Wink Another New Spin

At high velocity, spin doesn't create any lift because it stabilizes the object around its own center of gravity.

At high velocity the bullet point (tip) is definitely not where the center of gravity is located.

A bullet still gets one hell of a RISE in AIR before it settles under either gravitational influences and/or SPIN.

But that is another subject, and I am talking about 100 mph rising baseballs in warm AIR.
