Re: 2x ball dosent roll straight

The balls will never be completely uniform. The end of the ball where the hole is has slightly more weight, due to the utilization of thicker rubber at the inflation point. The ridges also play a part in manipulating the direction the ball rolls. There are all sorts of imperfections in the walls, but the effects are negligable when it comes to using the balls in short rolling distances.
By the way, were we supposed to get a plug or something for the ball? Our team didn't find anything in our kit that plugged up the hole for the big yellow ball.
