(See also two-handed backhand.) o Backspin: spin imparted on the underside of the ball causing it to revolve backwards while travelling forwards.

  • Measurements of the Horizontal Coefficient of Restitution for a Superball and a Tennis Ball

    Measurements of the Horizontal Coefficient of Restitution for a Superball and a Tennis Ball

    Measurements of the horizontal coefficient of restitution for a superball and a tennis ball Rod Crossa) Physics Department, University of Sydney, Sydney, NSW 2006 Australia ͑Received 9 July 2001; accepted 20 December 2001͒ When a ball is incident obliquely on a flat surface, the rebound spin, speed, and angle generally differ from the corresponding incident values. Measurements of all three quantities were made using a digital video camera to film the bounce of a tennis ball incident with zero spin at various angles on several different surfaces. The maximum spin rate of a spherical ball is determined by the condition that the ball commences to roll at the end of the impact. Under some conditions, the ball was found to spin faster than this limit. This result can be explained if the ball or the surface stores energy elastically due to deformation in a direction parallel to the surface. The latter effect was investigated by comparing the bounce of a tennis ball with that of a superball. Ideally, the coefficient of restitution ͑COR͒ of a superball is 1.0 in both the vertical and horizontal directions. The COR for the superball studied was found to be 0.76 in the horizontal direction, and the corresponding COR for a tennis ball was found to vary from Ϫ0.51 to ϩ0.24 depending on the incident angle and the coefficient of sliding friction. © 2002 American Association of Physics Teachers. ͓DOI: 10.1119/1.1450571͔ I.

    Golf Course at Eastward Ho! L 11-20-12

    The Golf Course at Eastward Ho! William L. Healy, MD 2012 1 The Golf Course at Eastward Ho! "The Golf Course at Eastward Ho!" was written to tell the story of the golf course and to describe the eighteen golf holes at Eastward Ho! The impetus for this project was the author's amateur interest in golf course architecture and a desire to apply an evolving knowledge of golf course design to the golf course at Eastward Ho! This essay is not a comprehensive history of Eastward Ho! Edward Harriman (1973, 1978) and Virginia Doherty (1988) have previously recorded the history of the club. This project is limited to the story of the golf course and descriptions of the historic, topographic, architectural, and strategic characteristics of the eighteen golf holes. The hole-by-hole discussions include: yardage from the back tees, par, design characteristics, comments on the history, land, and features of the hole, thoughts on strategic playing of the hole, and names which have been suggested for the hole. "The Golf Course at Eastward Ho!" was initially written by and for the author with no intended audience. A brief essay was begun in 2009, and it has evolved to the present manuscript. The opinions expressed are personal, and they do not represent the club or any committee at Eastward Ho! This work was not authorized by Eastward Ho! The information presented is believed to be accurate, and references have been provided. However, this project is a work in progress. If readers discover incomplete information or unintended errors, please send suggestions for improvement.

People such as Maurice McLoughlin, a contemporary champion in 1915, wrote “’Strokes on the left- hand side of a right-handed player, and vice versa, are taken in what might be called the most ‘unnatural’ position in tennis. The backswing is much more hampered than in any other stroke. The strength of the wrist is much more demanding…all these things make the ordinary backhand stroke an awkward one…’ J. Parmly Paret wrote in 1927 ‘The backhand stroke is one of the greatest stumbling blocks for every beginner…if you’re like the average player, you’re pretty relaxed on the forehand, but when you see a ball coming to your backhand you cringe, ‘Dear God, it’s a backhand’(cited in Tabak, 1991, p.
  • Ball Trajectories

    Ball Trajectories

    42 Ball Trajectories Factors Influencing the Flight of the Ball Nathalie Tauziat, France By Rod Cross Introduction good tennis player knows instinctively how hard to hit a ball and at what angle to get the ball over the net and into the court so that the ball lands at just the right spot. This comes from years of practice. Players Amight be surprised to know just what they are doing in terms of the actual ball trajectories. For example suppose you hit a forehand at the baseline so that the ball lands on your opponent's baseline 78 feet away. If you hit the same ball but 1% faster it will land 18 inches beyond the baseline. If you hit the ball one degree higher it will land about 6 feet beyond the baseline, depending on the initial speed and angle. If you hit the ball one degree further to the left it will land 16 inches further to the left. When serving a ball at moderate to high speed, the ball must be served a few degrees down from the horizon- tal. Too far down and the ball will hit the net. Not enough and the ball will be long. The range of possible angles is only about two degrees, and it gets smaller if the ball is served faster or by a shorter player (Brody, 1987). The range of angles increases if the ball is served with topspin. Typical ball trajectories are shown below, togeth- er with an explanation of the trajectories. 368 Chapter 42 Examples of Ball Trajectories (a) Dropping a Ball (Free Fall) Suppose that a ball is dropped from a height of 1.0 m (about waist height) and is allowed to fall to the ground.
