Hi,
Friction is the amount of speed the ball retains after bounce. Ie, 0.58 mean the ball speed is 58% after bounce compared to before bounce.
Elasticity has to with angle of the bounce. Higher value = higher bounce
Skid I am not sure of. I think it is when the ball slides over court surface rather than spins off it. It only happens on grass and on low balls.
Surfacespeed seems to communicate to CPU what kind of surface they're playing on. I think it also gives bonuses to certain playing styles, ie volley is premiered with higher values etc. Example, changing clay to -0.5 instead of -1.0 will make volleyers serve and volley on clay. The value doesnt actually change any physics.
Other modders, please correct me if I got something wrong.
