we noticed that the balls were more inflated than we expected at auburn mountain view during week 1 and upon further testing found problems similar to the ones you describe. We then altered our intake by moving the roller up about an inch to decrease ball compression and avoided problems at glacier peak. Though the balls may be over inflated they have been consistent at PNW event
