I agree,it's supposed to be a hot weather ball. The problem was the initial run of all the colours was a really small run so the batches of PVC mix was tricky to make up. The white and blue were a bit harder than the red and pink. It's one of the drawbacks of having such small quantities made up. Not a huge difference, but it's a trade off between hardness and low bounce. The new extra hot weather balls i have will only be good mid summer at the moment they bounce like mad. But in the heat of summer they will be perfect without sitting in ice.
I've been in the factory in Thailand recently and discussed this with the manufacturers, I reckon the fine tuning is nearly there. They have some glo in the dark options, and i have to submit a logo for the next batch. I think we are going to go with pink i reckon that was the most popular colour?
