The amount a tube is inflated doesn't seem to have as much of an effect on tube throwing as the throw itself. One of our students was able to throw Circles and Squares into the scoring zone with accuracy close to 1676's, but we noticed that the tubes must roll at least 10-15 feet to get into the zone.

It's a risky move.
