I'm writing an article to be published tomorrow and I'll be happy to publicly thank those who can help...
The article talks about the old ball flight laws and the current, better, more accurate understanding we have.
I've seen clubface/swing path and launch data privately, but so far as I can tell the only public "data" that really exists comes from the Trackman newsletters (Jan/09 and Jul/09). Does data that demonstrates the proper, current ball flight laws exist elsewhere?
Does anyone know of a place with data like this? Specifically, I don't want to include sources that just say it's true - you can find plenty of sources like that which have the old, bad information. I'm looking for actual data...

The only place I can think of that's not on the web is the 'Physics of Golf' book by Dr. Jorgenson.
Welcome Aboard!

Too many things online just say "here's the facts" without any real supporting evidence. Sorry if I wasn't clear there. I'll comb through my copy of Physics shortly too. It's not in "Newton on the Tee." :-P

Where is your article going to be published? I would like to show it to my boss. Does not believe in the new ball flight laws. Kind of like santa claus, big foot, and ufos to some PGA pros.

I published it here. It's intentionally non-scientific so as not to confuse some of the average golfers, but I wanted to be able to point to publicly available resources that had some level of proof or data behind them when the questions inevitably come (or maybe they'll help hold them off). I particularly liked the links to the books by johngraham and hope I've attributed them well enough. If not, please let me know. Thanks.
