Extensive Ball Flight Laws Paper

[willgolfer]

Found this at the website which led me to the Brian Manzella site/forum.

The author dedicated it to Brian Manzella and John Graham (noted near bottom of paper above references).

Ball Flight Laws

Might want to refine this bit...

"it also measures the movement of the clubhead in space through the impact zone and the clubface orientation at impact."

Exnay on the measuring clubface-ay.

Great read Willgolfer.
Can't believe you didn't include the work of Cochran & Stobbs - 1968, Search for the Perfect Swing though in this paper! They had so much right, way before Trackman came along.
Have you looked at the size of the D-plane wedge and its relationship with launch angle and spin rate; only omission I could find.

It's not mine. The author is the guy who led me to this great website/forum.
