It's also easier to control it when throwing it because less pressure inside the ball allows one to get a better grip (friction) on it. The grip benefits manifest themselves most in wet conditions.

All the best.
So is it an elastic or inelastic collision?

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
