That 3 yard cut turns into a 20 yard slice OB in a hurry. Hitting up with less spin means more carry, more roll, and obviously more distance but it also means if I miss it a little and I don't get dead straight ball or slight cut then it isn't amplified 10x by the high spin. A mishit with 2500 spin on your driver vs. 3300 spin on your driver is a world of difference. Very informative and thoughtful explanation!!!
