For this week we discussed about what we are going to do about the shooting string to get the most curve we possibly can. We also figured out that a regular over the shoulder pass/shot has a front spin so in order to have a curve to a shot it will most likely be up and down. A sidearm shot has a right to left rotation so that ball will curve side to side. We decided that the best shot that will look the coolest will be side to side for one because you will see it the most and it would be an actual curve or not. Where as the top to bottom shot will have the fact that when you shoot it goes down some anyway because of gravity. So you couldn’t really tell if it curved or not with basic physics. A elevator shot is shooting with your stick lowest to the ground as possible and shooting top of the goal. If I shoot far away enough this should give time for the ball to get wind under it and make it curve one way.

The first week of our project was focused on finalizing the control groups and figuring out what lacrosse balls and what sticks and what pockets we will use for the experiments. The only time that we got together for this week was actually not apart of this week. The time we got together was the day after we presented and we figured out all these things.
The reason that we did not get together this week is because we both have lacrosse practice after school Monday through Friday until 6:30 every night and then we have to do article of the week and other assignments from other teachers. After that long day of school and homework the last thing I want to do is more homework. The reason we did not work on this weekend is because we played more lacrosse on saturday all day. We played lacrosse starting at 7:00 a.m and finishing at 3:00 p.m. If you remember saturday, February 23 was very cold and was raining the entire time. After we finished lacrosse we were both so cold, wet and tired both of us did nothing for the rest of that day. Sunday Robby went to a church in another state and was gone for the entire day. We still got enough done for the first week of the project. We have all of our plans planned out and we are pretty much ready to record except for a couple of minor things. |
