Re: Poof balls MUCH easier to compress over time

We've seen some interesting trajectory differences between new balls and an (ab)used ball. Could be related to compressibility... They fly quite differently - should make for more fun as the season progresses!

Unless FIRST supplies new balls for all regionals, I expect that teams who shoot balls will find that what works at early regionals won't necessarily work later in the season (or vice versa) - because of wear and tear on the balls. Wonder if there are differences between manufacturing lots, too...
