Will a round, light volleyball fly as or more straight than the American football ball?
Both balls are shot from the same launcher. The lighter volleyball will of course fly a bit faster – will it also fly more straight? This video has the answer.

The football episode was hotly debated in the comments to the video.
To clear up a misunderstanding: American Football is a great sport, and Mr. Drew Brees is a great thrower. We do not doubt that spinning the ball is important for longer distances, and also makes it easier to catch the ball.
But for short distances, and looking at accuracy only, there is no need for spinning.
