This ball has been bouncing around for nearly 40 years.
RC papers are junk and probably always will be junk.
Every few years the manufacturers of RC papers announce that their terrible products are new and improved and will now last longer.
This is usually true. But they are only new and improved and longer lasting in relation to their previous, incredibly horrible quality.
A better class of horrible is still horrible.
