Inconsistent Balls

[ksafin]

Balls will be different densities at the competition too. You have to design around this. We found that the newer, harder balls go further, and the more used, squishier balls don't go as far.

So, you have a window of shooting where the newer balls go further, hit the backboard and get in, and from the same distance and setup, the older balls will go straight into the hoop.

See what I mean? You can get them both in, but the one going further will rebound from the backboard while one dunks.

We have noticed the same problem, the balls that are warn out more tend not to shoot as well as newer ones. We fixed the problem by keeping them away from the freshman and making sure people do not step on them.

There have been several post about the balls being inconsistent. All the balls will be different no matter if they are new, old, damaged, or spotless. So you are going to have to make your shorter some how take the inconsistency out of the equation.
