This is the double-edged sword that is ball testing. On one hand, to understand the influence of the cover/dimple pattern, it's imperative to capture the full flight of the ball. On the other, that exposes you to environmental factors, namely wind, which invariably impact offline and dispersion values. For this report, we've focused on key performance metrics (ball speed, launch, spin and, ultimately, how they impact the distance equation). While understanding quality is why we created Ball Lab, we will be looking more closely at dispersion (among other things) in a later report.
