I'm excited, another physics issue! I think we need overhead, roof-top video for comparative purposes. What are the odds that pobguy will make another appearance and not all of us will agree with him?

Well, so far we've had aerial footage from a drone and pobguy postings (made my day). All that's left to see is if will we have consensus or "I don't care what the data indicate, my perception suggests otherwise".

Read the whole thing, and I need some sort of graphic or photos because I can't picture an orientation of the ball that loads the threads more to one side.

You gotta count my list of references... my history of the 2 years in the debate, and holding to what I seen on the bucket 3 yrs. ago. And my clips of it in action. :cool: Put the tape on right LOL It's all 2SEAMERS

EP: Oh yea, I emailed the Good Dr. and told him the gang would like to hear from him on this thread...

I didn't get a picture, but back 4+ years ago, I had DD on a set of roller blades throwing me a hockey puck, and getting her to stand it up... index finger first, then middle finger. The tape on the ball (the 2SEAM way) becomes the puck. I said stand that tape up hundreds of times. :cool:

No one ever accused you of lacking passion, enthusiasm, or a willingness to try explore alternative approaches! Just don't fall off the roof when capturing overhead video!

More on movement....as I scour the web for grip and rotation info. on 2 seam pitches I find that of course there is far more info on baseball. This video is really cool except for the fuzzy focus. Not necessarily 2 seam related but the multiple camera angles and high frame rate make it really useful for seeing break and spin of various pitches.
