Discussion: High Percentage Shot
Off a Ceiling Backwall
 


It is possible that the fourth contact point is the sidewall instead of the backwall if your opponent hit an angled ceiling ball. Therefore, a new crucial variable comes into play: the coefficient of friction (µ) or called Mu. Basically, if the ball hits the sidewall first, then, µ, would decrease its velocity and changes its angle as it approaches the backwall.

Since friction has decreased the ball’s velocity, you have to estimate and determine how much were V and Power affected by µ and thus, at what angle will it comes off the sidewall and hit the fifth and final contact point, the backwall. How far will the ball caroms off the sidewall into the backwall? Spins? Position yourself based on all these variables.
