Orbit balls breaking

We went to our local walmart and bought 6 orbits balls. After about 5-10 mins of trowing them over our mock player station into the trashcan 4 out of 6 were significantly "looser" Upon inspection it seemed like the plastic connectors on each part of the ball break the glue joint damaging the plastic. We opened the balls and put tape on the joints but the balls are not the same.

We were wondering if anyone else was experiencing the balls breaking or getting loose. Under the abuse of a game match how much damage will these see, and what will be the policy on replacing game objects in between matches?
