Just curious why pillow ticking is the standard? Why not canvas or denim or muslin? What difference does it make? I understand the prerequisite that nothing synthetic be used s it would melt and gum up things... but beyond that, what's the difference as long as the ball is snug in the barrel?

Please enlighten me...
