Answered: Large Ball Diameter

Inflating the large balls to 15 inches and they feel like they are about to pop. Does the material actually hold to 16.5 inches???
I vaguely recall conversation at Event Partner summit that diameter was to be such that the balls could not be pushed under the rails.
More air appears it will pop the ball.

The Large Balls do inflate to in between 15.5" and 16.5". It’s important to not inflate them too quickly, as this may cause the balls to pop.

Thanks Karthik,
I stopped at 15.5…no explosion.
