Default How hard should my balls be?

Well, squash isn't a word that comes to mind looking at those - don't
like the look of those shears either, especially in context :-(



They ain't shears, they're scissors...

Right, in acknowledgement of the interest shown by your own good self, you
shall be the first to hear how this little experiment went:

First, you've seen my balls:

Now, by means of a secret method, they are made up thus (note the interest
shown by the DLL who has nothing better to do):

Here is the deck on the 'Spunj Feet' (which have just about the right amount
of give):

And now on the 'Bolly Feet':

A quick comparison (sighted, because I need help with the lifting/placement)
brought the following reaction from my resident, totally neutral 'Golden
Ears' - 'Wow! Much more 'airy' and tuneful!!'

??? ('Sonorous' was also said a little while afterwards! ;-)

Now, guess which way round that was...??

Comparisons not yet started in earnest and they will be done as 'blind' as
possible with anybody who is up for it......



In that case you just need to rest the deck straight down. The balls
won't be contributing anything except perhaps a bit of wobbliness and
a tendency to go skidding off the stand if someone coughs.
