Most of you missed the point of this entirely. They are demonstrating the Magnus Effect, where the spinning ball drags air, creating high pressure on the bottom (against the spin) and low pressure on top (with the spin), generating lift and causing it to curve or "fly" forward and up, similar to a "reverse" curveball in baseball, even though it's falling. The backspin interacts with the air, accelerating it on one side and slowing it on the other, creating a force that counteracts gravity and pulls the ball forward, making it seem to defy the fall.

the dam causes an updraft. go to Hoover Dam and spill water out of a bottle over the edge and wonder in amazement..been there, done it

It's the wind, that travels down the entire dam, & makes the balls travel much further. Really has nothing to do with spinning the ball
