Excellent! Someone latej is trying to solve this "wrapping" issue.The ball contact is not a point, take a new ball, make a hit, and you can see the area is like 15 mm in diameter.
If the ball travels 72 km/h, it is 20 mm/ms. The hand can also travel that fast to give that impuls/speed to non-moving ball.
Now FZD does some wrapping (pronation/supination, I'm not sure which is which.), we can see that during the stroke the angle changes, let's say it changes 30 degress on 30 cm stroke, which is 1 degree on 10 mm. Since arm speed is 20 mm/ms, we get his angular speed is 2 degree/ms. (There is a big range obv.)
I accept your numbers.
That is close enough for this discussion.Even if we estimate the ball contact time to be 1ms.
I see the paddle only wrapping 2% of the ball. That is not a lot. I don't see where you come up with 5%Actually I think what happens during the ball contact is super complex. But even if we estimate the ball contact to be 1ms, and we know its diameter 40mm, and we know FZD's angular wrapping speed 2 degree/ms. That wrapping during that time on that diameter produces a length, which is "comparable" to ball contact area diameter 15 mm, it can easily make 5% of it.
I think you are in the ball park but I don't see how you get 5%.I've made these crude calculations to myself, I am convinced now, these things are real. Now, for the next season my goal to improve my ranking percentile by 5%.
EDIT: I wrote it before I read your last post zeio. Imagine the delight when I read that the contact time is 1ms ;-)
Now here is the question for everyone. Do you think FZD can time the contact to the millisecond? What if contact is made a millisecond sooner or later than optimal?
Zeio and Nextlevel are still doing the flail and fail.
