File Information
Description

This is a collection of 4 MATLAB functions that have been inspired by the excellent Howard Brody's book : "Tennis science for tennis players", University of Pennsilvania press, 1987.

Two of the four functions rely on a Simulink scheme that implements a fairly detailed simulation of a flying tennis ball, spin and aerodynamics effects are taken into account.

Each function has its help with some ready to go examples that you are encouraged to try. Everything runs in MATLAB 5.3 as well as in 6.5 (and i suppose in each version between the two).

The spin modeling during the bounce has been greatly improved.
