My theory has been if players take something off the shot then it'll be too slow and the keeper will get to it. Or worse it'll be blocked and there will be a counter-attack the other way. It's a fine line between a shot that's hard enough that the keeper can't dive to it and one that goes over the bar. With the new ball, that line is almost impossible.
