflated to 2 feet to stretch out, then deflated
to the correct size? These are rather poor quality goods in my
opinion!!! Is anyone else having the same problem?

Good Luck

I was wondering about that, but the balls are supposed to be 13' in diameter across the seam, and 14' in diameter perpendicular to the seam. It is going to be difficult to inflate them to the right diameters
