We have played in Columbia for st patty's day for a few years now and the game balls are usually overinflated and even when you get them to the proper psi they are still pretty hard. With all the attention being paid to concussions I think this is a good discussion to have. Every year I buy my teams a nike saber ball or adidas champions league final ball. They run about 40 or so a pop but they keep their shape and I have never had a player complain with either of them.
