It actually could be the floor. What type of surface are you rolling it on? Carpet? Concrete? Tile?

Re: 2x ball dosent roll straight

the laws of physics are still in effect - an object in motion tends to stay in motion
what you dont realize is the material that is used in the 2X balls warps time-space

so within its own frame of reference it IS rolling straight, and the rest of the world is warped

thats why you are seeing what appears to be odd random motion.

Re: 2x ball dosent roll straight

I'm rolling a fully inflated (30 inch) ball on a flat cement floor. I don't think there are any space-time problems either, because no other balls (or any form of matter) display any erratic motion in the same place.

I think its something like that - it just seems pretty extreem to me.
