When Humidity is Hi, ball travels less......When the Rel Humidity is within 10 of the Temperature, the ball becomes known as a heavy ball.....and can lose 10-12 % of it's travel velocity.....
Example....
Temp 74, RH 52....difference of 22....ball is considered light, will travel as hit.....
Temp 74, RH 40....difference 34, ball will travel further....Light air.....
Temp 74, RH 64.....difference 10...ball is now considered a "Heavy Ball"...will not travel as far....
Temp 74, RH 72...difference 2....extremely heavy ball, will lose 10-12 % travel distance....for example, a ball hit hard enough to travel 400 ft in conditions as shown in example 2, will travel about 350-360 feet under these conditions........
The Key ot figuring out the travel potential a ball has is....
The bigger the gap between Temp and RH, and the lower the RH figure, and if the wind is going out, the ball will travel...conversely use the opposite for less travel.....
With the Figures close to ec=ach other, a pitchers breakering stuff is enhanced, with a heqvy ball....opposite on a light ball....
Many a factors to figure using weather for playing OVERS or UNDERS....
Hope this helps.....kaptLast edited by Kaptain; 05-16-2007, 01:36 PM.
