That makes me nervous. 5254 and 20 haven't tested with worn balls yet because both teams have only one ball right now.
If I was to guess, it was somewhere around 50 shots. We dialed in the prototype shooter until it worked with one ball, then we tried another ball, which flew completely over the goal.

The foam directly under the skin "crumples" slightly after many shots. You can feel the difference when you squish them by hand.
