why are high bounce balls so bouncy?
Spalding high bounce balls are soft (easily deformed) compared to solid rubber bouncy balls or high pressure rubber balls (eg, basket ball).
Why are high bounce balls so bouncy despite the fact that kinetic energy from the drop is wasted in deforming the ball (by generating heat in the rubber and moving the air around it)?

Only a relatively small amount of the energy is lost in the form of heat. Most of it gets converted into the form of elastic potential energy, which then gets converted back to potential energy as the ball bounces back to its regular shape.
