Re: Different Types of Balls?
Our experience had to do with wear. Once the ball's surface has been scuffed up a bit (enough that air can escape easily), the ball becomes far squishier.
In 2006, we had alliance partners asking to cherry-pick from all of our bins (that year, each alliance could load ten). Might be something to consider if you're quick about it.
