Gave us:

How about an intermediate case, say two golf balls that are
imperfectly springy? That's also inelastic. What happens?

You forgot to notice that it depends on their location. In my hand,
no rebound on the golf balls. Against a ball laid on the floor,
rebound.

So you would call it "less perfectly springy" when on the floor?

Also, the steel balls behave in the opposite manner. In my hand, I
get a rebound. Against a ball laid on the floor, no rebound, just a
side deflection from the not quite so centered hit.

Sprongy sure has a thing about the physics of handling balls that are
not his.

Not to mention his fetish for sticks that're bigger than his.
