new balls vs. old used up balls

YES! I am a MENTOR. Not a chaperone. I am busy all day, I don't want to deal with the stupidity that may or may not go on at night. Besides, I might see something as a cool physics experiment, where a chaperone might see someone dropping pop cans down the stair wells. - Not2B [more]

Re: new balls vs. old used up balls

Hmm...we have balls that barely resemble balls anymore, and there's no real change in accuracy or range.

However, we have found that balls that have already started to tear (from our prototypes) spit confetti, while new balls barely have any marks on them.
