Jordan and his brother William are going to a special school for learning tennis. When they arrive the instructor asks each of them what level they believe they are as players. William has attended tournaments in the past so he believes himself to be competitive. Jordan on the other hand is just learning so he says he is an amateur.

He ask William if he can try one of his and the balls bounce much higher and faster. Will switching from a low compression tennis ball to a normal one increase or decrease how high it bounces.
