Is this some math exercise or do you want it to be of any actual use for tennis practice? Drag and Magnus effect due to ball spin are not negligible in the real world.
Not to mention that a lob may be hit from well behind the baseline and that most players don't remain statuesque at the net, but run backwards to hit a smash.FranzS said:Is this some math exercise or do you want it to be of any actual use for tennis practice?

It's a math exercise that we must make as practical as possible to 'help inform players in performing a successful shot'.PeroK said:Not to mention that a lob may be hit from well behind the baseline and that most players don't remain statuesque at the net, but run backwards to hit a smash.
Not sure about vector "functions" as such but you can use:themethetion said:TL;DR Summary: Using vector functions how can I find the minimum average velocity (something greater than 11.86m/s) of a ball if the launch angle is unknown and if I have a point that the object must travel through (11.86, 3.47)?
