Keep in mind though, that the balls are inflated to SIZE not pressure. We've had about 40% from our HP, and much better luck with the black ball. It's softer and rounder for some odd reason. We also have the problem of the 'bounce out' of the goal, but we've found that if you get the right spin on the ball, it helps tremendously. Who knows how anyone will fair in comp. though, because I remember the balls in '98 being so much different at the comps because of the weather and FIRST specs than our balls back home. No matter how good your HP is...much is still left up to chance.
