It is NOT up to the airline to decide if you can carry on balls or not. They can say you can or can''''t as far as they are concerned but the final decision comes down to the TSA supervisor in charge at the time you try to get that carry on through the scanners. We''''ve been going with 4 teams for years and have had no problems at times and at other times it''''s no go, even with the SAME airline out of the same airport. Finally the last time it got nixed we asked the TSA supervisor why the inconsistancy, and he told us it in the end is each individual supervisors decision to allow them or not. He even said that some that normally will let them go through sometimes won''t if it''s been a bad day. Kind of like a cop deciding to give you a ticket or a warning for going 11 miles over the limit. We don''''t even try carry on anymore.
