loft angle and linear velocity From the Figure 7‚ there is a negative relationship between the loft angle of golf club and the linear velocity of golf ball. Which means as the loft angle increases‚ the linear velocity of ball decreases. The golf ball travels with relatively fast velocity at 9.2ms-1‚ when the loft angle is 0 degree‚ but it travels relatively slower at 3.7ms-1 when the loft angle is 80 degree. Also‚ the shape of graph seems to be a non linear graph rather than linear graph‚ because
