Any demonstration of tai chi power requires something to push against. A deflated ball will not bounce. But the buoyancy is an important part of defensives structure. So, being bounced away is a sign of good defensive structure. You could neutralize the push easily, but doing so would put you in a more vulnerable shape.
The structure combined with awareness and sensitivity is a powerful advantage in a real fight.
