Yeah, it definitely would. I used to play with these things for like dodge-ball and stuff back in elementary school. It would change weight, compression rate, contact points, etc. A lot of the same stuff that was dealt with in the year 2012, Rebound Rumble. The balls in 2012 were very inconsistent with densities, but the were all higher density foams than these balls. I think these will have more of an issue with being beat up this year, but it'll be interesting to see how manipulators handle them. Just wish they were a bit cheaper than 35 dollars a pop.
Back to your point, my main point is also, there is a lot more to shooting than compression, but that's what testing is for.
