I don't have any math to back myself up but 6 years of playing dodgeball with 6-8 year old kids at a summer camp tells me that even at low speeds drag effects the trajectory of a foam ball. I am sure that people involved in 2006 would back up this anecdotal evidence.
throwing a dodgeball as hard as you can is much faster than shooting from the key. Also, I think we can agree that the density of this year's ball is much higher than a dodgeball.
