Aerodynamics of a Football Written by : Stepheria Hodge David Kinton Jeremy Greene           This article is designed to help all those who enjoy watching, playing, as well as cheering on their favorite football teams and players. Football is an art that should be well enjoyed as well as perfected. This article should be a help to improve the passing: through the means of flight in the air, whether the spiral or a twist in the ball helps the distance or whether the way the pass is during the flight simulation in comparison to a sheet of paper. By holding the ball in the middle, near its center of gravity, you get the best control. However, if you desire a faster pass, you would want to hold the ball at the rear. To keep the ball during its flight, the spin and angle must be correct. Although our studies and experiments were not centered around the particular angle, in which to throw the football, but which type of throw is most productive as far as distance. The type of hold, spin verses no spin, or the flight path of the football can gain the greatest distance. By using our research and experimenting we have found out that certain types of holds are the most productive.     First we will share our experiment and see if you can figure out , which works best. We'll use links to help you find the answer, personal investigations, and taking our word for it can help you coach and pass the football better.
