I've decided to post bouncing ball animations for 20 days to learn and improve my skills. I've found on forum some exercises by slipsius which where posted on animation thread. Hope this forum help me do this.

I think there still could be a bit more hang time at the high point. Feels like there's a tiny 'wall hit'. Feels like it loses it's upwards momentum a tad too soon.
On the fall, the spacing could be a little cleaned up. It's more or less there for the most part but you could probably push it a little further and that at all times, the spacing is getting bigger.
Nice work!
Yes, now I see there is tiny hit at the highest point. And it could go deeper when it lands on ground.
Let's fix it.
I've edited animation after getting some tips from @AGoodFella

probably it need more slow down when it reaches the highest point.

and came with more "science" approach.

and then polished animation to look more natural.
13d. After that I've tweaked two peaks on a graph editor but now there is some acceleration at the end when ball is coming to stop.

yes If You could look at this animation please:

it is still the "Bounce in place with a coming to a stop. First frame is at the top, last frame is on the ground. (no squash and strech)".
The bounce is looking good. I would see if you push the spacing a little more, so it's accelerating more and see what that looks like.
Also, it's a little strobey as it bounces back up, like a flash. Putting in some squash and stretch will negate this.
Nice work, just put some squash and stretch in there and see if you can push the spacing a little more. Overall, nice work, now get that sucker moving across screen
I've changed spacing to get more acceleration like You said. But I didn't want to add squash and stretch. It's because I want to use it in further exercises after I get ball baucing accross screen with done.

For 15, I feel like the TZ tapers off just a little too much towards the end.
thanks for Your reply. I've tweaked tapers off in animation 15 and now I think it looks more natural.
