  1. I would like to get all this right, but I won’t be able to shoot a new
    video until sometime in September. What puzzles me is that you have not
    mentioned the Magnus effect. Doesn’t the spin impart a major influence on
    the trajectory, and don’t the dimples magnify the Magnus effect? Thanks for
    your insights!

  2. thanks for the easy explanation. Last time somebody tried explained air
    pressure and lift to me I was completely confused

  3. thank you soooo much. I had to do a math project on golf and i needed a
    good explanation on golf and this is one of the best I have found. Thank you

  4. I was taught the dimples create turbulent flow, surrounding the ball in a
    layer of turbulent flow. The rest of the air over the ball is laminar flow.
    There is little drag exerted by the laminar flow on the turbulent layer
    causing is to fly further. 

  5. oh man I really love this. I´m going to try this for sure, my little
    cousins are gonna love it.
