How much do you plan on compressing them?

By the end of the NJ regional I'd say quite a few balls were fixed with rivets but they still worked fine in our system. We compress balls by about 1/2" to 3/4" in our intake and scoring mechanism. We didn't notice any adverse effects or anything like that.
