I recently reffed an u18s game and the ball i was given was like a cannon ball. Couldn't get my palms or fingers into the ball at all.
The ball on the gauge was 1.1 - maximum.
When i passed my course many moons ago i was told 06. - 1.1 is the official pressure but ignore that as really .06-0.9 are ideal dependent on the softness or hardness of the ground.
I cannot imagine a ball pumped up to 1.1 to be of any use to any set of players.
That being true, why are the ball pressure minimum and maximum so far apart?
