Inflategate? Deflategate? Whatever it is, the NFL and NBA both inflate to a "feeling" and MLB has a person that rubs each ball with a special mixture of dirt pregame. Not every pro sport ball is the same. Hockey and golf are the few that win in the consistency department.
I don't know how this wouldn't be expected though. If you were around for 2012, think about the difference in stiffness of foam balls. Or 2013 after one team got their shooter on a frisbee it was never the same again. Build tolerance into your design so this isn't an issue and it won't be an issue.
