I have to do a controlled experiment for science fair project. I am very interested in magnus effect and curve balls. I understand the science behind it but can't figure out what experiment to carry out. How can I measure the curve ball and how will it be a controlled experiment? I was thinking about smooth balls vs. baseball with stiches but can't figure the control Thanks!
