The COLE BALL.
How Gravity Ia Foilsd In It's Flight
Through the Air.

How Gravity Is FoiIed In It's Flight
Through the Air.
Professor Petrie Guthrie TAFT had lit
tie skill at golf. but vast deal at sci
ence. Among the many problems to
which he applied his genius were some
concerning that apparently simple
thing. the fight Of golf ball. And
here he found difficulties so battling
that, though he worked over them for
yeaEs and called on other scientists for
assistance. many mysteries still re-
malned. One question that he solved,
however. is OF curious interest.
The force OF gravity is the one force
we know as most constant and inevita-
BILE. To defeat gravity is almost to
suspend one OF natures laws. In his
Investigations Professor TAFT suddenly
became aware that gravity was de-
feated by the golf ball. The fact ad-
mitted no doubt. on timing the flight
OF the ball he discovered that It re-
mained in the air almost twice as long
as It should have under the influence Of
gravity. Thus, with gravity acting as
usual on other things, a drive Of 200
yards would be completed in three
and a half seconds. A thrown ball.
for example. describing the same ira
| iectory. would remain in the air only
that length Of time. The golf ball in
passing over that 200 yards fioated Sc
renely through the air for six and a
half seconds.
II was clear. then, that in some man
ner the gravity was thwarted Pro-
fessor TAFT attacked the problem OF
the means. and in the end he solved it.
After searching long he found the
cause Of the prolonged flight in the ro-
tation given to the ball by the clubs
impact. The secret lay in the manner
Of the stroke from the tee.
The first principle of the explanation
. is in the simple fact that an object
poised in the air has an, equal atmos.
pheric pressure on it at all points. The
second principle is that when a sphere
rotates in a current OF air the side OF
the sphere which is advancing to meei
the current IS subjected 10 greater
pressure than is that side which 4
moving in the direction OF the current
To illustrate, when the golfer slices hi'
ball it Is made TO spin In such fashion
that its front side is constantly II
movement to the right. Therefore thu
pressure Of the air is greater on th'
left side than on the right, and the bal
curves TO the right y When the ball i
pulled. the operation is reversed, an'
the fight bends away to the left. So 1
the ball is topped the spinning dlrec
ton Of the front is downward. Thus th
pull OF gravity is aided and the fiigh
is swiftly checked. But every properl,
driven ball receives an undercut. r,
the underspin thus irnparted the from
side Of the ball is made TO spin up
ward; the added pressure is from be
low and is in consequence directly op
posed 10 gravity. The result is a Gigh
sustained. but little less than twice a
long as ii would be without this under
spin. Moreover Professor TAFT demon
strated that without this undercu
when driving the ball would trave
only about half fits usual distance.
The ordinary golfer is quite unawar
that he gives any underspin to his bes
drives. but be does. Without the IN
dercut his driving would be continu
