This study characterizes the dynamic Coefficient f Restitution (e) and the Kinetic Friction Coefficient (μ) across three distinct footwear upper materials-textured (PMC-T), hybrid (PMC-H), and smooth (PMC-S)-interfacing with three match ball casings exhibiting variable topography and damping characteristics (BC-G, BC-D, and BC-E). The results indicate that impact dynamics are predominantly influenced by the ball casing formulation; specifically, the low-hysteresis BC-E casing paired with the PMC-S upper yielded the highest global restitution (???? = 0.805). Conversely, tribological performance was found to be governed primarily by surface topography and environmental moisture. The macro-textured PMC-T coupled with the micro-grooved BC-G casing demonstrated optimal frictional performance ( µ ≈ , dry peak 0.66 µ ; = dry mean , 0.61 ), a phenomenon attributed to enhanced mechanical interlocking mechanisms. The introduction of an aqueous medium facilitated micro hydroplaning, resulting in a systematic degradation of performance across all interfaces, with relative friction reductions ranging from 27.6% to 33.3%. Ultimately, these mechanical metrics were contextualized within a tactical performance framework, suggesting that while smooth, low-damping pairings maximize normal kinetic energy transmission for long range striking, high-friction, textured interfaces optimize tangential force transmission, thereby enhancing control and spin generation in wet-weather conditions.
