Relative to the tilt of the camera. I thought I made that clear, but apparently not.

The camera was tilted downward. There is a small window of time where the ball will still be going up while it may, from the view of that camera, appear to have peaked or even going downward if viewed in isolation. But, that is strictly due to the tilt of the camera. Camera "level" is not necessarily "level".

The perfect camera level would be one exactly even with the ball at the time it was hit and with no tilt. Not having that, you take what you have and account for the angles.
