This can get extremely interesting seeing that by the end of build season our balls will be well worn whereas at competition they will be brand new!

We also numbered the balls in our lab. Each ball has a different level of "squish" when tested with a 12-pound weight and a different diameter. Each ball generally shoots consistently itself, though when compared against other balls the shots are significantly less consistent.
We did manage to get our shooter up to 85%-ish shooting layups off the backboard using a one-wheel shooter from close range.
