Once the ball starts to lose its momentum in the air it will start to fall but keep going farther and then hit the ground and probably go a little farther then too.There are two types of drag experienced by a sphere. The first is the obvious drag due to friction. This only accounts for a small part of the drag experienced by a ball. The majority of the drag comes from the separation of the flow behind the ball and is known as pressure drag due to separation. For laminar flow past a sphere, the flow separates very early. The surface roughness caused the flow to transition from laminar to turbulent. I hope this helps if not than message me.
