The maximum is the most you're capable of. The optimum is the amount or degree of anything that is most favorable toward the ends you desire.

Umberto Eco

There should be a minimum on the air pressure but not a maximum. Every game, they're taking air out of the footballs I'm throwing, and I think that's a disadvantage for the way that I like them prepped.
