Re: Arc vs trajectory
Stated simply, in the context of table tennis, arc is part of total trajectory of the ball .
The trajectory can be thought of as the travel from the striker's racket to when the ball lands on the opponents' side
For a flat hit the arc angle is lowest
For a high lob the arc angle is highest
