New balls clearly slow the pace of the game down and "bangers" especially don't seem to like them. I think they tend to level the playing field some and perhaps give us more "mature" players a little more time. They last a lot longer without cracking, especially in the winter. Dual balls crack a lot when temperatures are 40 or below. You clearly don't want to change balls in the middle of a game and must be aware of which ball you will be using when you go into a new game. Bottom line its a game, enjoy it and I clearly wouldn't vote for players bringing their own balls.
