So does anyone have a theory or a diagram that describes the following vertical ball flights which are not covered by either the OBFLs or the NBFLs ... ?

- Extreme Top
- Top
- Runner
- Thinned
- penetrating
- Low Riser
- Flushed
- High
- Stalled
- Flop


And while we are on this subject (vertical flights) can anyone explain what difference approach angle makes to ball flight - ie same club one approaching teh ball horizontallly before impact, one on the downswing, and one on the upswing ?
- now that would be interesting
 
In the old days, it used to be "what goes up must come down" but I believe there is a new set of laws now that disproves the old laws.

:ears:
 
:angry:is the game not difficult enough for some people NOW we have to think of a physics question along with alignment,swing path,posture,how much spin the ball generates,is my gps giving a reading taking in the mole hill at 150 yds,what type of grass is the course made of,have i got a line on my ball to help me putt AAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHH! i only fancied having a game of golf to relax me!!!!!
