Faster Stopping With Physics

I'm trying to make something where the player has a ball and moves it around by clicking.

I'm just applying an impulse of 1 on click towards the mouse position.

Right now, the ball rolls forever like so. However I want it to slow to a stop more quickly like this. I've turned the friction up on the ball and the floor . I've also messed around with the linear dampening, but that messes up the trajectory and makes it look weird. Is there another way to do this?

Hi,

you could try controlling the ball x velocity.

I suppose I could do that, but how would I know the difference between it being in the air or on the ground. And how could I decide if its rolling on a flat surface or if its going down a hill?

Well you could check for an overlap to see if its on a surface or not and you could check the y velocity to see if its going up or down.
