Right. The AGS is supposed to make the ball feel more like a hockey puck. They are filled with liquid to slow the movement, make them sort of drag, and prevent them from raising off the ground too easy. Also, I'm not sure the UK climate really warrants red balls? I know they say they are for 20 degrees or over or something, but I think the orange are just as good until around 30 celcius. Different people like different ball play though. Personally I don't like the ball to bounce around like a steel bearing on concrete
