Of late I've been arriving at games to be given the match balls and they seem to be rock hard. To that end I've purchased a ball gauge that checks the pressure but also has a release that allows air out.
Today my gauge arrived in the post so I checked the LOTG and found the allowable range to be from 8.5 psi to 15.6 psi.
The upper limit almost twice the lower limit. At 9 psi it feels fine with just enough give to be able to head comfortably. (Important for the younger players in my opinion.) 15.6 psi seems way over the top.
Any thoughts on why or what you prefer?
