I wasn't, but since you mentioned durability, it makes me want to do some ammo tests...

...like moisture resistance.

- The orange AF ones are the smoothest brand available, but they DO seem very "porous".

- The red X-shot ones seem to be the most cheaply made with the very visible seam, but they're also the "shiniest" ones available, which makes me think they've probably got a denser surface that won't instantly soak up every drop of water they encounter.

I don't have a super-precise scale to measure how much water they each absorb, but I could probably get a good idea by just dropping them all in a bowl for a few minutes and seeing which ones "stay afloat" the most.

Probably a pointless test, though; if you get your balls wet you should probably throw them away instead of reusing them, anyhow.
