An engineer of another team here in So. Cal says the 30" ball is the same (or maybe similar) to an exercise ball he has. He says that the inflation instructions for that ball said to partially inflate it, and then wait a day before fully inflating it. Could be that the rubber/plastic needs time to relax before it will comfortably stretch to the 30" size.
