Go to Post Fame is a funny thing, you can do nothing and get it, and do everything and get none. For me, it's not fame, but infamy that follows me. - Joe Matt [more]

We also numbered the balls in our lab. Each ball has a different level of "squish" when tested with a 12-pound weight and a different diameter. Each ball generally shoots consistently itself, though when compared against other balls the shots are significantly less consistent.

We did manage to get our shooter up to 85%-ish shooting layups off the backboard using a one-wheel shooter from close range.
