There is a big difference between me throwing a traditional dodgeball (playground ball) as hard as I can and a 6 or 7 year old throwing a foam ball (simmilar in density to this years ball) as hard as he can (as described in my anecdote). The latter I am sure is much closer to the speeds we will be seeing in this game, and again I have observed the effects of drag on the ball.
