Which of the following is a ball flight law?

• A. Arc Width
• B. Dynamic Loft
• C. Timing
• D. Ball Position

Answer: (B)

Dynamic loft is the actual loft delivered to the ball at impact, which comes from the club’s loft plus how you deliver the swing (attack angle and shaft lean). This directly sets the launch angle and spin, so it governs the ball’s initial trajectory. If you de-loft the club at impact with a forward shaft lean or downward strike, dynamic loft decreases and you get a lower launch with less backspin; if you increase dynamic loft, you launch higher with more spin. That direct influence on the ball’s flight makes it a ball flight law. Arc width relates to the shape of your swing arc, which doesn’t by itself determine the ball’s flight after impact. Ball position is a setup factor that influences where you strike the ball, not the immediate flight law. Timing concerns tempo or sequencing of the swing rather than the physics of the ball’s launch.
