This helps explain to kids why a ball moves the way it does in a way that they can understand. Helps during games and practice to so they can understand and anticipate movement.

Like the person said before, it's just like some random wikipedia articles related to STEM and baseball. It's definitely not worth the price I paid (7.99).
