Why won't the Velocity change and make the ball move?
Right now I'm working on a golf game and I currently don't know why the ball doesn't actually move. This always works the first time I create and script the object but after the first test nothing works. IT'S FRUSTRATING!!!
local Ball = script.Parent
local AddVel = Vector3.new(75,150,0)
print("Hitting in 3 seconds")
wait(3)
Ball.Velocity = Ball.Velocity + AddVel
print("Hit")

The velocity property of parts can be a bit tricky to control sometimes, especially in unanchored parts. If you want to move the ball we can use something called a BodyMover , in this case BodyForce, which moves the part in world coordinates.
First let's make a force variable
local force = Vector3.new(75,150,0)
Next let's create the BodyForce instance and change its force
local bf = Instance.new("BodyForce")
bf.Force=force
Now let's put things together
local Ball = script.Parent
local force = Vector3.new(75,150,0)
local bf = Instance.new("BodyForce")
bf.Force=force
print("Hitting in 3 seconds")
wait(3)
bf.Parent=Ball
print("Hit")
