I think it is fantastic that a few teams out there are fortunate enough to have access to instruments that are accurate enough to measure the ball speed precisely. So, can you do the rest of us a HUGE favor.
Now that you know exactly how fast your ball is launching and what angle of elevation you are launching, can you please calculate just how much air resistance and spin are affecting the balls flight. In other words, does the basic equation for trajectory, or more precisely range, equal what you are seeing? And if not, by how much are you off?
