Heya,
I just got a new 11m 2011 torch and the inflation valve has NO ball system to stop the air escaping when removing pump. I've checked in the local shop and they told me that all 11m have no ball system where as their spare bladers for 12 have. The 2011 catalogue clearly says they have the one way inflation valves ! !
Does anyone have/heard/can comment on this issue for the 2011 11m torch?

just squeeze the valve as you take the pump out. This is how all kite valves used to be and it was never a problem.

Hmmm vey strange. Maybe the bladder was replaced with a 2010 one, or the ball fell in
