That is the same thing people claimed about baseballs, but it turned out
to be a combination of an optical illusion (the mound being higher than

was simply dropping at a slower rate.
It may not be humanly attainable to make a baseball or golfball "rise",
but it's theoretically possible, right? I think wiffle balls can rise.
I suspect it is theoretically possible if you can put enough energy into it.
