Whoops, got it backwards. Sorry about that!

Very little wear, and very little use. We've tossed it around and bounced it by hand a bit. We also took it outside to test some crude shooter schemes (see-saw using a 2x4). After a few minutes in the cold (~20 deg F), it had shrunk noticeably, with the cover becoming wrinkled. Bringing it back inside restored the ball to size.

I think wilsonmw04 is correct in suspecting that the change in ball shape may be due to the cover of the ball and the shrinking/expanding it went through. As the ball's volume changes, the cover gets more worn and stretched.
