I stopped making any pretense of skill at ball games in junior high. I hit a "home run" in the tennis court during PE. Out of the court and over two rows of school rooms. It rolled into the "office".
The red line is the path of the ball from the tennis court to the "office".
Wow. Quite a shot.
We used to play ball with a little hard rubber ball. It went a mile when hit squarely.
