but they don't fly straight. Their CG is up to 1" off center... so you get some "wobble" mid-flight.

This is a product of the manufacturing process, when the ball is molded the side of the ball that is facing down ends up being more dense than the top part. Lower quality balls see this to a greater extent than higher quality (i.e. NERF). Depending on the manufacturer there may also be a had spot there the tube used for injecting the foam was inserted, this can also throw off the balance. All that said I haven't looked at these balls in person so I can't tell you what is actually causing it, I just know that these are concerns addressed when deciding on a manufacturing process for foam balls.
Who knew co-opping at a toy company would teach me something.
