ABSTRACT:
Provided are a program and an information processing apparatus for controlling execution of a ball sports simulation game that can provide for a player sensations similar to those experienced when actually playing the sports. The program executed in the information processing apparatus includes the steps of detecting a ball striking strength and a ball operating angle for hitting a golf ball, which are set by a player using an input device; detecting a ball striking operation value and a ball striking angle for said golf ball at the time of hitting said golf ball, which are set by said player using the input device; performing a correction of a specific distance in accordance with said ball striking operation value at the time of hitting said ball to a traveling distance of said ball corresponding to said detected ball striking strength; and determining a flight mode of said ball based on said ball operating angle and said ball striking angle at the time of hitting said ball, which are set by said player using the input device.
